image-prompting | Use when crafting still-image prompts for any generative model — composition, identity sheets, edits, try-on, and photoreal personas. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@image-prompting -y |
video-prompting | Use when crafting video or motion prompts for any generative model — dramaturgy, camera, physics-safe motion, frame anchors, and clip chaining. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@video-prompting -y |
pruna-api | Use before any Pruna or Replicate HTTP call — credentials, upload/poll/download, parallel batches, and agent safety. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@pruna-api -y |
Or install the full suite once: npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@pruna -y
Follow each skill's Before generating / craft sections — do not restate guide content here.
Agent habit
In the first reply, name `p-image-edit` in backticks, confirm PRUNA_API_KEY, then ask for the source photo (and edit brief). Open intake → generation-diversity clarification intake when needed. Draft edits with Prompt craft (dynamic + faithful). Redirect to p-image-try-on when the job is garment fit from packshots.
Prompt craft (dynamic + faithful)
Edit prompts are surgical and request-locked. Change only what the user asked; keep everything else identical. Diversity applies to how you phrase the change — not to inventing a new scene.
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|
Formula: Change [specific thing]. Keep [identity / pose / lighting / background] identical. (image-prompting edit craft) | Make it better / mood-only rewrites that ignore the brief |
| Name every must-keep from the user (face, outfit, pose, background, product) | Drop keep-clauses and hope the model preserves them |
Fresh ritual seed from generation-diversity before drafting; vary free wording (materials, hex, camera nuance) when the brief allows | Copy this skill’s sample (soft gradient) when the user asked for something else |
Point at refs when composing: face from image 1, outfit from image 2 | Vague combine these images |
Show the edit prompt before POST when wording is not locked | Silent edit that changes subject, species, age, or unrequested regions |
Fidelity check (before pay): the prompt must still satisfy the user’s change and every stated keep. If a keep is missing, add it. Do not “spice” the background/cast when they asked for a background-only swap.
When NOT to use
Use a different skill instead:
| Skill | Description | Install |
|---|---|---|
p-image | Use when someone explicitly wants the fastest, cheapest photo generation — mood boards, bulk panels, or quick iterations — not when controlled photoreal or in-image text is needed. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-image -y |
p-image-try-on | Use when someone wants virtual try-on — dress a person in clothes from reference photos for fashion or ecommerce. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-image-try-on -y |
p-image-upscale | Use when someone wants to upscale or sharpen an existing image for print, large crops, or higher-quality delivery. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-image-upscale -y |
HTTP (curl)
Upload references
curl -X POST "https://api.pruna.ai/v1/files" \
-H "apikey: ${PRUNA_API_KEY}" \
-F "content=@/path/to/reference.png"
Use each response urls.get in input.images.
Create (async — recommended)
curl -X POST 'https://api.pruna.ai/v1/predictions' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H "apikey: ${PRUNA_API_KEY}" \
-H 'Model: p-image-edit' \
-d '{
"input": {
"prompt": "Change background to soft gradient, keep subject identical",
"images": ["https://api.pruna.ai/v1/files/FILE_ID"],
"aspect_ratio": "9:16"
}
}'
Poll and download: follow pruna-api.
Complete the random seed ritual from generation-diversity before writing prompts — do not pass the ritual string as API seed. Optional seed only when the user requests reproducibility.
Create (sync — quick test only)
curl -X POST 'https://api.pruna.ai/v1/predictions' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H "apikey: ${PRUNA_API_KEY}" \
-H 'Model: p-image-edit' \
-H 'Try-Sync: true' \
-d '{
"input": {
"prompt": "Change background to soft gradient, keep subject identical",
"images": ["https://api.pruna.ai/v1/files/FILE_ID"],
"aspect_ratio": "9:16"
}
}'
Edit flow
Follow generation-diversity still-image prompt flow (edit section):
- Lock change + keeps — user’s surgical ask; formula in Prompt craft (dynamic + faithful).
- Upload refs —
POST /v1/files;urls.get→input.images(1–5). Never invent file URLs. - Ritual seed → draft edit prompt (
image-promptingedit craft) → fidelity check (every keep clause present). - Confirm —
prompt, refs,aspect_ratio,turbo(off for hard edits). - POST — async curl below; checklist before upscale/video.
Aspect ratio: prefer match_input_image for edits; output should keep the plate aspect — if drift occurs, retry with the same ref URL and explicit keep clauses.
Pruna note: avatar pipelines — edit from locked upscaled hero URL; upscale again before p-video* — never pass raw edit URLs to video models.
Not edit: new subject from scratch → p-image. Garment fit from packshots → p-image-try-on.
Multi-reference (up to 5): index refs by role — e.g. three-reference composite: face from image 1, outfit from image 2, cafe from image 3; turbo: false for hard composites. Full pattern in image-prompting p-image-edit-prompting.
Required input
prompt(string)images(array of 1–5 URLs, typicallyhttps://api.pruna.ai/v1/files/{id})
Common optional fields
aspect_ratio:match_input_image,1:1,16:9,9:16, etc.turbo(boolean, default true; turn off for harder edits)seed,disable_safety_checker
