.claude/skills/midjourney-prompting/# Midjourney V7 Prompting Guide ## Quick Reference: Prompt Structure A Midjourney prompt has up to four parts: ``` /imagine [description] [image URLs] [parameters] ``` **Key Principle**: Short, specific prompts work best. Describe what you want to SEE, not abstract concepts. --- ## The 7-Element Framework Build complete prompts systematically: | Element | Question | Examples | |---------|----------|----------| | **Subject** | Who/what is in the image? | A weathered fisherman, a cyberpunk samurai | | **Medium** | What art form? | Oil painting, photograph, 3D render | | **Environment** | Where is this? | Stormy harbor, neon-lit alley, misty forest | | **Lighting** | How is it lit? | Golden hour, dramatic backlighting, soft diffused | | **Color** | What palette? | Muted blues, warm earth tones, high contrast | | **Mood** | What feeling? | Melancholic, triumphant, eerie | | **Composition** | How is it framed? | Rule of thirds, centered, wide shot | **Example**: ``` A weathered fisherman, oil painting, stormy harbor at dawn, dramatic backlighting, muted blues and grays, melancholic, rule of thirds composition --ar 3:2 ``` --- ## Essential Parameters | Parameter | Purpose | Values | Default | |-----------|---------|--------|---------| | `--ar` | Aspect ratio | Any ratio (16:9, 2:3, 1:1) | 1:1 | | `--stylize` / `--s` | Artistic interpretation | 0-1000 | 100 | | `--chaos` / `--c` | Variation between grid images | 0-100 | 0 | | `--weird` / `--w` | Unusual aesthetics | 0-3000 | 0 | | `--no` | Exclude elements | Words (comma-separated) | - | | `--seed` | Reproducibility | 0-4294967295 | Random | | `--style raw` | Less MJ beautification | - | Off | | `--tile` | Seamless patterns | - | Off | ### Reference Parameters | Parameter | Purpose | Weight Control | |-----------|---------|----------------| | `--sref [URL or code]` | Copy style from image | `--sw 0-1000` (default 100) | | `--cref [URL]` | Copy character from image | `--cw 0-100` (default 100) | | `--iw` | Ima
