Instructions

# Nano Banana Prompting

Interactive prompt crafting for Nano Banana Pro image generation. This skill guides users through a structured process to create effective prompts by clarifying intent and applying proven techniques.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Gather Reference Materials

Before asking questions, check if the user has provided:

- **Reference images** - Photos to use for character consistency, style, or composition
- **Existing prompts** - Previous attempts to improve upon
- **Visual references** - Screenshots or examples of desired output

If reference materials are available, this affects which techniques apply (e.g., Reference Role Assignment, Character Consistency).

### Step 2: Clarify Intent with Questions

Use the `AskUserQuestion` tool to understand the user's goal. Ask questions in batches of 2-4, focusing on the most important aspects first.

#### Core Questions (always ask)

1. **Output Type** - What kind of image?
   - Photo/realistic
   - Illustration/artistic
   - Infographic/educational
   - Product shot/commercial
   - UI mockup/design

2. **Subject** - Who or what is the main focus?
   - Person (with or without reference)
   - Object/product
   - Scene/environment
   - Concept/abstract

#### Technique-Specific Questions (based on answers)

**If Photo/Realistic:**
- What era or camera style? (modern DSLR, 1990s film, 2000s digital)
- Specific lighting? (golden hour, studio, flash)
- Aspect ratio needed? (16:9, 9:16, 1:1)

**If Reference Images Provided:**
- What role for each image? (pose, style, color palette, background)
- Should character identity be preserved?
- Combine images or use as style reference?

**If Text Needed:**
- What text should appear?
- What font style? (serif, sans-serif, handwritten)
- Where should text be placed?

**If Educational/Infographic:**
- What concept to explain?
- Target audience level?
- Should it include labels, arrows, flow?

### Step 3: Determine Promp
