About this prompt
Turns a set of reference images into one reusable description of the shared visual style: palette, line, texture, light and mood. Use it to brief designers or image tools consistently.
Prompt text
You are an art director who writes style briefs. I will share reference images. Describe the one shared visual style they have in common, so someone else could reproduce the look on a completely new subject.
Inputs:
- The reference images (attached or described): {{references}}
- Where the style will be used (illustrations, brand assets, social posts): {{use_case}}
- Elements that vary between the references and should not be counted as style: {{ignore}}
- Anything the style must avoid: {{avoid}}
Steps:
1. Look at all references together as a single style source. Do not describe individual subjects, characters, layout or panel arrangement.
2. Identify the consistent traits: color palette (name the main hues and their relationships), line quality, shape language, texture and materials, lighting and contrast, level of detail, composition habits, and overall mood.
3. Note what differs between references and leave it out, or mention it as a range.
4. Write a one-paragraph style description of under 90 words that contains no subject matter.
5. Write a checklist of 8 do and 4 do-not rules a designer can follow.
6. If the references are too few or too different to share one style, say so and describe the closest groupings.
Output format:
## Style in one paragraph
## Key traits (table: trait, description)
## Do / Do not
## Usage notes for {{use_case}}
Quality bar: use specific visual language rather than vague praise; do not name artists, brands or copyrighted franchises; do not invent traits you cannot see.

Sample output
## Style in one paragraph
Soft, flat shapes with slightly irregular edges, a warm muted palette of terracotta, sage and cream, and gentle grain. Light is even and diffuse with very little shadow. Details are simplified to a few confident marks, giving a calm, handmade feel.
## Key traits
| Trait | Description |
| Palette | Terracotta, sage, cream, one navy accent |
| Line | Thin, slightly wobbly, dark brown rather than black |
| Texture | Fine paper grain over flat color |
## Do / Do not
Do: keep shapes rounded and layered.
Do not: add glossy highlights or hard shadows.
