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.

Prerequisites

Install and load these skills before generating (skip if already in context via @pruna):

Skill	Description	Install
generation-diversity	Use when writing any generative prompt — ritual seed, explicit structure, scenario axes, and quality gates before paid API calls.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@generation-diversity -y
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
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

Routing: Use `p-image` for simple, quick photo generation from a short prompt. When photo generation needs more control (text in the image, structured JSON with hex/bbox, high-detail photoreal), use `p-image-ideogram` (defaults thinking: high, prompt_upsampling: true; low + prompt_upsampling: false + explicit prompt for a faster pass on the same model). For edits or video, use `p-image-edit` or `p-video` — not a new photo generation re-roll.

In the first reply, name `p-image` in backticks, confirm PRUNA_API_KEY is set (or stop with signup links from pruna-api), then ask for prompt / aspect ratio (open intake → generation-diversity clarification intake). When drafting the prompt, follow Prompt craft (dynamic + faithful) — do not paste skill examples.

Prompt craft (dynamic + faithful)

Every input.prompt must be fresh and specific, and must keep the user's request. Diversity never overrides the brief.

Do	Don't
Run the generation-diversity random seed ritual; state it; rotate ≥2 free axes (camera, lighting, setting texture, render category)	Copy curl examples from this skill (otter DJ, corgi cowboy, …) or reuse a prior session's prompt
Lock user-required facts first (subject, product, brand cues, must-keep props, readable text if asked)	Swap the subject for a “cooler” scene that ignores the request
Expand with concrete nouns, frozen action, materials, placement (image-prompting golden rules)	Vague mood-only strings (cool product vibe, neon)
Show the drafted prompt + aspect_ratio before POST when the user has not locked wording	Silent regen with a different subject than approved

Fidelity check (before pay): if you remove the user’s named subject/product/setting from the prompt, the job is wrong — rewrite. Free axes only fill what the brief left open.

When showing a drafted prompt, still name `p-image` (guides help craft; this tool owns the call).

Pruna note: p-image has no prompt upsampling — concrete language is the whole craft. Avoid dense readable typography unless the user explicitly asked for copy on a surface.

When NOT to use

Use a different skill instead:

Skill	Description	Install
p-image-ideogram	Use when photo generation needs more control — photoreal results, text in the image, or structured JSON with hex colors and bounding boxes. Simpler photo generation, edits, and video use other skills in the suite.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-image-ideogram -y
p-image-edit	Use when someone wants to edit an existing photo — change outfits or backgrounds, compose from reference images, or apply prompt-driven edits.	npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-image-edit -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

HTTP (curl)

Create (async — recommended)

bash

curl -X POST 'https://api.pruna.ai/v1/predictions' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "apikey: ${PRUNA_API_KEY}" \
  -H 'Model: p-image' \
  -d '{
    "input": {
      "prompt": "Disco ball reflections on an otter DJ scratching vinyl at a packed 1970s roller rink, fish-eye lens, glitter confetti mid-air, funky energy",
      "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 api_seed only when the user requests reproducibility.

Create (sync — quick test only)

bash

curl -X POST 'https://api.pruna.ai/v1/predictions' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "apikey: ${PRUNA_API_KEY}" \
  -H 'Model: p-image' \
  -H 'Try-Sync: true' \
  -d '{"input":{"prompt":"Corgi cowboy lassoing a runaway taco truck through Monument Valley dust storm, pulp western poster energy, dynamic diagonal composition","aspect_ratio":"16:9"}}'

Generation flow

Follow generation-diversity still-image prompt flow every time:

1. Lock brief — user subject, product, format, any copy-on-surface.
2. Ritual seed — fresh string; derive free axes (camera, lighting, render_category_tag, aspect_ratio when unset).
3. Draft explicit prompt — Prompt craft (dynamic + faithful) + image-prompting golden rules; fidelity check before pay.
4. Confirm — show prompt + aspect_ratio unless wording is locked.
5. POST — async curl below; poll via pruna-api; run p-image quality checklist before upscale/video.

Aspect ratio: pass aspect_ratio in input; if output dimensions do not match (e.g. asked 16:9, got portrait), retry once with explicit horizontal wide / vertical wording in the prompt.

Mood board / batch: new ritual per independent still; different aspect_ratio per panel when format not locked.

Photo approved → edit: hand off to p-image-edit on the output URL — do not run photo generation again for the same subject.

Required input

• prompt (string)

Common optional fields

• aspect_ratio: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3, custom (with width / height multiples of 16, 256–1440)
• seed, lora_weights, lora_scale, hf_api_token, disable_safety_checker
