prompt-enginelisted

Turn a vague creative ask into a precise, model-optimized prompt for image or video generation — the quality engine the director skills call. It produces a PROMPT; capx never generates the media itself.

Turn a fuzzy ask ("make it look cool") into a **specific, model-shaped prompt** that the user's own image or video tool can actually execute well. This skill **only writes the prompt** — the user's connected media tool generates from it; capx generates nothing. It's the shared quality engine `image-director` and `video-director` call. The idea + medium: "$ARGUMENTS" Follow these steps: 1. **Read the intent and the medium.** From "$ARGUMENTS": what's the subject, what's it *for* (a launch, a TIL, a product), image or video, and the target model if named. If the medium isn't clear, ask. 2. **Extract the visual spec.** Name the levers explicitly — vague prompts get vague output: - **Subject** — the concrete thing, and what it's doing. - **Composition & framing** — shot type, angle, focal point, aspect ratio (X: 16:9 / 1:1 / 9:16). - **Style** — photoreal / illustration / 3D / diagram; reference an era or medium, not a living artist. - **Light & mood** — lighting direction, palette, tone. - **For video also:** the opening beat (first second), camera motion, pacing, and duration. - **Negatives** — what to exclude (text artifacts, extra fingers, watermarks, clutter). 3. **Write the prompt to the model's shape.** Different models want different phrasing (natural-language vs tag-weighted vs structured). If the target model is known, format for it; otherwise give a clean natural-language prompt plus a short negative list. Keep it tight — precise beats lo
