What it does

The skill turns a scene description into a ready image-generation prompt using pre-built hand-drawn recipes. It picks a style by name or trigger, fills the content into a template, handles aspect ratio and returns the final prompt text. For a complex stable style it offers a multi-step process with intermediate corrections. The skill does not draw images itself; it prepares the text you hand to a generation model.

Who it is for. For designers, content teams and marketers who need consistent prompts for hand-drawn images.

Good fit when

  • You need a prompt for an image in a specific hand-drawn style
  • You need a series of illustrations in one recognizable style
  • You need to quickly pick a style for a kids or family format

Not a fit when

  • You need photorealism or strict technical graphics
  • You have no access to an image-generation model

Example request

Assemble a prompt for a family illustration in the crayon style, 3 to 4 ratio

Limitations

The skill outputs prompt text only; generation is done by an external model. The instructions and some styles are in Chinese, and the recipes cover a specific set of tested styles. The stable style needs the full multi-step process, otherwise the result is treated as intermediate.

How to disable. Delete the skill folder from ~/.claude/skills or your agent's skills directory.

FAQ

Does the skill generate images itself?

No, it only prepares the prompt. Generation is done by an external model you pass the text to.

Which agents does it work with?

Any agent that reads custom instructions: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cline, Windsurf and others.

README in short

The README describes a set of tool-agnostic hand-drawn prompt recipes. The user picks a style, fills in the content, and the skill returns a ready prompt for a generation model. It ships with tested built-in styles and a separate multi-step process for the stable style. The skill installs by cloning the repository into the skills directory and fits agents that read custom instructions.

# hand-drawn style prompt generator

1. Follow the 5-step flow in PROTOCOL.md: pick style, take recipe, fill placeholders, handle ratio, output prompt.
2. Take the full template by number from STYLES.md.
3. When scripts are available prefer scripts/render_prompt.py, without manual abbreviation or synonym rewriting.
4. The stable style 3.1 for production requires the full three-stage workflow.
5. Other styles output the final prompt only; the skill does not generate images.
