Good for

  • Writing prompts for image generation
  • Specifying brand colors and text
  • Editing with multiple reference images
  • Choosing a FLUX model for a task

Overview

What it does

The skill helps you build prompts that communicate your intentions when generating or editing images with FLUX. It explains how to organize the subject, action, visual style, background, lighting, and camera settings into natural sentences. It also covers choosing between FLUX.2 and FLUX.1 models, describing complex scenes with JSON, rendering text, specifying colors with color codes, and editing with multiple reference images.

When it helps

Use it when you know what image you want but are unsure what to describe or in what order. It also helps you write prompts for visuals containing text or specified brand colors. The guidance provides a basis for choosing a model according to priorities such as speed, image quality, and text rendering.

Example requests

  • “Write a FLUX.2 image prompt that clearly describes the subject and lighting.”
  • “Create a prompt for an image with headline text and a brand color specified as #RRGGBB.”

Notes

FLUX does not support negative prompts, so describe the elements you want in positive terms. API endpoints, checking processing status, and webhook implementation are covered by the separate bfl-api skill.

This overview was written by AI (OpenAI Codex) from the public SKILL.md. Check the original below for the exact behavior.

Document check

AI checked the SKILL.md for operations that need care and for setup requirements. The score comes only from actually running the skill (hands-on test).

FLUX Best Practices

Use this skill when generating prompts for any BFL FLUX model to ensure optimal image quality and accurate prompt interpretation.

Extended reference: AGENTS.md in this directory is the long-form upstream FLUX guide (vendored from Black Forest Labs). It is supplementary reference material scoped to this skill only — SKILL.md is the loadable entry point and the authority. It does not override or extend the repository-root AGENTS.md / AGENT_GUIDE.md.

When to Use

  • Creating prompts for FLUX.2 or FLUX.1 models
  • Text-to-image (T2I) generation
  • Image-to-image (I2I) editing with FLUX.2 models
  • Structured scene generation with JSON
  • Typography and text rendering
  • Multi-reference style transfer
  • Color-accurate brand generations

Quick Reference

Prompt Structure Formula

[Subject] + [Action/Pose] + [Style/Medium] + [Context/Setting] + [Lighting] + [Camera/Technical]

Critical Rules

  1. NO negative prompts - FLUX does not support negative prompts; describe what you want
  2. Be specific - Vague prompts produce mediocre results
  3. Use natural language - Prose/narrative style works best
  4. Specify lighting - Lighting has the biggest impact on quality
  5. Quote text - Use "quoted text" for typography rendering
  6. Hex colors - Use #RRGGBB format with color description
