[Subject] + [Action/Pose] + [Style/Medium] + [Context/Setting] + [Lighting] + [Camera/Technical]
| Use Case | Recommended Model | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fastest generation | FLUX.2 [klein] | 4B or 9B, sub-second |
| Highest quality | FLUX.2 [max] | Best detail, grounding search |
| Production balanced | FLUX.2 [pro] | Quality + speed |
| Typography/text | FLUX.2 [flex] | Best text rendering |
| Local/development | FLUX.2 [dev] | Open weights |
| Image editing | FLUX.2 [pro/max] | Pass image URL directly to input_image |
| Inpainting | FLUX.1 Fill | Object removal/completion |
| Context editing | FLUX.1 Kontext | Older model, prefer FLUX.2 |
For API integration (endpoints, polling, webhooks), see the bfl-api skill.

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] ``` ### Model Selection | Use Case | Recommended Model | Notes | | ------------------- | ----------------- | -------------------------------------- | | Fastest generation | FLUX.2 [klein] | 4B or 9B, sub-second | | Highest quality | FLUX.2 [max] | Best detail, grounding search | | Production balanced | FLUX.2 [pro] | Quality + speed | | Typography/text | FLUX.2 [flex] | Best text rendering | | Local/development | FLUX.2 [dev] | Open weights | | Image editing | FLUX.2 [pro/max] | Pass image URL directly to input_image | | Inpainting | FLUX.1 Fill | Object removal/completion | | Context editing | FLUX.1 Kontext | Older model, prefer FLUX.2 | ### 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 ## Related For API integration (endpoints, polling, webhooks), see the **bfl-api** skill. ## Rules Reference Read individual rule files for detailed guidance: - [rules/core-principles.md](rules/core-principles.md) - Universal FLUX prompting principles - [rules/flux2-models.md](rules/flux2-models.md) - FLUX.2 family: klein, max, pro, flex, dev - [rules/flux1-models.md](rules/flux1-models.md) - FLUX.1 family: older generation of FLUX.2 models - pro, Kontext, Fill - [rules/t2i-prompting.md](rules/t2i-prompting.md) - Text-to-image prompting patterns - [rules/i2i-prompting.md](rules/i2i-prompting.md) - Image-to-image editing with FLUX.2 - [rules/json-structured-prompting.md](rules/json-structured-prompting.md) - Complex scene composition - [rules/hex-color-prompting.md](rules/hex-color-prompting.md) - Precise color specification - [rules/typography-text.md](rules/typography-text.md) - Text rendering and typography - [rules/multi-reference-editing.md](rules/multi-reference-editing.md) - Multi-image references - [rules/negative-prompt-alternatives.md](rules/negative-prompt-alternatives.md) - Positive alternatives - [rules/model-selection-guide.md](rules/model-selection-guide.md) - Choosing the right model ## Example Prompt ``` A weathered fisherman in his 70s with deep wrinkles and a salt-and-pepper beard, wearing a navy cable-knit sweater, standing at the helm of his wooden boat.
