Style-Lock Builder Skill for Consistent AI Images
Turn one paragraph about the look you want into a reusable style block of 12 checked phrases, 6 avoid phrases, a may-change list and 3 example prompts. Image series drift because the style words change from prompt to prompt, contradict each other, or are too vague to hold a look. Image Prompt Style-Lock Phrase Set turns one paragraph describing the look you want for a series of AI-generated images (subjects, medium, mood, colours, light, framing, what to avoid) into a reusable style block you paste into every prompt unchanged: 12 fixed style phrases in 8 named slots, 6 avoid phrases, a list of what may change per image, and 3 example prompts. It writes text only; it generates no images and calls no image tool.
Example input
[HAND-WRITTEN FICTIONAL SAMPLE - invented for testing.] I'm making about 40 illustrations for a children's picture-book style series about forest animals running a tiny post office - a fox, a hedgehog, a badger and some birds delivering letters. I want it to look like soft gouache painting on textured paper: warm muted colours (moss green, rust orange, cream, dusty blue), gentle morning light, simple rounded shapes, characters shown mostly full-body at eye level with plenty of space around them. Mood: calm and cozy. The images must never have text or letters drawn in them, no photo look, no scary or dark scenes. Square format.
