Prompt template
{subject}, rendered as a precise graphite schematic engraving plate, {palette}, fine graphite hairline contour lines and nested annotation linework mapping the subject like a printed instrument manual, faint scanner-gray measurement grid behind it, calibration ticks forming ruler bands, leader lines with rotated coordinate tags, a single restrained cyan registration bracket on one focus point, on warm bone off-white e-paper with subtle grain, monochrome and clinical, quiet with no glow, filling the frame edge to edge
Slot recipes
hero — A wide full-frame subject drawn as a graphite schematic survey plate, fine graphite hairline contour lines and nested annotation linework spanning edge to edge over warm bone e-paper, calibration ticks and ruler bands at the margins, a single cyan registration bracket on one focus point, clinical and quiet.
feature — A single centred subject rendered as a graphite schematic plate with fine hairline contour lines, leader-line callouts and small calibration ticks on warm bone e-paper, the subject filling the frame, one cyan registration bracket.
avatar — A single tight subject motif as a graphite schematic plate with fine hairline contour lines and a small calibration tick band on warm bone e-paper, centred and filling the frame, one quiet cyan registration mark.
empty-state — A faint single subject silhouette in low-opacity graphite hairlines with a dashed erasure outline on warm bone e-paper, sparse calibration ticks, soft and quiet.
illustration — A subject drawn as a graphite schematic plate with fine hairline contour lines, nested annotation linework, labeled cross-section cuts, calibration ticks and leader lines on warm bone e-paper, full-frame, one restrained cyan registration bracket, no drawn border.

Do
  • · Apply the graphite-hairline schematic-plate treatment to any subject full-frame, edge to edge on warm bone off-white e-paper.
  • · Build the subject from fine graphite contour lines, nested annotation linework, leader-line callouts and calibration tick bands as if it were a printed instrument manual.
  • · Keep the single cyan registration bracket semantic — one focus point only — against the otherwise monochrome graphite plate.
  • · Let cross-section cuts, ruler ticks and rotated coordinate tags carry the structure so the subject reads as measured, not decorated.
Don't
  • · Never render the medium itself (no picture of paper, a pencil, a scanner, or a frame).
  • · Never add neon, glow, cyberpunk gradients, rainbow accents or matrix-rain motifs.
  • · Never let the cyan spread into more than one quiet registration mark, and never let graphite go muddy or grey-washed.
  • · Never include text, numbers, logos, drawn decorative borders, full-character anime posters, or empty negative space.
