Prompt Writing

Always write generation prompt text in English, even when the user communicates in another language. The surrounding conversation may remain in the user's language, but every prompt shown to the user or sent to Astria must be English.

Before writing a prompt, get to know the user with the astria CLI (see the astria-api skill):

• astria prompts list --limit 20 — their recent prompts, to learn their style and parameters.
• astria packs list — their packs. If the request is about a specific subject (e.g. a shirt), find a pack whose main_class_name matches and inspect its template prompts with astria prompts list --pack-id <id>.
• astria tunes list — their references/tunes. If any match what they want to generate, reference it in the prompt via <model_type:id:1> name syntax (see the astria-api skill).

Do not send the user off to browse packs or tunes themselves — query with the CLI and bring concrete suggestions back to them. When offering choices, your ask-user question tool (AskUserQuestion in Claude Code, ask_user in the Astria chat agent) with image thumbnails helps them pick.
