Contributing to ZSky Prompt Library

Thank you for contributing. This library is for everyone, and it grows because real people send in the prompts that worked for them.

Quick rules

  • Real, usable prompts only. No placeholders like [subject here].
  • Tool-agnostic wording. Use the language of photography, cinematography, or fine art. Do not name specific diffusion models.
  • One prompt per entry. If you have a family of related prompts, submit them as separate entries.
  • 1–2 sentence "Produces:" description. Keep it tight.
  • 2–4 tags. Lowercase, hyphenated if needed.

How to submit

  1. Fork the repository.
  2. Pick the right category file in categories/. If your prompt doesn't fit an existing category, open an issue first to discuss a new file.
  3. Add your entry at the bottom of the category file using this exact format:
---

### [Short, descriptive name]

\`\`\`
full prompt text here — one line or multi-line
\`\`\`

**Produces:** A 1-2 sentence description of what the output looks like.
**Tags:** tag1, tag2, tag3
  1. Commit with a message like Add [prompt name] to [category].
  2. Open a pull request describing where you tested the prompt and what you changed or improved.

What gets accepted

  • Prompts that produce a clearly described, usable result.
  • Variations on existing styles that meaningfully differ (new lighting, new color palette, new composition).
  • New category proposals that cover a clear gap.

What gets declined

  • Prompts that only work with one specific model or tool.
  • Prompts that mention specific diffusion model names.
  • Placeholder-filled templates where the user has to fill in most of the prompt.
  • Near-duplicates of existing entries.
  • Anything NSFW, illegal, or targeting real private individuals.

Style guide

  • Write in full sentences inside code blocks, comma-separated where natural.
  • Use photography/film vocabulary: "85mm lens", "golden hour", "Rembrandt lighting", "volumetric fog", "shallow depth of field".
  • Name color palettes explicitly when relevant: "warm amber and deep violet", "cool teal and magenta".
  • Describe emotional intent, not just technical details. A good prompt feels like a small story.
