Prompt generator tier lists? Nah, better off building your own template library.

I’ve tried all those prompt generator rankings, honestly the more I used them the more confused I got. The prompts they spit out look professional with all those fancy adjectives, but you have no clue which word is actually doing anything, and when the image comes out wrong you can’t debug it.

Eventually I just built my own template library: organized by subject—portraits, scenes, products each have their own skeleton, with slots for subject, style, lens, lighting, and quality that I can swap out, every single word verified by me to actually work. Using my own library to generate images, the results are reproducible, and when I tweak something I know exactly what I’m doing.

Third-party generators are fine for inspiration, but if you want consistent output, you need your own set of templates where you can explain why every word is there.

So many fancy adjectives but no clue which one actually does anything, debugging this is a pain in the ass.

I’ve been using that self-built skeleton slot setup too, feels way more confident when tweaking things.

Using third-party generators for inspiration is fine, but for consistent output you gotta rely on prompts you’ve tested yourself.

The reproducibility part is the most valuable thing—I’m literally keeping track of what every single word does now.
