Turn a fuzzy ask ("make it look cool") into a **specific, model-shaped prompt** that the user's own image or
video tool can actually execute well. This skill **only writes the prompt** — the user's connected media tool
generates from it; capx generates nothing. It's the shared quality engine `image-director` and `video-director`
call. The idea + medium: "$ARGUMENTS"
Follow these steps:
1. **Read the intent and the medium.** From "$ARGUMENTS": what's the subject, what's it *for* (a launch, a
TIL, a product), image or video, and the target model if named. If the medium isn't clear, ask.
2. **Extract the visual spec.** Name the levers explicitly — vague prompts get vague output:
- **Subject** — the concrete thing, and what it's doing.
- **Composition & framing** — shot type, angle, focal point, aspect ratio (X: 16:9 / 1:1 / 9:16).
- **Style** — photoreal / illustration / 3D / diagram; reference an era or medium, not a living artist.
- **Light & mood** — lighting direction, palette, tone.
- **For video also:** the opening beat (first second), camera motion, pacing, and duration.
- **Negatives** — what to exclude (text artifacts, extra fingers, watermarks, clutter).
3. **Write the prompt to the model's shape.** Different models want different phrasing (natural-language vs
tag-weighted vs structured). If the target model is known, format for it; otherwise give a clean
natural-language prompt plus a short negative list. Keep it tight — precise beats lo
