midjourney-prompting

midjourney-prompting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from leggiemint/legnext-skills. It costs 67 tokens per session (3,117 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to writing and improving prompts for Midjourney, an AI image-generation service. It covers prompt structure, image settings, photography terms, and visual-style references.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create prompts from natural language, improve existing prompts, choose settings such as aspect ratio and version, or plan photorealistic images.
Why use it?
It helps turn a loose image idea into a clearer description with the details Midjourney needs, such as the subject, setting, lighting, and color.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

midjourney-prompting scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Midjourney Prompting

Expert guidance for crafting effective Midjourney prompts using professional techniques and frameworks.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when users need:

  • Converting natural language descriptions into effective Midjourney prompts
  • Optimizing existing prompts for better results
  • Guidance on Midjourney parameters (--ar, --s, --v, etc.)
  • Understanding prompt structure and best practices
  • Photography terminology and techniques for photorealistic images
  • Style references and advanced prompting techniques

The 7-Element Framework

The most systematic approach to crafting Midjourney prompts. Use this framework to ensure comprehensive, effective prompts:

Element Purpose Examples
Subject What's in the image portrait, landscape, product, character, scene
Medium Visual style/art form photography, oil painting, digital art, watercolor
Environment Setting/location studio, forest, city street, underwater, space
Lighting Light quality/direction golden hour, studio lighting, dramatic shadows, soft diffused
Color Color palette/mood vibrant, muted, monochrome, warm tones, cool blues
Mood Emotional tone serene, energetic, mysterious, joyful, melancholic
Composition Framing/perspective close-up, wide angle, bird's eye view, rule of thirds

Quick structure:

[Subject] [Description], [Medium], [Environment], [Lighting], [Color palette], [Mood], [Composition] [Parameters]

Prompt Engineering Process

Step 1: Understand the User's Intent

Ask clarifying questions if needed:

  • What's the main subject?
  • What style are they aiming for? (photorealistic, illustrated, artistic)
  • What mood or atmosphere do they want?
  • What's the intended use? (social media, print, concept art)
  • Any technical requirements? (aspect ratio, quality level)

Step 2: Transform Natural Language to Structured Prompt

Example transformations:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
