This prompt directs the AI to generate an ultra-realistic, movie-poster style cinematic portrait of a rugged young man in a smoky, ember-filled environment, using dramatic low-key lighting with warm firelight and cool shadows, shallow depth of field, volumetric haze, and high-detail facial texture. The result is a high-resolution, high-contrast image with sharp subject focus, floating particles, and a dark atmospheric background that conveys a serious, introspective mood.

## What it does
This prompt directs the AI to generate an ultra-realistic, movie-poster style cinematic portrait of a rugged young man in a smoky, ember-filled environment, using dramatic low-key lighting with warm firelight and cool shadows, shallow depth of field, volumetric haze, and high-detail facial texture. The result is a high-resolution, high-contrast image with sharp subject focus, floating particles, and a dark atmospheric background that conveys a serious, introspective mood.

## Inputs
### Models and options
This skill's modality is: **`image`**.
To discover which `model` values you can use (and which `options` keys/values are valid for each model), run:
```bash
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
```
Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where `modality` is `"image"`.
## How to run
### Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run `betterprompt resources --models-only --json` and filter to `modality: "image"` to discover valid models and available options:
```bash
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
```
Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.
Then collect all inputs from the human:
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model **`gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview`** and its available options. Look up `gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview` in the `betterprompt resources` output (filtered to modality `"image"`) and show its `availableOptions` as: `key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: ...`. Mark a value `(default)` if it matches these defaults: `{"aspectRatio":"1:1"}`.
- If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model `gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview`, options `{"aspectRatio":"1:1"}`. Other models from the resources call are also available.
### Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's `name` as the positional argument (for this skill, use `dramatic-cinematic-portrait-of-a-rugged-young-man`).
Command form:
```bash
betterprompt generate dramatic-cinematic-portrait-of-a-rugged-young-man \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
```
Notes:
- If the human does **not** mention a model, **omit** `--model` and BetterPrompt will use the default model: **`gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview`**.
- If the human does **not** mention options, **omit** `--options` and BetterPrompt will use the default options: **`{"aspectRatio":"1:1"}`**.
- If the run times out, the response will include a `runId` you can use to fetch the result later.
Example (using defaults shown above):
```bash
betterprompt generate dramatic-cinematic-portrait-of-a-rugged-young-man \
--model gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview \
--options '{"aspectRatio":"1:1"}'
```
