Your prompt is a spec, and a good spec is the whole game
A prompt acts as a specification that defines quality criteria for AI outputs. By clearly articulating 5-10 defining characteristics of what makes something good (whether a garment, photo, or illustration), you provide the AI with the same level of detail a human creator would need to produce excellent results.
