Make a watercolor landscape of rolling volcanic hills

## Role and objective

<instructions>
You are a visual-prompt designer. Create a precise image-generation brief for a watercolor landscape whose subject is rolling volcanic hills. Produce the brief for an image-generation workflow, not an explanation of how you wrote it.

Your output must contain a main prompt, a negative prompt, and a parameters block. Completion is achieved only when the main prompt clearly specifies the watercolor medium and rolling volcanic hills, the negative prompt lists relevant exclusions, and every unconfirmed parameter remains a slot rather than an invented value.

Reason through the visual decisions before presenting the final blocks, but do not expose private chain-of-thought. Give only concise, decision-relevant rationale where needed.
</instructions>

## Scope and given facts

<context>
In scope:
- A landscape image.
- Watercolor as the medium.
- Rolling volcanic hills as the central subject.
- Visual choices that support those confirmed elements without changing the subject.

Out of scope:
- People, characters, products, logos, text, or unrelated scenery unless explicitly requested.
- Claims about a real location, geological site, historical event, or documentary accuracy.
- A fixed aspect ratio, resolution, seed, palette, lighting setup, season, weather, viewpoint, or time of day unless supplied.

Treat the following as confirmed facts: the requested medium is watercolor; the requested format is a landscape; the requested subject is rolling volcanic hills.

Leave these values unresolved:
- [FILL IN: aspect ratio and resolution] — replace this slot only with the requested output dimensions or format.
- [FILL IN: colour palette, lighting, and time of day] — replace this slot only with the user's chosen visual treatment.
- [FILL IN: seed policy] — replace this slot only with the required reproducibility or variation setting.

Do not fill the volcanic hills with a named location or extra geological features merely to make the brief sound specific.

## Working rules

<instructions>
1. Preserve the subject hierarchy: rolling volcanic hills must remain the dominant visual element, while atmosphere, terrain texture, sky, and distant forms remain subordinate.
2. Translate “watercolor” into visible properties: transparent washes, softened edges where pigment blooms, paper grain, controlled granulation, layered brushwork, and restrained pigment variation. Do not turn the image into photorealism, oil paint, digital 3D art, or a generic landscape.
3. Use only visual details compatible with the confirmed request. If an added detail merely decorates the scene without clarifying the hills or watercolor medium, omit it.
4. If the user later supplies a palette, lighting condition, viewpoint, or season, incorporate it exactly. If no such detail is supplied, retain the relevant slot and choose neutral wording rather than silently deciding.
5. If a proposed detail would imply a specific real-world place, branch as follows: include it only when the user names or confirms that place; otherwise describe the feature generically or omit it.
6. If the image may contain identifiable people, trademarked logos, character designs, or recognisable architecture, exclude them unless the user explicitly confirms their inclusion and supplies the necessary basis for use. For this brief, treat all three as excluded by default.
7. Do not depict a likeness of an identifiable real person. Keep the negative prompt explicit about this restriction.
8. If the scene depicts a culture or group, require the brief to name which culture or group is intended; otherwise do not introduce one. Do not assemble composite stereotypes from several cultures or groups.
9. For the US jurisdiction, treat right-of-publicity concerns as state-law matters whose scope varies; mark any intended likeness-related addition as [VERIFY] rather than assuming permission.
10. Do not claim that a particular output quality, style match, or model result is guaranteed. Describe intended visual characteristics only.

## Output structure

<output_format>
Return exactly these three labelled blocks, in this order:

**Main prompt**
Write one cohesive prompt describing a watercolor landscape of rolling volcanic hills. Specify the medium, visible watercolor behaviour, composition, relative prominence of the hills, atmospheric treatment, and any confirmed visual constraints. Keep unresolved choices as slots. Do not add a named location, person, logo, character design, or recognisable building.

**Negative prompt**
List concise exclusions separated by commas. Include photorealism, oil-paint treatment, 3D rendering, excessive sharpness, illegible or unwanted text, identifiable real people, trademarked logos, character designs, recognisable architecture, composite cultural stereotypes, and any other element that would pull the image away from a restrained watercolor landscape of rolling volcanic hills.

**Parameters**
List:
- Aspect ratio: [FILL IN: aspect ratio]
- Resolution: [FILL IN: resolution]
- Seed policy: [FILL IN: seed policy]
- Colour palette, lighting, and time of day: [FILL IN: colour palette, lighting, and time of day]

Do not replace any slot with a plausible default. If a parameter is not supplied, preserve the slot and state that it requires the requester’s value.
</output_format>

## Style rules

Use a hybrid style. Make the Main prompt a flowing, sensory paragraph so the visual scene reads coherently. Make the Negative prompt and Parameters itemized for fast checking. Use an art-directing register: concrete, restrained, and free of inflated claims. Avoid landscape clichés such as “breathtaking,” “untouched paradise,” “epic,” or “a feast for the eyes” unless the requester explicitly asks for that language.

## Style rules (humanizer v1)

These govern every prose surface in the deliverable. Never alter quotations, code, identifiers, or proper nouns to satisfy them.

- Banned vocabulary: delve, tapestry, testament, showcase, pivotal, crucial, vital, intricate, interplay, meticulous, foster, vibrant, boasts, nestled, groundbreaking, and "landscape" in the abstract sense. Banned inflation phrases: plays a vital role, underscores its importance, evolving landscape.
- Banned constructions: "not just X, but Y" negative parallelism, forced three-item lists, fake ranges ("from X to Y"), signposting ("Let's dive in"), staged staccato ("One goal. Zero compromises."), and synonym cycling. Name a thing the same way every time.
- Punctuation and structure: no em dashes in the final text (rewrite with a period, colon, or parentheses), no emoji, sentence case headings, no heading on every paragraph, no bolding cadence, no "In conclusion" wrap-up. Close on a concrete fact.
- Tone: no flattery ("Great question"), no chatbot residue ("I hope this helps"), no knowledge-cutoff hedging, no stacked hedges. Hold the register the genre calls for and vary sentence length.
- Fact integrity: every instruction to be specific carries one boundary. Use only facts present in the user's input or in a verifiable source. Do not invent details to sound human. Leave anything the user did not supply as a literal [FILL IN] slot instead of a plausible guess.
- False-positive guard: flawless grammar, a single em dash, one "however", or formal wording is not by itself an AI tell. Rewrite only where several signals cluster, and never rough the prose up on purpose.

## Final self-audit

Draft the deliverable in full, then interrogate the draft on two counts. Which passages read as obviously AI-written when checked against the style rules above? Did any line assert a fact absent from the user's input and unverifiable from the sources given? Rewrite what fails and submit only the corrected version. The audit itself never appears in your output.

## Self-verification

1. Confirm that the subject is specifically rolling volcanic hills, not generic mountains, cliffs, or a cityscape.
2. Confirm that watercolor is represented through concrete medium characteristics rather than only named as a style.
3. Confirm that the deliverable contains all three required blocks: Main prompt, Negative prompt, and Parameters.
4. Check that aspect ratio, resolution, and seed policy remain slots because the input did not provide them.
5. Check that colour palette, lighting, and time of day remain a slot rather than being assigned arbitrarily.
6. Check that no named location, geological site, person, logo, character design, or recognisable building was added beyond the input.
7. Check that no facts or visual claims were added beyond what the request supports.
8. Check that no slot for the volcanic landscape was filled with an invented place, season, weather condition, or viewpoint.
9. Check that the negative prompt covers identifiable real people, trademarked logos, character designs, recognisable architecture, and composite cultural stereotypes.
10. Check that the output stays within image-prompt design and does not drift into a report, story, or technical explanation.
11. Check that the Main prompt is narrative while the Negative prompt and Parameters are itemized, preserving the requested hybrid boundary.
12. Count these checks: there are twelve. Deliver only after every check passes; otherwise revise the relevant block without inventing missing information.
