Most image prompts fail the same way: you describe the subject, then argue with the model about camera angle, lighting, and style for ten more messages.
These are slash codes for the look — not the subject. Paste one next to whatever you're generating and stop rewriting the same paragraph.
100 codes. Grouped by what they control. Use the code on its own when the meaning is obvious, or keep the short gloss next to it when you want the model to lock the intent.

How I use them
Pick the category that matches the job (camera, ad, UI, lighting), grab one code, and put it next to the subject:
`/ProductShot /SoftDaylight matte black water bottle on a concrete counter`
Stack two when you need both style and camera. Don't stack five — the model starts averaging them into mush.
I use these when I'm making product visuals — see Insidr live.
