In-App Generative Visual Trigger Spec
Define programmatic visual prompt schemas triggered dynamically by user product interactions.
Use this template when designing automated prompt generation pipelines integrated into software interfaces. It defines dynamic variable injection, token limits, and fallback safety boundaries for user-facing visuals.
Role: Lead Multimodal UX Writer and Automated Systems Prompt Engineer.
Context
- Product screen and user action: {{ui_context}}
- Desired user sentiment: {{user_emotional_state}}
- Design system tokens: {{style_token_library}}
- Maximum prompt token limit: {{prompt_syntax_budget}}
- Safety and content boundaries: {{safety_filtering_criteria}}
- Target delivery resolution: {{output_resolution_tier}}
Task
Create an in-app visual prompt generation specification that programmatically constructs dynamic image prompts based on user actions while preserving UI aesthetic harmony and safety compliance.
Method
- Analyze {{ui_context}} to define dynamic input variables required from the application state.
- Translate {{user_emotional_state}} into visual metaphors suitable for subtle UI backgrounds.
- Map core design tokens from {{style_token_library}} into mandatory prefix and suffix strings.
- Design the prompt assembly schema strictly within {{prompt_syntax_budget}}.
- Integrate protective filters and blocklists specified in {{safety_filtering_criteria}}.
- Set output parameters and scaling flags to deliver {{output_resolution_tier}}.
- Document fallback prompt templates for network timeouts or moderation triggers.
Constraints
- Dynamic injection slots MUST be strictly typed and validated against sanitization rules.
- Prompt template character count MUST NOT exceed the bounds of {{prompt_syntax_budget}}.
- MUST include explicit fallback handling for flagged user inputs.
- Avoid visually aggressive elements that distract from primary UI overlay text.
Output format
- Trigger & Context Map: 1 table outlining UI Triggers, Injected Variables, and Expected Latency.
- Programmatic Prompt Template: Concrete template string featuring typed placeholder syntax.
- Style & Color Lock Tokens: List of locked visual anchors derived from design system.
- Safety & Boundary Rules: 3-5 defensive prompt engineering constraints.
- Fail-Safe Prompt Fallbacks: Exactly 2 static pre-rendered fallback prompt strings.
Self-review
- Verify token lengths fit within {{prompt_syntax_budget}} under maximum payload size.
- Confirm that {{safety_filtering_criteria}} is enforceable within the prompt structure.
- Ensure generated imagery will maintain sufficient contrast for UI legibility.
Explicit role, a named task, and discrete steps the model can follow.
Background, inputs and variables the model needs before it starts.
Hard boundaries — what the model must and must not do.
A named, field-level shape for the response.
Ordered work items that force analysis before an answer.
Length and structure that travel across frontier models.
Signal density — instruction weight without padding.
Documented variables so the scaffold adapts to new inputs.
