Context is the background you hand the AI so it can answer for your situation, not a generic one. This guide explains why context matters so much, what kinds are worth giving, audience, purpose, examples, and limits, and how it helps keep the AI honest.

Your prompt
I want to create an image with an AI image generator, and I'd like your help writing a detailed prompt for it. Here's my rough idea: a fox reading a book in a cosy library I'm picturing a photorealistic style, with a warm and inviting mood. For the framing, I'd like a balanced, well-framed shot. Please turn this into one polished, detailed image prompt I can copy straight into an image generator. Describe the subject, setting, lighting, colours, and style clearly. Then give me two or three short variations I could try instead.
Tips
Image generators respond well to concrete, visual words, so a prompt that names the lighting and colours will beat a vague one every time. If a result is close but not quite right, change one thing at a time, such as the lighting or the angle, rather than rewriting the whole prompt, so you can see what each change does.
What a good result looks like
One detailed, copy-ready image prompt describing the subject, setting, lighting, colours, and style, followed by two or three short variations to experiment with.
