The prompt
{
"title": "Shadows of the Blue Note",
"description": "A tense, high-stakes meeting between a weary detective and a glamorous informant in a smoky 1950s jazz lounge.",
"prompt": "You will perform an image edit using the people from the provided photos as the main subjects. Preserve their core likeness. Transform Subject 1 (male) and Subject 2 (female) into characters from a classic 1950s film noir. Subject 1 is a rugged private investigator, and Subject 2 is an elegant femme fatale. They are seated at a secluded booth in a dimly lit, smoke-filled jazz club. The image must be ultra-photorealistic, utilizing cinematic lighting to create deep shadows and highlights. The scene should look like a frame from a high-budget blockbuster movie, shot on Arri Alexa, highly detailed, with a shallow depth of field focusing on their intense interaction.",

Which AI model works best
Claude Opus 4 and Sonnet 4.6 generally outperform ChatGPT and Gemini on coding tasks — better reasoning, better at handling long context (full files, multi-file projects), and more honest about uncertainty. ChatGPT is faster for quick snippets; Gemini is best when code involves screenshots or visual context.
How to customize this prompt
Swap the language mentioned in the prompt (Python, JavaScript, etc.) for whichever stack you're on. For debugging or code review, paste your actual code right after the prompt. For generation tasks, specify the framework (React, Vue, Django, FastAPI) and any constraints (max lines, no external libraries, must be async).
Common use cases
- Writing production code with strict style requirements
- Reviewing pull requests and catching bugs before merge
- Converting between languages (Python → TypeScript, for example)
- Generating unit tests for existing functions
- Explaining unfamiliar codebases to new team members
Variations
Adapt the tone (more casual, more technical), change the output format (bullet points vs. paragraphs), or add constraints (word limits, target audience).
