The prompt
{
"title": "Terminal Drift",
"description": "A haunting visualization of a lone traveler stuck in an infinite, empty airport terminal that defies logic.",
"prompt": "You will perform an image edit using the person from the provided photo as the main subject. Preserve her core likeness. Transform Subject 1 (female) into a solitary figure standing in an endless, windowless airport terminal. The surrounding space is a repetitive hallway of beige walls, low ceilings, and patterned carpet. There are no exits, only the endless stretch of artificial lighting and empty waiting chairs. The composition should adhere to a cinematic 1:1 aspect ratio.",

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).
