MCP Media Engine_
// PROMPT LIBRARY

Prompts you can run in your own agent.

Every entry on this page is a verbatim prompt you can paste into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Hermes — backed by MCP Media Engine. Each one shows the model, the credit cost, the surfaces it works in, and (where available) a verified MED job ID for the example image.

House style — pick one, then LOCK

The art pillar rotation needs one signature house style repeated across every pure-style post. Three candidates below, each generated via MCP Media Engine Default Image. The founder picks one; the daily routine (MED-1193) inherits the lock and the renderer (MED-1190) picks up the palette tokens.

A misty mountain ridge rendered as ASCII-art inside an old green-phosphor CRT terminal, glowing phosphor-green and deep black, monospace composition.

Phosphor terminal

MED's phosphor-green terminal framing fused with high-craft generated imagery — distinctive, on-brand, retrocomputing. This is the reference-triangle skaigenerated spirit translated to MED's existing visual language.
