{
"title": "{argument name="story title" default="The Lighthouse Keeper"}",
"image_description": "A solitary lighthouse stands on a jagged cliff surrounded by a violent ocean storm. Towering waves crash against the rocks below. Lightning tears through dark clouds, briefly illuminating the ancient stone structure. Inside the lighthouse, an elderly keeper slowly climbs a spiral staircase carrying an old lantern. The walls are covered with faded photographs, letters and newspaper clippings spanning decades. Every ship route in the world was abandoned more than fifty years ago. No vessels pass here anymore. Yet every night, without fail, the keeper climbs to the top and turns on the light.",

The prompt is specific where it counts — it locks in a named focal length, a fixed camera angle and a structured JSON body, so re-running it — or handing it to a teammate — lands in the same place instead of drifting. Keep those clauses and rewrite the subject to make it your own.
