How We Create & Test These Prompts

Every prompt on Prompt Deck exists because it produced a good image — not because a script generated a page for it. This page explains the pipeline behind the site: where prompts come from, how they’re tested, who decides what gets published, and exactly where we use AI (and disclose it).

1. Prompts are written, not scraped

Our prompts are written in-house — by Murugan Kand a small team of contributors — the way a photographer would brief a shoot: subject, setting, lighting, lens, mood, format. Many include technical guard-rails we’ve developed through testing, like identity-lock instructions that keep an uploaded face faithful, anti-blend clauses for couple photos, and safe-area rules for vertical status designs. We don’t copy prompt lists from other sites.

2. Every prompt is actually run

A prompt only qualifies for the gallery after it has been run against real reference photos and produced the image you see on its page. The example image on every prompt page is a genuine output of that exact prompt — not a stock photo, and not an illustration of roughly what you might get.

3. A person reviews and grades everything

Generated results go through a human evaluation step: each image is reviewed, graded for quality, and either approved, sent back for rework, or rejected. Only approved work is published. Prompts that consistently underperform get rewritten or retired. Nothing moves from the pipeline to the public gallery automatically.

4. Where we use AI — and say so

  • The example imagesare AI-generated by definition — that’s the product — and are labelled as AI-generated across the site.
  • Short editorial noteson prompt pages (the summary and quick tips) are drafted with AI assistance from the prompt’s actual content, then reviewed by a person before publishing.
  • Guides and roundup articles on the blog are written and edited by us. Where drafting tools assist, a person fact-checks, rewrites, and signs the result — the byline is a real, accountable person.

5. What we don’t publish

  • Prompts we haven’t tested, or whose example image came from a different prompt.
  • Prompts designed to impersonate real people or substitute celebrity likenesses.
  • Explicit, hateful, or deceptive imagery — the gallery is for celebration imagery people share with family.
  • Auto-generated pages with no human review — every page you can reach has been looked at by a person.
