Midjourney

Use the midjourney format. Midjourney reads a prompt as subject first, then style keywords, with parameters at the end.

Placement

Lead with your subject, follow with the style keywords, and keep any --parameters at the very end:

a mountain lake at dawn, <compiled midjourney-format style keywords> --ar 16:9 --v 6

• Subject first. Midjourney weights earlier terms more heavily, so your subject leads.
• Style keywords next. Paste the compiled keywords after the subject.
• Parameters last. Leave --ar, --v, and other flags at the end of the line.

Tips

• The midjourney format is keyword-oriented, matching how Midjourney parses prompts — don’t rewrite it into prose.
• Midjourney’s own --sref and --cref reference a source image; the StyleRef midjourney format is a text spec, so you can version and reuse it and apply the same style in tools that have no image-reference feature.
• To compose subject + style in one call from an agent, use apply_style_to_prompt with target: "midjourney". See Tools reference.

What to expect

Re-running the same subject + style keywords keeps the look consistent across a batch in Midjourney, because every job receives the same explicit style.
