Advanced Prompting Syntax

Invoke supports the advanced 'compel' prompting syntax, a popular open-source syntax that originated in the Invoke project!

Upweight (+)

Description: The positive modifier (+) can be used in a prompt to increase the focus or attention on a specific term. By adding '+' next to a term, you're signaling the importance of this aspect in the response, encouraging more emphasis on it.

Syntax: term+

Example: "landscape painting, trees++" - This prompt would encourage a focus on trees in the landscape painting.

Note: Alternatively, you can include the specific amount you'd like to upweight a term as a number following parenthesis - such as "landscape painting, (trees)1.2" - Each + multiplies the weight of that term by 1.1

Downweight (-)

Description: The negative modifier (-) can be used in a prompt to decrease the attention or focus on a specific term. By adding '-' next to a term, you're suggesting less emphasis on this aspect in the response.

Syntax: term-

Example: "urban photography, people-" - This prompt would introduce the concept of "people" into the composition, but encourage less significant focus on them.

Note: Alternatively, you can include the specific amount you'd like to downweight a term as a number following parenthesis - such as "urban photography, (people)0.8". Each - multiplies the weight of that term by 0.9.

Blends

Description: The blend feature is used to merge the meaning of two or more prompts together, in order to modify the model's understanding of what you are asking for. Please note - This is not the same as adding prompts together. Instead, this feature is best used to blend in stylistic components.

Syntax: ("prompt 1", "prompt 2").blend(1,1)

Example: ("landscape painting, trees++", "sunset scene, warm tones++").blend(1,1) - This would result in a landscape painting focused on trees and a sunset scene with warm tones, giving equal importance to both prompts.
