ClickUp Guide to Negative Prompts

How to Use ClickUp to Master Stable Diffusion Negative Prompts

Using ClickUp alongside Stable Diffusion is a powerful way to plan, document, and refine negative prompts so your AI art comes out clean, consistent, and on-brand every time.

This how-to guide is based on the Stable Diffusion negative prompts techniques explained in the original article at ClickUp’s blog. Here, you will learn how to turn that knowledge into a repeatable workflow managed entirely in ClickUp.

What Negative Prompts Are and Why ClickUp Helps

Negative prompts tell Stable Diffusion what you do not want in the final image. They remove unwanted styles, artifacts, or details so you get better results with less trial and error.

Examples of what negative prompts can remove include:

  • Extra limbs, fingers, or distorted faces
  • Watermarks, text, and logos
  • Unwanted art styles or camera angles
  • Low resolution, blur, or noise

ClickUp is ideal for managing this process because it lets you organize prompt libraries, version your ideas, and collaborate with designers, marketers, or developers in one workspace.

Set Up a ClickUp Space for Prompt Experiments

Start by creating a dedicated area in ClickUp to keep all your Stable Diffusion work structured and searchable.

Create a ClickUp Space

  1. Create a new Space named something like “AI Image Generation” or “Stable Diffusion Lab.”
  2. Choose a simple workflow (To Do, In Progress, Done) so your team can track experiments.
  3. Enable Docs, Tasks, and Custom Fields so you can store prompt details and outcomes.

Build a List for Negative Prompt Testing

  1. Inside your new Space, create a List called “Negative Prompt Library.”
  2. Use this List to capture each testing session or prompt idea as a ClickUp task.

Add useful Custom Fields (all managed inside ClickUp) such as:

  • Model/Checkpoint (e.g., SD 1.5, SDXL variant)
  • Sampler and Steps
  • CFG Scale
  • Resolution
  • Use Case (product, character, concept art, etc.)

Create a ClickUp Task Template for Stable Diffusion

A task template in ClickUp will help you and your team capture every detail about positive and negative prompts consistently.

Design the Task Structure

  1. Create a new task named “Stable Diffusion Prompt Template.”
  2. Add standard sections to the description, such as:
  • Goal – What you want to generate
  • Positive Prompt
  • Negative Prompt
  • Model & Settings
  • Best Output Links / Files
  • Notes & Learnings

You can format the task description inside ClickUp like this:

  • Goal: High-quality character portrait for marketing banner
  • Positive Prompt: Detailed description of what you want
  • Negative Prompt: List of all elements to exclude
  • Settings: Model, sampler, steps, CFG scale

Once this is set, save the task as a ClickUp task template so you can reuse it for every experiment.

Document Your Core Negative Prompt Library in ClickUp

Based on the original Stable Diffusion negative prompt guide, you can build a reusable library of terms in a ClickUp Doc and link it to your template.

Typical categories to track in the Doc include:

  • Quality filters – “low quality, worst quality, blurry, pixelated”
  • Anatomy fixes – “extra limbs, extra fingers, deformed hands, mutated hands, distorted face”
  • Style blockers – unwanted art styles, genres, or lighting types
  • Artifact cleansers – “watermark, logo, text, artifacts”

Keep this Doc inside the same ClickUp Space and attach it to your template task so anyone can reference or copy-paste from the library.

Step-by-Step Workflow in ClickUp for Negative Prompts

Here is a structured workflow you can follow inside ClickUp every time you run a new Stable Diffusion project.

Step 1: Plan the Image Goal in ClickUp

  1. Create a new task from your Stable Diffusion template.
  2. Write a clear Goal in the description (e.g., “Product hero image for landing page”).
  3. Add any brand or style constraints in the task comments or description.

Step 2: Draft Positive and Negative Prompts

  1. Inside the task, write your positive prompt based on the desired subject, style, and composition.
  2. From your ClickUp Doc library, select relevant negative terms to avoid:
  • Technical issues (low resolution, blur)
  • Anatomy errors (extra fingers, distorted limbs)
  • Brand conflicts (other logos, watermarks, text)
  • Unwanted art directions (wrong genre or medium)

Paste these into the Negative Prompt section of your task and edit them to match the project.

Step 3: Run Images and Attach Outputs to ClickUp

  1. Generate images in your Stable Diffusion interface using the prompts you documented in ClickUp.
  2. Export the best outputs and upload them to the related ClickUp task as attachments.
  3. Use task comments to annotate what worked and what did not for each batch.

Step 4: Refine Negative Prompts and Version Them

  1. When you change your negative prompts, update the description to show the latest version.
  2. Optionally, add a Checklist within ClickUp with items like “Test anatomy fixes,” “Test style blockers,” and “Test artifact filters.”
  3. Mark checklist items done as you validate that each group of negative terms improves the image.

The history of comments, attachments, and edits in ClickUp gives you an audit trail of which prompts produced the best images.

Organize Prompt Knowledge in ClickUp Docs

Beyond individual tasks, you can use ClickUp Docs to maintain a living knowledge base of Stable Diffusion practices based on the negative prompts article.

Build a ClickUp Prompt Playbook

Create a central Doc titled “Stable Diffusion Prompt Playbook” with sections like:

  • Core Concepts – Overview of positive vs. negative prompts
  • Prompt Patterns – Reusable sentence structures and examples
  • Negative Prompt Categories – Anatomy, quality, artifacts, style, composition
  • Before/After Examples – Screenshots linked back to relevant tasks in ClickUp

Embed task links, Lists, or views directly inside the Doc so team members can jump between reference material and active work.

Collaborate and Review AI Art in ClickUp

Once your prompts and processes are set, collaboration features in ClickUp make review cycles straightforward.

Use ClickUp Comments and Assignments

  • @mention designers, marketers, or product owners for feedback on generated images.
  • Assign comments to specific teammates when you need them to refine prompts.
  • Use statuses like “Needs More Samples,” “Awaiting Review,” and “Approved” to track prompt iterations.

Create ClickUp Views for Different Roles

Set up multiple views on your negative prompt List in ClickUp, such as:

  • Board View – Visual pipeline of prompt experiments
  • Table View – Spreadsheet-like overview of models, settings, and results
  • Gallery View – Thumbnail previews of attachments for quick image browsing

Connect ClickUp With Your Broader Workflow

To keep everything aligned, integrate your Stable Diffusion and prompt research work in ClickUp with other tools and processes.

  • Link prompts to content or campaign tasks so creative assets match written copy.
  • Use ClickUp Goals to track how many “production-ready” prompts or image sets you complete each month.
  • Store final prompt sets in a dedicated Folder so they can be reused across teams and projects.

If you need expert help designing scalable AI content systems around these processes, you can work with specialists such as Consultevo while keeping all project tracking and documentation in ClickUp.
