Best use case
stable-diffusion is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Stable Diffusion image generation models. Use for image AI.
Teams using stable-diffusion should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Stable Diffusion Stable Diffusion (by Stability AI) is the open standard for image generation. SD 3.5 (2025) improves prompt adherence and typography. ## When to Use - **Control**: You need exact composition control (ControlNet). - **Local Generation**: Run on your own GPU. No censorship/cost. - **Fine-Tuning**: training LoRAs on your own face/product. ## Core Concepts ### Diffusers Library The Hugging Face library to run SD pipelines in Python. ### LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) Small adapter files (100MB) that add a style or character to the base model. ### ComfyUI The node-based GUI for building complex SD workflows (see separate skill). ## Best Practices (2025) **Do**: - **Use SD 3.5 Large**: For best text rendering. - **Use Flux**: The community has largely moved to **Flux.1** (Black Forest Labs) alongside SD. - **Use ControlNet**: To force the image to follow a specific pose or edge map. **Don't**: - **Don't use SD 1.5**: Unless you need specific legacy LoRAs. SDXL/SD3/Flux are superior. ## References - [Stability AI Models](https://stability.ai/models)
