Negative constraints: Before generating from any recipe, check the relevant artifact categories in ../shared/negative-constraints.md. Action recipes → Body/Motion; Horror → Content Filter/Safety; Character-focused → Face/Identity.

Identity vs. Motion: For recipes involving Soul ID characters, split the output into Identity Block + Motion Block. See higgsfield-prompt and higgsfield-soul for the rule and examples.
