Exploded View

name: exploded-view
description: This prompt instructs an AI to act as a technical illustrator and produce a photorealistic, high-resolution exploded view diagram of a specified object, using provided color accents and a component list. The result is a proportionally accurate, correctly oriented visualization in which every relevant internal and external part (including small fasteners and connectors) is separated but precisely aligned to show assembly relationships, organized with clear labeling or hierarchy on a neutral studio background, while avoiding invented components, branding, and clutter.

## What it does

This prompt instructs an AI to act as a technical illustrator and produce a photorealistic, high-resolution exploded view diagram of a specified object, using provided color accents and a component list. The result is a proportionally accurate, correctly oriented visualization in which every relevant internal and external part (including small fasteners and connectors) is separated but precisely aligned to show assembly relationships, organized with clear labeling or hierarchy on a neutral studio background, while avoiding invented components, branding, and clutter.

## Inputs


### textInputs

Pass each text input using `--input <key>=<value>` flags.

| Variable key | Required? | Description | Defaults |
| --- | ---: | --- | --- |
| `object` | Optional | The item to be illustrated | `DSLR camera` |
| `color_accents` | Optional | Highlight or maintain brand/style colors | `red accents` |
| `component_list` | Optional | Specific parts to show | `lens` |



### imageInputs

This prompt requires **exactly 1 image**. You **must pass exactly 1 image flag** (no more, no fewer), in the order matching the descriptions below.

| Index | Required | Description | Allowed CLI flags |
| ---: | ---: | --- | --- |
| 1 | Yes | Reference image of item that you want to generate | `--image-input-url <url>` or `--image-input-path <path>` |


### Models and options

This skill's modality is: **`image`**.

To discover which `model` values you can use (and which `options` keys/values are valid for each model), run:

```bash
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
```

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where `modality` is `"image"`.

## How to run

### Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run `betterprompt resources --models-only --json` and filter to `modality: "image"` to discover valid models and available options:

```bash
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
```

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

- Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
    - `object` (default: `DSLR camera`)
  - `color_accents` (default: `red accents`)
  - `component_list` (default: `lens`)
- Required images:
  - **Exactly 1** images: image 1 (Reference image of item that you want to generate). Images must be provided in this order.
- Optional: model and options.
  - Present the human with the default model **`gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview`** and its available options. Look up `gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview` in the `betterprompt resources` output (filtered to modality `"image"`) and show its `availableOptions` as: `key: val1, val2 (default), val3  |  key2: ...`. Mark a value `(default)` if it matches these defaults: `{}`.
  - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model `gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview`, options `{}`. Other models from the resources call are also available.

If the required images are missing, **ask the human for what's missing**. Do not assume or fabricate values. Tell the human: **"Please provide images in this order: image 1 (Reference image of item that you want to generate)"**.

### Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's `name` as the positional argument (for this skill, use `exploded-view`).

Command form:

```bash
betterprompt generate exploded-view \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--image-input-url <url>] \
  [--image-input-path <path>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]
```

Notes:

- Pass each text input as a separate `--input <key>=<value>` flag.
- Pass each image using `--image-input-url` or `--image-input-path`, in the order matching the imageInputs descriptions (image 1 first, then image 2, etc.).
- If the human does **not** mention a model, **omit** `--model` and BetterPrompt will use the default model: **`gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview`**.
- If the human does **not** mention options, **omit** `--options` and BetterPrompt will use the default options: **`{}`**.
- If the run times out, the response will include a `runId` you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

```bash
betterprompt generate exploded-view \
  --input 'object=DSLR camera' \
  --input 'color_accents=red accents' \
  --input component_list=lens \
  --image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
  --model gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview \
  --options '{}'
```
