    "[CORE] Tell one clear product process from left to right or top to bottom using three or four sequential panels; physical change between stages must be visible.",
    "[CORE] Use a distinct unbranded trainer: pearl-bone knit upper, open heel cage, brushed-titanium floating arch bridge, one continuous smoked-ceramic rocker with three long carved channels and a smooth integrated forefoot.",
    "[CORE] Make the process legible with side views, cross-sections, material macros, understated arrows and consistent stage spacing; prioritize explanation over a heroic portrait.",
    "[CORE] Premium material realism: individual knit fibers, brushed titanium grain, satin ceramic, soft stone and accurate contact shadows under sculptural studio light.",
    "[CORE] Keep typography exceptionally sparse and small: only hairline step numbers and short process labels, aligned to panel edges; no large display title or decorative headline.",
    "[CORE] Use obsidian, warm bone, brushed titanium and pearl gray; glacial-cyan appears only as a fine directional mark or state-change highlight.",
    "[FLEX] Vary stage sequence and panel geometry by process while keeping the footwear construction, material palette and micro-label scale consistent.",
    "[FLEX] Compose portrait and landscape independently so the stages remain legible and in correct order; never solve one ratio by cropping the other."

  "visual_deconstruction": {
    "source": "The references use modular image panels, athletic action, product macros, high contrast and motion. Extract their editorial sequencing and image rhythm, then redirect the design toward process explanation and original footwear construction.",
    "hierarchy": "Sequential process imagery leads: contact, deformation and recovery; material transitions; or component assembly. Small stage numbers and labels support the sequence. Product construction stays original."

  "composition": {
    "principle": "A premium process board with three or four sequential frames, alternating full shoe, cross-section and tactile material macro. Use clean gutters, fine connectors and enough space around each transformation.",
    "adaptation": "Portrait stacks stages vertically with a clear numbered path; landscape flows horizontally with stages connected across the frame. Both formats reserve a large, quiet product detail panel."

  "typography": {
    "form": "Very small neutral grotesk or monospaced step numbers and short labels only, such as LOAD, FLEX, RELEASE. Hairline rules and tiny unit marks may support them.",

    "frame": "Warm bone, pearl gray, obsidian and brushed titanium; restrained glacial-cyan accent limited to subtle arrows or state-change cues.",

    "texture": "Tactile high-end product photography with knit fibers, satin titanium grain, smoked ceramic, smooth composite channels and clean shadow detail.",
    "light": "Controlled studio or gallery light with premium soft falloff; small glints reveal material transitions without glowing effects."
  },
  "design_rules": [
    "Every board must read as a process with an ordered start, transformation and result.",
    "Keep the distinct open heel, titanium bridge and continuous channeled rocker consistent in all cases.",
    "Show state change in the product or material across at least three panels.",
    "Use only tiny step numbers and short process labels; never add oversized headline text.",
    "Build premium texture and spacing through photography, lighting and layout rather than typography or decoration."

  "do": [
    "Show the same product at comparable angles when depicting before, during and after states.",
    "Use one or two restrained arrows or fine connectors to clarify process direction.",
    "Make the product's material and structural changes visible at macro scale."

  "avoid": [
    "Hero portraits that occupy most of the board while the process is hidden.",
    "Large headlines, large slogans, chunky numbers, crowded labels or fake paragraphs.",
    "Copied reference shoe, repeated round sole pods, red outsole, brand marks or loud neon."

  "negative_prompt": "No large typography, oversized headline, decorative slogan, dense paragraphs, copied source shoe, repeated circular pods, bright-red outsole, logos, swooshes, trademarks, exact reference collage, giant athlete portrait, crowded HUD, glowing sci-fi circuits, loud neon, malformed anatomy, duplicate shoes, unreadable process order, inaccurate cutaway, plasticky knit, low-resolution texture.",

No title, slogan, or large typography.\nProcess direction: {DESIGN_DIRECTION}\nShow three or four ordered frames that make the start state, physical transformation and result immediately understandable. Use consistent shoe angles where useful, accurate cross-sections, macro material texture, and one restrained connector between stages. The footwear is an original unbranded design: pearl-bone knit upper, open heel cage, brushed-titanium floating arch bridge, a continuous smoked-ceramic rocker with three long channels, and a smooth integrated forefoot. It must not resemble the source shoe or use separate rounded pods.\nPremium tactile photography, deliberate negative space, disciplined panel gutters, warm bone and obsidian with brushed-metal detail and tiny glacial-cyan process marks. The process itself is the visual hero; keep human presence partial and secondary. Recompose explicitly for the requested aspect ratio. Exclude: {SOURCE_CONTENT_TO_AVOID}.",
