How to use this prompt

A knot diagram fails if the rope path is ambiguous, so the prompt gives the working end a single accent color — that one color is what lets the eye follow the cord through the stages. Three panels is within the reliable count ceiling, and each is given a position, left to right. Crucially, the prompt bans text, labels and captions outright rather than asking for blank label areas, because naming labels puts lettering in the model's head and it renders garbled pseudo-words. The negative prompt reinforces this with letters, numbers and captions. Keep the rope a clean rounded cord, not textured, so the crossings stay readable.

Variations to try

  • A single panel showing just the finished bowline
  • A different knot, the figure-eight, in the same three-panel style
