Instrument Genealogy Board (Luthier's Legacy)
A complex prompt template for generating a visual 'luthier's legacy board' or instrument genealogy chart, inspired by the Firefly aesthetic. It requires three distinct sections: historical precedents (daguerreotype style), an exploded view of the subject instrument with technical annotations (workshop amber style), and the instrument in a performance context (concert hall chiaroscuro style), complete with a title block.

The Prompt
A luthier's legacy board for {argument name="instrument" default="[INSTRUMENT]"} — {argument name="maker" default="[MAKER / SCHOOL / PERIOD]"}. Left section: historical precedents and influences, showing ancestor instruments with lineage lines connecting them, maker's marks, and period photographs. Center section: the subject instrument in exploded view, every component separated and floating, wood species identified, varnish layers shown in cross-section, acoustic properties annotated with frequency response curves and tap tone locations. Right section: the instrument in performance context, musician's hands in motion, concert hall ambiance, sound made visible through subtle waveform overlay. Visual style transitions from aged daguerreotype through workshop amber to concert hall chiaroscuro. Title block reading "{argument name="instrument name" default="[INSTRUMENT NAME]"} — [MAKER], [CITY], [YEAR], OPUS [NUMBER]".
