System Exploded Views

Technical system views on blueprint paper: one machine drawn as white line art with labelled parts.

$9.99once, yours to keep

Makes technical system exploded views as one finished PNG for a post, lesson, slide or poster: white technical line drawings on engineering blue with condensed labels. The drawings come from a picture model and every word is set in real type on top, so labels are always spelled right. Best as one machine drawn large with labelled parts; other layouts work too. Needs a FAL_KEY or a Cloudflare Workers AI key; about $0.01 to $0.02 a drawing. Use when someone wants a technical diagram of a machine or system, an exploded or cutaway view of a vehicle, or a blueprint-style labelled drawing.

About this skill

Make a technical diagram of how a heat pump water heater works

It said back

I've made the diagram: hpwh/explainer.png (3200×2000).

It's a single blueprint-style cutaway of the water heater with six labelled parts. Read in this order, they follow the refrigerant loop:

Questions

Is System Exploded Views free?

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode.

What do I get when I buy System Exploded Views?

A ZIP of the whole skill folder (25 KB): the SKILL.md your agent follows and its 5 other files, the references, templates and scripts it uses. You download it from this page whenever you need it, and install it in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode. The Recaply plan opens it too, with every other premium skill and prompt.

How do I install System Exploded Views?

Buy it, then download the ZIP from this page. For Claude Code, unzip it into .claude/skills/ in your project. For Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI, unzip it and run npx skills add ./system-exploded-view with your agent's flag.

What do I get from System Exploded Views?

One explainer picture, with every label set in real type. Drawn as white technical line drawings on engineering blue with condensed labels. Labels spelled exactly; the model never draws words.

What does System Exploded Views need?

Node 20+, Chrome and a fal or Cloudflare Workers AI key (it reads FAL_KEY). Each use costs about $0.01 to $0.02 a drawing.

How big is System Exploded Views?

6 files, about 15,255 tokens in all. The SKILL.md is about 2,244 tokens, and your agent reads it only when the job fits.

What does a run cost?

Our 1 runs took 59 s to 59 s and $0.29 to $0.29 of API use each, in Claude Code with claude-opus-5-5. On a Claude plan, a run counts toward your usage instead.

Do I have to name System Exploded Views to use it?

Type /system-exploded-view first to make sure it loads. Without it, Claude Code may judge a small job simple enough to do without the skill.
