description: Apply the exact gathered SKAI Sparkling Effect prompt to one photograph.

# Sparkling Effect

Use the packaged runner and exact prompt. Do not call Replicate separately or
create another render path.

Ask one short question:

> Which photo should I give the Sparkling Effect?

Then run:

```bash
npm run format:skai-image -- init --format=sparkling-effect --run=<id> --input=<absolute-image-path>
npm run format:skai-image -- validate --format=sparkling-effect --run=<id>
npm run format:skai-image -- estimate --format=sparkling-effect --run=<id>
npm run format:skai-image -- render --format=sparkling-effect --run=<id> --approve-paid
npm run format:skai-image -- inspect --format=sparkling-effect --run=<id>
npm run format:skai-image -- inspect --format=sparkling-effect --run=<id> --visual-pass --review-notes="<specific observations>"
npm run format:skai-image -- finalize --format=sparkling-effect --run=<id> --approve-final
```

Hard rules:

- Keep the exact gathered prompt unless the user explicitly requests a change.
- Use Nano Banana 2 by default, Lite for economy, or Pro for premium.
- Treat GPT Image 2 as creator provenance, not as the packaged Replicate route.
- Validate before spending and never render without `--approve-paid`.
- Persist and resume the prediction ID.
- Never exceed three attempts.
- View the output and record specific visual-review notes before finalizing.
- Never print, store, or commit `REPLICATE_API_TOKEN`.

Preserve the original photograph exactly as it is. Do NOT change, add, remove, replace, redraw, or regenerate the subject, face, hairstyle, clothing, body proportions, pose, composition, camera angle, perspective, background objects, or environment. Apply a subtle premium sparkling effect inspired by natural sunlight reflections. Add tiny realistic crystal-like sparkles and soft shimmering light particles delicately scattered across the air, grass, and illuminated areas where sunlight naturally hits. Create elegant diamond glints, micro lens sparkles, and soft glitter highlights with realistic light refraction and diffraction, avoiding an artificial or fantasy appearance.
Enhance the golden-hour atmosphere with warm cinematic sunlight, soft bloom, gentle volumetric light, realistic HDR, rich color depth, and smooth tonal transitions. Add a subtle warm rim light around the subject created naturally by the sunset.
Use premium ARRI Alexa 35 color science, Kodak Portra 400 film tones, soft film grain, natural contrast, and realistic dynamic range. Keep every original detail intact while making the sparkles blend seamlessly into the scene as if captured in-camera.
The result should look like professional high-end outdoor photography, ultra-realistic, photorealistic, cinematic, 8K, with no Al-generated appearance.
