If you stage, sky-swap, or twilight a photo, you owe a disclosure — a 'Virtually Staged' watermark on the image, a line in the remarks, and in California (AB 723, effective Jan 1 2026) access to the unaltered original. The hard part is that the rule branches by state, so the prompt has to carry the logic: California owes the originals clause now, Wisconsin from 2027, everyone else the best-practice version. The skill is the constraint list plus that branch — what the line must include, what it must never claim, and how it changes by state. You want the compliant line, not the clever one.
Write the disclosure language for a listing with 3 virtually staged rooms and a day-to-dusk exterior edit: one remarks line, a photo caption, and a note to keep originals. Say what's required, oversell nothing.
2 · Your turn — you write the prompt
You virtually staged three empty rooms and did a day-to-dusk edit on the exterior. You need the disclosure language for the MLS remarks and the photo captions before you publish. Write a prompt that produces compliant disclosure text, states what's required, and never oversells the edits.
