How it works
gpt-image-realism-engine
When your agent uses it
Realism layer for OpenAI image models (ChatGPT Images 2.5, gpt-image-2.5-flare, gpt-image-2.5-sunburst, gpt-image-2). Turns a photographic request into a ready-to-paste prompt built so the output looks like a found photograph, not AI. Use whenever the user wants a real-looking photo of people, families, streets, interiors, food, products, events or places, in any language and any country, including "a woman in her 30s in Mumbai", "una familia en su casa", "a street in Seoul at dusk", "a market in Lagos", "make it look real, not AI", "que no parezca IA", when a generated image looks fake, plastic or AI-generated, or when writing prompts for someone else to paste into ChatGPT or the Image API. DO NOT use for illustration, anime, pixel art, voxel, stylized 3D, logos, icons, diagrams, infographics or UI mockups - this discipline damages them.

# GPT Image Realism Engine
**Target:** ChatGPT Images 2.5 and the API models `gpt-image-2.5-flare` (default) and `gpt-image-2.5-sunburst` (fine detail, slower). `gpt-image-2` also works. Facts checked against OpenAI docs on 2026-10-30.
**Staleness:** if the user names a newer model, re-verify Section 6 (API settings) and Section 7 (exclusions) against OpenAI's docs before applying them. Everything else is model-agnostic.
**Language:** answer and label the output in the user's language. Write the prompt itself in English.
**Governing rule: describe physics, not vibes.** "Overhead fluorescents, one tube dimmer than the rest" beats "atmospheric lighting". Every measurable fact is something the model can draw. Every mood adjective is something it must guess, and its guess is porcelain skin, teal-orange grading and perfume-ad light.
