Claude Visible-Repair Resale Description Prompts
A visible repair belongs in a resale description when it is part of the item’s condition. Write what the seller can support rather than converting a repair into an unverified restoration or quality claim.
Make the detail inspectable
Keep the repair location, current photograph and any repairer note together. Describe the visible result neutrally and distinguish the original garment from the later work. Do not state that the item is as new, stronger or professionally restored without evidence.
Claude analyses uploaded images and writes briefs; use a separate image generator to produce raster photographs.

Three notes to keep beside the answer
| Focus | Your source | Next check |
|---|---|---|
| Repair location | The actual garment, listing wording or authorised reference view | Separate original garment and later repair |
| Current condition photograph | Your own observation or the relevant person’s confirmed instructions | List condition photographs needed |
| Documented repair history | A documented answer; keep an unverified detail explicitly open | Use repairer notes without embellishment |
A worked editorial example
A cardigan has a contrasting stitched patch near one cuff. The seller can describe and photograph that repair without inventing its age, method or expected remaining life.
This is a hypothetical example to show the decision process, not a measured garment test, customer outcome or comparison between AI models. Replace its circumstances with your actual sources. Keep the source record even if you decide not to use the assistant’s proposal.
Eight copyable Claude prompts
Choose the step that answers your current question. Replace the bracketed fields with your own information and run the prompts separately. The assistant should explain a missing detail rather than filling it in. Review the result against the original source before using it in a purchase, repair or public listing.
1. Separate original garment and later repair
Separate original garment and later repair. For describe a visible repair, focus on repair location. Use the supplied listing, source photos and documented notes [paste or attach authorised sources]. Separate original garment facts, later changes and unknowns. Keep the exact wording behind each claim in a private working table. Do not turn a plausible appearance or a seller adjective into a verified construction, fibre or condition fact.
2. Write a neutral location description
Write a neutral location description. For describe a visible repair, focus on current condition photograph. Write a concise factual paragraph from these records [paste]. Make the relevant garment area or component easy to identify. Keep the original terminology alongside a plain-language explanation when helpful. Exclude claims about quality, strength, origin or performance unless the supplied record supports them. Return the paragraph with its unresolved details listed separately.
3. List condition photographs needed
List condition photographs needed. For describe a visible repair, focus on documented repair history. Make a source request from the missing evidence [paste]. Specify the actual area, component or wording that needs clarification, with a reason the editor can understand. Request an ordinary source photograph or confirmed written detail where needed. Do not create an invented documentary image to make the product record appear complete.
4. Use repairer notes without embellishment
Use repairer notes without embellishment. For describe a visible repair, focus on repair location. Turn these documented notes [paste] into a reader-facing explanation and a separate editor checklist. Attribute only the work or facts actually recorded. Keep uncertainties visible and do not add a repair history, material composition, package piece or measurement that the source does not establish. Preserve any required approved attribution supplied with the records.
5. Remove as-new and strength claims
Remove as-new and strength claims. For describe a visible repair, focus on current condition photograph. Audit this proposed copy [paste]. Identify each unsupported or misleading statement and point to the missing source. Write an accurate replacement that still helps the reader decide what to ask or inspect. Keep the factual description distinct from optional styling advice. Do not promise a product benefit from the appearance of an editorial concept.
6. Draft accurate search metadata
Draft accurate search metadata. For describe a visible repair, focus on documented repair history. Draft a unique search title, a concise description and a short excerpt using only these verified facts [paste]. Use the specific task wording naturally. Avoid keyword stuffing, invented popularity, as-new claims or promises about search rankings. Ensure that a reader can tell which garment detail the page actually explains before clicking.
7. Check the photo and copy agree
Check the photo and copy agree. For describe a visible repair, focus on repair location. Compare the proposed words [paste] with the actual documentary images and supplied specifications [attach]. Report agrees, differs or cannot assess for the relevant claims. Give the visible or written reason. Keep a discrepancy unresolved until an editor confirms it; do not treat the generated cover as a substitute for the product evidence.
8. Prepare the final condition note
Prepare the final condition note. For describe a visible repair, focus on current condition photograph. Prepare the final factual note using the approved corrections [paste]. Include the useful description, the source-backed package or condition statement and the exact next question still open. Keep internal correspondence out of public copy. End with an editor check that the published words, actual photographs and selected product record refer to the same item.
Use the result without losing the useful detail
For describe a visible repair, bring the final answer back to repair location. A recommendation that skips current condition photograph has not answered the whole question. Keep documented repair history in the decision or production note. When the answer depends on an absent source, ask for that source or leave the question open. More confident wording does not replace a clearer record.
Frequently asked questions
What if I cannot verify repair location?
Keep it unresolved and request the relevant source view, written detail or real-garment observation. You can still use the supported parts of the plan. Do not turn the editorial cover or an imagined example into evidence about a real item.
How do I adapt this for readers in another country?
State the actual occasion, language, local terminology and units. Preserve the source wording beside an explanation where needed. Do not assume climate, dress rules or preferences from nationality. Account features and product availability can differ; check the source and service you will actually use.
