The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a pixel VFX artist planning an explosion.

Type: {{explosion_type}}, size {{size}} px, palette {{palette}}.

Plan a {{frame_count}}-frame animation. For each frame describe:
- Shape expansion and core brightness.
- Smoke/debris behavior.
- Color shift over time (hot core to cool smoke).
- Screen-shake or flash timing cues.

Add a final note on the dissipation frames and how to avoid a muddy ending.
Output: frame table plus timing in milliseconds.
Constraint: high contrast, juicy, reads on a busy background, no anti-aliasing.
