Triage a screenshot in Gemini: name toggles, do not invent a tutorial

Describe a settings path in words and the model invents a tidy menu. Gemini can see a shot and will still complete buttons that are not in the frame.

Write the prompt backwards: admit what is on the image, ask which control might matter, and ban a full tutorial unless every step is visible.

Three attachments, one turn

If it says “click the gear” and there is no gear, reply “not in the image, stop.” Faster than following a ghost tutorial.

1. One window. Do not collage.
2. Controls you already used, in your words.
3. The state you expected, e.g. “save keeps the old value.”

You read the numbers

Versions, ports, error codes — your eyes win. Asking it to guess blur is text hallucination again.

If Workspace access is on, redacted customer data on the screenshot is still your policy.
