# How to turn a one-line question into a clickable machine cutaway with anatomy

Repo: [wheresryan22/anatomy](https://github.com/wheresryan22/anatomy) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: Seen in the wild

Ask your agent how an engine or lock works and get an interactive isometric figure you can hover, click and pull apart.

**Who it is for:** Curious learner or teacher who wants to see how a real machine works after reading a trending post

**The problem:** Text explanations of engines, locks and other mechanisms are hard to picture.

**The outcome:** A standalone interactive HTML page showing the machine in cutaway, with parts you can inspect and a live readout.

## Steps

1. Install the skill: npx skills add wheresryan22/anatomy -g -a claude-code
2. Open Claude Code in an empty folder.
3. Run: /anatomy explain how a door lock works, interactive
4. Open the generated HTML page in your browser and hover or click the parts.

## Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Use the anatomy skill from wheresryan22/anatomy to build an interactive isometric figure explaining how <machine, e.g. a turbofan engine> works. Save it as a standalone HTML page, then check that hovering a part updates the live readout.
```

## Caveat

Long runs are reported, so expect around half an hour for a detailed figure, and the model's idea of how the machine works is not an engineering reference.
