So far I've found this prompt to work well to convert screenshots to Typst code snippets with Gemini 3 Flash.
As with any LLM prompt, there is probably still room for improvement.
I didn't want to include the prompt into the application as I thought that might be too much.
Hopefully this prompt can be included with the repo in a folder, as in this PR.
Otherwise I'm sure we can figure some other way to let people know about this prompt if they also use Typst.
