## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Recreating this deck

This is a visual reference. No original creator prompt is available. The following brief was written by Reference after inspecting the work.

Build an editorial slide system with charcoal and cream backgrounds, high-contrast serif headings, and a single warm accent reserved for key values and conclusions. Reduce charts to fine rules, endpoint dots, direct labels, and generous empty space, pairing each diagram with a short interpretation. Alternate two-column analytical slides with a lighter, oversized-number summary slide; replace the social-content examples with the new subject’s metrics and redraw diagrams to suit their units and relationships.

1. Open the live work or source and inspect the frame images below.
2. Adapt its layout, hierarchy, palette, and interaction patterns to the user's own content and brand.
3. Compare the result against the reference. Use your own assets and credit the original creator.

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the captured walkthrough frames, not by the creator.

Editorial infographic style using Chinese text, concise explanations, charts, and highlighted statistics.

- Color: Charcoal and near-black backgrounds contrasted with cream, muted gold, and soft gray.
- Type: Chinese sans-serif typography; large, restrained headings with smaller labels and body text, plus gold-accented numerals.
- Framing: Clean, information-dense layouts combining charts or timelines with explanatory text and prominent callouts.
- Structure: A sequence of explanatory slides covering a time-based comparison, a three-part concept with percentages, a favorites-versus-likes comparison, and a time-window method.
