## 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 video

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

Use thick, slightly uneven contours around flat color shapes, reserving finer scratch marks for facial hair and small prop details. Keep the environment sparse and lower-contrast so expressive eyes, hands, and a distinctive prop silhouette carry the scene. For a new subject, replace the hat stack and bathroom objects with a different visual gag and setting while preserving the clear full-body staging and restrained palette.

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 video frames, not by the creator.

Flat, bold-outlined cartoon of a person wearing a pale yellow cowboy hat, red shirt, dark green trousers, and white shoes, against a simple shop-like backdrop.

- Color: Bright light-green background, with red, dark teal, pale yellow, pink, and white accents.
- Type: Simple 2D vector-style illustration with solid fills and thick black outlines; no prominent in-scene text.
- Framing: The character is centered in each panel, shown full-length. A large round mirror and small shelves with containers occupy the right side; short horizontal lines decorate the green wall.
- Structure: A contact sheet of nine similarly framed illustrations arranged in three rows and three columns with white gutters.
