## 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 website

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

Use oversized, rotated letterforms as graphic shapes, cropping them at the viewport edges while keeping chapter navigation on a stable horizontal axis. Contrast that spacious opening with a dense collage of rounded message cards, varied angles, subtle shadows, and small timestamps over a large typographic statement. For a new subject, replace the lettering, documentary imagery, messages, and metadata with subject-specific material, and improve contrast on small labels while ensuring every image loads.

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.

Bold, minimalist editorial design with a bright yellow field, oversized abstract shapes, and a story about Russia and Ukraine.

- Color: Vivid yellow dominates, paired with pale blue gradients, black text, and small photographic images.
- Type: Large, heavy, uppercase sans-serif headlines contrast with tiny navigation labels and compact body text.
- Framing: Wide layouts with generous open space in the introductory section; later frames layer headline text and message-like cards over the yellow background, with small images near the top and edges.
- Structure: A slim navigation runs across the page. The opening section features oversized graphics and a centered title; subsequent sections use image thumbnails, large editorial headlines, overlapping text cards, and explanatory copy.
