## 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.

Frame a compact chapter index inside a thin translucent border over a full-bleed artwork, using the surrounding figures to direct attention inward. Contrast those dense scenes with cream sections that pair oversized calligraphic initials, serif explanations, and small bold utility labels. Layer interface panels at different scales with selective blur, soft shadows, and saturated accent objects to create depth. For a new subject, replace the historical figures, commerce props, chapter names, and interface examples with imagery and demonstrations specific to that subject while retaining the contrast between spectacle and editorial clarity.

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.

An editorial Shopify showcase blending Renaissance-inspired imagery with clean product and workflow interface examples.

- Color: Muted sage, cream, charcoal, and deep navy, with vivid pink, purple, and blue accents.
- Type: Elegant serif display headings paired with restrained sans-serif interface text.
- Framing: A collage of page sections: dramatic illustrated hero panels alongside spacious, pale layouts with floating interface cards and ample whitespace.
- Structure: A slim preview header sits above branded page content. The visible sections include an illustrated hero, feature headings and descriptions, UI mockups, and lower workflow cards.
