## 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

These are the creator's published instructions, unedited.

## Prompt

```text
The prompt was pretty much me just asking for a video about Claude’s brain caged up and connected to chats.
```

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

A dark, surreal digital world combines a small screen-like device with eye motifs, tangled red organic forms, and a chat interface. Grid-like bars enclose or intersect the forms, suggesting a connection between the imagery and online conversation.

- Color: Predominantly black and deep charcoal, with crimson and magenta-red forms, muted gray grid lines, and small cream, gold, and pale-blue eye details.
- Type: Stylized 2D digital illustration with flat shapes, dark outlines, and simplified interface graphics.
- Framing: The artwork alternates between centered screen-like devices against black, close views of red forms studded with eyes behind vertical bars, and a dark chat window with small, dim text.
- Structure: Visuals include concentric red rings around a small device, enclosed clusters of eye-covered forms, close-ups of individual eyes, a larger red oval containing an eye-like central shape, and screen and chat-interface imagery.
