## 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.

## Prompt

```text
"Handcrafted stop-motion claymation inspired by classic films: visible fingerprints, sculpted clay textures, hand-painted surfaces, miniature practical sets, subtle frame jitter. All characters are clay with exaggerated squash-and-stretch. Warm cinematic lighting, colorful sets, expressive faces, whimsical comedic timing.

Shot 1 – wide: a stout clay woman laughs on a grassy hill at sunset, holding an oversized homemade flamethrower. A huge friendly dragon sits in front, curious. Mini set: sculpted grass, painted mountains, cottony clouds.
Shot 2 – medium: she fires. Stylized clay flames (orange/yellow/red) flicker frame by frame as she cackles.
Shot 3 – dragon close-up: eyes closed, blissful grin, leaning into the heat; tiny clay smoke from its nostrils.
Shot 4 – woman close-up: cheeks wobble, goggles bounce, flamethrower rattles as flames dance.
Shot 5 – dragon reaction: it rolls and stretches like a sleepy cat, sighs happily, then smiles at her for more.
Shot 6 – quick cuts: flames, delighted dragon, her laughter, mechanical clay details, harmless clay embers.
Shot 7 – hero wide: she sweeps playful arcs upward; the dragon turns to warm different sides. Sunset glow, tiny clay birds overhead, landscape gently sways.
Final: the flamethrower puffs out. The dragon grins and blows a small heart-shaped puff of smoke. They share a satisfied laugh as the camera pulls back over the miniature scene.

Premium practical stop-motion: tactile materials, shallow depth of field, no cgi, no text, no logos."
