## 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.

Adapt this dashboard to compare two operating models for another business. Give each role a simple pixel mascot and reuse its accent color in the staffing diagram and charts. Pair a workflow board with a time-allocation donut and revenue breakdown, while enlarging the key labels to reduce reading density.

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.

Dark analytics dashboard illustrating an AI agent replacing 25 engineers, with payroll savings, ticket metrics, and other business figures.

- Color: Near-black and charcoal backgrounds with neon cyan, teal, magenta, green, yellow, and blue accents.
- Type: Small, bold sans-serif headings and labels, with compact numerical readouts and code-like text.
- Framing: A headline and agent icons sit above rows of metrics, charts, and data panels.
- Structure: Dense, grid-based dashboard made of bordered sections, including a top overview, middle ticket and pie-chart panels, and lower financial charts and summaries.
