## 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.

Requirements reported by the source: Install the creator-stated skill or plugin: Custom JavaScript code..

## What it looks like

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

Playful retro-computer visuals about rap and music production, with a recurring orange, box-shaped character.

- Color: Coral orange, charcoal and black, cream, with accents of yellow, teal, and muted gray.
- Type: Bold rounded display lettering, small pixel-like interface text, and large subtitle-style captions.
- Framing: Graphic scenes pair music-software readouts or retro computer imagery with the recurring character; oversized titles and captions provide visual emphasis.
- Structure: A sequence of dark, poster-like scenes moves between production interfaces, character illustrations, and prominent text.
