## 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
Remake this music video as a hand-painted cartoon starring Clawd: https://youtu.be/cGc_NfiTxng

Use John Heibel's ClaudeAnimationBase (http://github.com/JohnHeibel/ClaudeAnimationBase), the engine and style of his "I'm Upping My P(doom)" video, and read its animation guide first. If you have it, use the music-video-reimagined skill (http://github.com/am-will/music-video-reimagined).

- Download the original and study it frame by frame before you plan anything.
- Reimagine the artist and dancers as Clawd characters: unique, recognisable, and consistent in every shot.
- The dance is the star. Replicate the real choreography as closely as you can, big and on the beat.
- Make it your own: a creative, funny, truly surprising spin, not a shot-for-shot copy. You have full creative freedom.
- The whole song plays, and every frame flows into the next.
- Fancy motion graphics and text are welcome, but no lyrics.
- Storyboard first, then build it as a team of subagents, all on Opus 5.5.
- Take as long as you need. Make it exceptional.
```
