## 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 the idea to another small still life, such as a pear beside a lantern, using a dark ground and a tightly limited warm palette. Build recognizable forms from coarse, ridged marks before adding selective highlights. Present the finished image as a thick panel on a simple wood surface so the painted texture and object-like framing reinforce each other.

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.

A tall ivory candle glows above a small red-and-orange form on a dark surface.

- Color: Deep brown and near-black surround warm amber, ochre, cream, and touches of red.
- Type: Painterly oil-like artwork with loose, visible brushstrokes.
- Framing: The candle sits near the center, its bright flame surrounded by a broad amber halo; the red-orange form rests low to one side.
- Structure: A dark rectangular painted field contains the candle and low horizontal surface, with the flame and candle forming the main vertical axis.
