## 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
CAMERA: Handheld DV 16mm daily vlog footage. The video MUST begin with her propping the camera against a jar of flour on the kitchen counter, shooting her from a three-quarter angle as she cooks. She picks it up for close-ups of the food, then sets it back. The camera gets flour dust on the lens at one point — she wipes it with her sleeve and keeps going. Keep subtle handheld shake, drifting composition, autofocus hunting, rushed reframing when something sizzles, exposure breathing between the dark counter and the bright stove, and imperfect framing throughout. The camera itself is never visible.

LOOK: Warm kitchen lighting — a single overhead fixture casting yellowish light, the stove adding a bright warm glow on the food. Steam and smoke catch the light. Gentle film grain heavy in the shadows, slightly softened sharpness, subtle halation from the stove flame. Her face is warm and golden. It should feel like authentic footage from someone's everyday life rather than a polished commercial.

STYLE: A comfortable, slightly chaotic cooking vlog. She talks to the camera like a friend is in the room. Small laughs, pauses, fixing her hair, wiping her hands on the apron, tasting and reacting. She makes small mistakes and laughs at herself. She speaks in short, natural sentences with frequent pauses. Never rush dialogue. Leave quiet moments between lines.

CHARACTER: A beautiful woman in her late 20s. Long dark brown hair tied back in a low messy bun with a kitchen towel over her shoulder, warm olive skin, brown eyes, no makeup. She wears a cream-colored linen shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a dark green apron. Flour on her cheek. Natural, relaxed, a little messy.

SETTING: A small home kitchen in the evening. White tile counter, a gas stove with a well-used pan, a cutting board with onions and garlic, a jar of flour, a wooden spoon, a glass of red wine. The overhead light is the only source. A window above the sink shows darkness outside. Intimate and slightly cluttered.

SCENES:

The vlog opens with the camera propped against a flour jar. She chops an onion, eyes watering.
"I don't know why I keep doing this to myself."
She wipes her eye with the back of her wrist. Picks up the camera, holds it close to the cutting board.
"Look. The onion won."
Sets it back. Pours olive oil into the pan. It sizzles loud. She jumps.
She adds the onion. Steam rises into the light. She stirs.
"Okay that smells better."
She sips from a glass of wine. Looks at the camera.
"Don't judge."
She adds garlic. It sizzles harder. She moves the pan off the heat.
"Too hot. Always too hot."
She picks up the camera, selfie mode, flour on her cheek. She hasn't noticed.
"It's going to be fine. Probably."
She tastes from the wooden spoon, winces, then nods.
"Okay. Yeah. It's good."
Flour dust on the lens. She wipes it with her sleeve. A smile. The frame goes dark. Cut.
