## 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.

For another scientific collection, pair an aggregate point-cloud view with a plot that uses specimen images as data marks. Keep the background dark and controls visually quiet so the distribution remains dominant. Add a compact inspection panel that connects a selected mark to its image and measurements.

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 scientific interface displaying colorful galaxy-density plots and clusters of luminous data points.

- Color: Near-black and navy backgrounds with cyan, blue, white, yellow, orange, and red plot highlights.
- Type: Compact, small sans-serif interface labels and controls; most text is too small to read.
- Framing: Plot areas dominate the screens, with slim toolbars and side controls around them. Some views show diagonal color gradients or curved boundaries; others show scattered, grid-like points.
- Structure: Multiple interface views present different plot styles, including continuous density fields, curved data regions, and sparse-to-dense point distributions.
