# Gold particles trace a cycle of life

> Luminous particles depict a human figure, a mound of earth, a tree, birdlike shapes, the globe, a spiral and a curled infant against black, forming a wordless meditation on death and renewal.

## 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.

## What it looks like

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

Minimalist, contemplative imagery made from tiny glowing particles, suggesting transformation and cycles of life.

- Color: Predominantly black, with warm gold and ivory particles and occasional cool white-blue specks.
- Type: Particle-based digital animation with soft luminous edges and sparse, star-like points.
- Framing: Isolated forms sit against large areas of black; the central imagery is simple and clearly silhouetted.
- Structure: The visible sequence moves from a standing figure to a low mound and branching tree, then a globe, followed by increasingly concentrated curled human forms.
