## 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 this approach to another historical or scientific subject by pairing each chapter with one short serif statement and one recognizable diagram. Keep dates and citations in a consistent marginal system, and reserve red or gold for the key phrase. Alternate parchment and dark backgrounds to distinguish contrasting chapters while preserving the same layout.

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.

Editorial infographic slides about Indian history, with large statements paired with simple diagrams, charts, and names.

- Color: Warm ivory backgrounds with deep red and charcoal typography; one dark navy slide with a small amber accent.
- Type: Large uppercase serif display lettering, paired with small, restrained sans-serif labels and captions.
- Framing: Asymmetrical layouts balance prominent text on the left with diagrams or compact information on the right, leaving generous open space.
- Structure: A sequence of self-contained title and data cards, including architectural and geometric diagrams, a plotted chart, and historical figures with dates.
