## 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
“Extreme macro shot of woven cotton shirt fabric, empty at first. Colored embroidery threads rise from the surface and weave themselves into place, laying down tight satin stitches row by row, tracing out a detailed [LANDMARK] in its country flag colors. The stitched area grows steadily across the frame, thread pulling taut and raising into dimensional embroidered texture, colors and defining features building up stitch by stitch until the full landmark is complete and clearly recognizable. Camera holds steady, slow satisfying timelapse pace. Soft natural side light, shallow depth of field, visible fabric fibers and realistic thread sheen. No hands, thread moves on its own. One shot no scene change. 5 second video. 16:9 dimension.”
```

## What it looks like

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

Colorful landmark motifs rendered in textured embroidery on pale fabric.

- Color: Royal blue, white, and red on the tower; green, white, and red on the amphitheater; gold, yellow, and red on the ornate cathedral.
- Type: Thread embroidery with dense stitched outlines and raised-looking strands.
- Framing: Three landmark designs are shown separately: a tall tower above, a broad arcaded structure in the middle, and an elaborate pointed-roof building below.
- Structure: The designs use stitched architectural outlines and repeated windows and arches; loose thread ends are visible around some motifs.
