This is the complete prompt exactly as the creator published it. ## 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 These are the creator's published instructions, unedited. ## Prompt ```text I want you to build an educational cartoon that is artistic, visually stunning, creative, and educational at the same time. Watching this video should feel like something new. A new way to learn. Memorable. Exceptional. I want to learn the history of light - as it was studied, and by whom. The debates. Wave. Particle. Both. Neither. Take us through the history of light and educate us on the current understanding at that time, what people believed, who dissented, how long people thought that way? Cover about the experiments. Cover the particle/wave duality in depth. I want you to generate the music and voices. Use 3.8 flash tts and use a slow distinguished english accent from 100 years ago. Work in a loop until you have achieved excellence. You may call as many subagents as needed; however, only use opus 5.5 on high reasoning when writing any code, or writing any of the story, nothing else should be used for those but opus 5.5. Take your time, you have as many tokens as you need. i want this to spark curiosity in all who watch. ``` ## What it looks like Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator. Stylized science illustration combining historical optics imagery with diagrams of light waves and stars. - Color: Deep navy and teal backgrounds with pale cyan and white lines, plus occasional warm yellow light. - Type: Small, understated sans-serif labels and captions accompany the illustrations. - Framing: Simple, high-contrast diagrams and silhouettes set against dark backgrounds, with luminous lines and points drawing attention to the subject. - Structure: Alternates between historical laboratory illustrations, labeled optical setups, and sparse diagrams of waves, particles, and stars.
