## 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.

Stylized New York cityscape with a prominent bridge and buildings reflected on the water.

- Color: Sunset peach and mauve fading into deep indigo and navy, with muted gray-blue buildings and warm window lights.
- Type: Elegant, thin serif lettering for the “New York” title; small supporting text is visible but not legible.
- Framing: Layered skyline across the horizon, with the bridge dominating the right side and reflections filling the lower portion.
- Structure: Geometric buildings of varied heights form a dense skyline; bridge towers and cables frame the right, above a horizontal waterfront.
