> A brushstroke-rendered singer with a long coat and wired microphone appears against a brick arch, vivid pop-art panels, red stage curtains and swirling night skies, ending in a gallery-like setting.

## 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
Recreate Rick Astley’s unmistakable dance as an HTML animation about one minute long, made from bold, moving brushstrokes and synced to music. His coat, microphone, and shadows should swing with exaggerated rhythm. Make it a piece of art: artistic, beautiful, polished and incredibly fun and approximately 1m long. Draw everything in code, including the music; no external media or website UI.
```

## What it looks like

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

A cartoon-like man in a tan suit dances in colorful, theatrical scenes, including a nightclub and a swirling, starry landscape.

- Color: Vivid magenta, teal, yellow, and orange contrast with deep navy and black; the night-sky scene uses layered blues and gold accents.
- Type: Flat, stylized vector illustration with bold silhouettes, simple shapes, and a few textured, painterly backgrounds.
- Framing: The dancer is generally the focal point, set against graphic backdrops, stage curtains, or a framed landscape.
- Structure: Illustrated scenes vary from a dark club and bright color-blocked panels to a lit stage and a starry-night painting, ending on the framed artwork.
