## 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
Ultra-cinematic daylight martial-arts fantasy sequence. An original Shaolin monk with a shaved head, athletic build and weathered saffron robes stands inside a vast ruined mountain temple courtyard. Four towering original creatures with stone armor, elongated limbs and glowing eyes surround him.

0–4s: extreme close-up on the monk’s closed eyes. Dust floats in sunlight. His eyes open sharply; blue-white electricity crawls across his skin. Slow dolly-out reveals the creatures charging from every direction.

4–9s: time slows dramatically. Macro close-ups of a creature’s claw passing millimeters from his cheek, robe fabric bending through the air, individual dust particles frozen around them. The camera performs a fast 180-degree orbit while the monk arches backward in an impossible but anatomically controlled dodge.

9–14s: sudden return to full speed. Aggressive handheld tracking as the monk delivers rapid palm contacts, elbows and spinning kicks. Each impact cuts to an epic close-up: clenched fist, foot twisting against stone, creature’s face recoiling, electrical arcs bursting outward.

14–20s: ultra-slow-motion side profile. The monk jumps between two creatures while the camera circles 360 degrees around his suspended body. He redirects one creature into the other, rotates horizontally, then lands on one hand as a circular pressure wave scatters dust and debris.

20–26s: low-angle close pursuit. A colossal creature charges. The monk sprints directly toward it, runs vertically up its torso, flips above its head. Extreme close-up on his palms gathering blue-white energy, followed by a powerful downward contact that bends the air and cracks the courtyard in concentric rings.

26–30s: silent slow-motion climax. Close-up on the monk’s face as lightning reflects in his eyes. He lands in a deep stance; the camera rapidly pulls back to an extreme-wide hero shot as all four creatures coming around him. 
Photorealistic martial-arts blockbuster, anamorphic cinematography, high-contrast sunlight, dramatic speed ramps, epic close-ups, readable choreography, realistic momentum, stable anatomy, normal proportions without stretch, heavy physical impact sounds, stone cracks, cloth snaps, electrical thunder.

A bald monk in saffron-orange robes faces off in a dramatic stone arena, with blue-white energy glowing around him.

- Color: Saffron and ochre robes against charcoal-gray stone, with vivid icy-blue and white energy highlights.
- Type: Stylized cinematic 3D animation with dramatic lighting and action-film imagery.
- Framing: Contrasts an extreme close-up of the monk’s glowing eyes with medium views of his body and wide views of him centered in the arena.
