## 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
A structured 15-second high-intensity action duel with explicit hard cuts. [SHOT 1: 0s-4s] Dissolving smoke on the lantern-lit street reveals the dark warlord unharmed, standing tall as his eyes glow with fierce red energy, raising his black dragon staff. [HARD CUT TO SHOT 2: 4s-8s] Dynamic low-angle tracking shot of the beautiful white-robed female swordswoman sprinting forward at lightning speed across the stone cobblestones, her glowing silver sword leaving a trail of blue light, white silk dress fluttering. [HARD CUT TO SHOT 3: 8s-15s] Intense close-quarters martial arts collision! The female swordswoman leaps and strikes her silver sword violently against the warlord's dragon staff, unleashing a blinding explosion of bright sparks and shockwaves. They rapidly exchange three furious parries—a spin kick, a staff thrust, and a sword slash—ending in a fierce weapon lock-up with intense face-to-face eye contact under floating red lanterns.
