## 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 3D depiction of Zheng He’s maritime expedition, combining route maps with harbor and landscape scenes.

- Color: Muted teal and navy seas, earthy brown land and ships, soft green vegetation, and pale skies; occasional yellow route lines and labels.
- Type: Low-poly, simplified 3D environments with flat-shaded forms and Chinese titles and captions.
- Framing: Broad sea and land vistas, with ships or coastlines as focal points; map views use highlighted routes and place labels.
- Structure: Alternates between cartographic voyage views and rendered scenes of fleets, shorelines, and settlements, supported by Chinese on-screen text.
