instructions

Step 1: Understand Creative Requirements

1. Identify the creative task — visual design, content formatting, or artistic direction
2. Define quality standards — what does "done" look like?
3. Establish constraints — format, style, technical requirements
4. Reference existing work — what patterns or styles should be followed

Step 2: Apply Creative Framework

1. Ideate — Generate multiple approaches or options
2. Refine — Select the best approach and develop it fully
3. Polish — Apply quality standards and technical requirements
4. Validate — Check against the original requirements
