+# Science SARU Visual Style Guide for AI Generation
+
+## Studio Philosophy: Balancing Science and Intuition
+
+Science SARU's name encapsulates their approach: **"Science" represents logic, technology, and planning; "SARU" (monkey) embodies creativity, instinct, and playfulness**. Founded in 2013 by director Masaaki Yuasa and producer Eunyoung Choi, the studio revolutionized Japanese animation through "digitally assisted animation"—hand-drawn key frames digitally recreated for in-betweening. This hybrid method enables small teams to produce fluid, expressive work that prioritizes emotional truth over photorealism.
+
+The studio's artistic mission: **take creatively fulfilling challenges that forge new pathways in animation**. They reject fitting into any single category, embracing experimental approaches while maintaining accessibility. Their visual philosophy centers on expressiveness over accuracy, with Yuasa stating "animation should not imitate reality but interpret, exaggerate, or transcend it." This creates the perfect aesthetic for social realism meets artistic expression.
+
+## Core Visual DNA: Technical Characteristics
+
+### Linework Signature
+
+Science SARU's linework deliberately rejects polished perfection. **Loose, organic, variable-thickness lines with sketchy, rough quality** define their aesthetic. Lines breathe and fluctuate with movement, preserving animator personality even through digital processing. While Flash vectorization sometimes creates "unnaturally clean sequences," the studio maintains raw, expressive mark-making where possible.
+
+**For AI prompts**: "loose hand-drawn linework, rough sketchy lines, variable line weight, organic imperfect contours, expressive mark-making, anti-polished aesthetic, visible pencil texture, breathing lines that fluctuate with movement"
+
+### Character Design Principles
+
+Characters feature **simplified, minimalist designs optimized for fluid movement** rather than static beauty. The philosophy: reduce line count to enable characters to move twice as much. Bodies exhibit jelly-limbed elasticity with soft, rounded contours and moderate stylization—grounded enough for emotional connection yet flexible enough for dramatic distortion.
+
+Facial expressions embrace extreme warping—faces stretch, dislocate, and balloon beyond anatomical limits. Blank eyes convey possession or emptiness, while grotesquely beautiful expressions oppose pristine anime standards. This rubber-band movement vocabulary allows bodies to warp with internal emotional states.
+
+**For AI prompts**: "simplified character designs, elastic limbs, moderate stylization, personality-driven designs, minimalist features optimized for animation, jelly-limbed anatomy, soft rounded contours, rubber-band facial expressions, off-model expressiveness for emotion"
+
+### Animation Movement Characteristics
+
+Science SARU achieves **extreme fluidity through Western squash-and-stretch principles rarely used in anime**. Bodies perpetually deform during motion with sinewy, elastic movement. Heavy smear frames create speed effects, while super-deformed in-betweens smooth transitions. The "Devilman Dash"—animalistic four-legged running with hunched posture—exemplifies their kinetic energy.
+
+Camera work stays **extremely dynamic**, with tracking shots that dip, slide, and rise with character action. Perspective-following motion creates dizzying transportive effects. The camera matches character energy, rarely remaining static.
+
+**For AI prompts**: "extreme motion fluidity, bend-and-stretch animation, kinetic sinewy movement, elastic body distortion, heavy smear frames, perpetually deforming motion, dynamic tracking camera matching character movement, smooth sliding ground-level camera, watercolor-flow movement"
+
+## Color Theory and Atmospheric Mastery
+
+### Palette Philosophy
+
+Science SARU employs **flat tints of bold primary colors with limited but impactful palettes**. Rather than gradual realistic shading, they use color blocking with complementary schemes (red/green, blue/orange) for visual contrast. The approach varies dramatically by project tone—high saturation for energetic works, desaturated muted tones for historical or melancholic pieces.
+
+**Temperature coding**: Warm tones signal love, passion, and energy. Cool tones convey conflict, uncertainty, and melancholy. Strategic shifts between color temperatures mark emotional beats.
+
+### Lighting Approaches: Stylized Over Realistic
+
+Lighting prioritizes **dramatic stylization supporting emotional atmosphere**. Deep shadows with stark highlights create high contrast in intense scenes. Naoko Yamada's works add simulated cinematic artifacts—bloom lighting, chromatic aberration on close-ups, light leaks foreshadowing narrative events.
+
+Golden hour/sunset lighting features warm orange-pink gradients with long shadows and backlit silhouettes. These moments aren't photorealistic but use **exaggerated warm tones and simplified shadow shapes** maintaining design coherence while creating nostalgic atmosphere.
+
+**For AI prompts**: "dramatic stylized lighting with deep shadows, bloom lighting effects, warm golden hour gradients, backlit silhouettes, long cast shadows with warm color, nostalgic atmosphere through lighting, simplified shadow shapes"
+
+### Shadow and Texture Treatment
+
+Shadows aren't strictly black—they incorporate **cool tones (blues, purples) for depth or warm tones for sunset scenes**. Complementary colors to the main palette add visual richness. Contrast levels vary: high contrast for supernatural drama (Devilman Crybaby), medium for action pieces, low contrast for elegant historical works (The Heike Story).
+
+Texture comes through **painterly touches rather than film grain**. Inky scroll-painting textures, watercolor rendering, and paper-like surfaces (chiyogami influences) create organic quality. Digital illustration techniques layer gradients and texture mapping while maintaining intentionally "unfinished" aesthetics with irregular geometric shapes reminiscent of collages.
+
+**For AI prompts**: "painterly watercolor texture, inky scroll-painting aesthetic, paper texture overlays, complementary shadow colors, irregular geometric shapes with crafted dimension, deliberately unfinished texture with thick irregular lines"
+
+## Background Art: Environmental Storytelling
+
+### Urban Street Scene Mastery
+
+Science SARU excels at **dense, lived-in urban environments with layered architectural complexity**. Their "phobia of gaps" philosophy creates compositions chockful of information—overlapping buildings, signage, cables, and street furniture. Vibrant saturated palettes convey urban energy while maintaining readability through strategic composition.
+
+Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! demonstrates their urban approach: industrial-meets-residential aesthetic, water and canal prominence, mechanical details integrated into the fabric, multi-ethnic visual indicators, and retro-futuristic textures.
+
+**For Indonesian urban streets, Science SARU style would feature**:
+
+**Technical foundation**: Vector-based Adobe Animate with digital painting overlays, flat bold color blocking with gradient transitions, clean linework defining architectural edges, layered composition for parallax depth effects, two-point perspective with dynamic camera capability.
+
+**Visual aesthetic**: Dense information-packed frames avoiding negative space, vibrant saturated tropical palette (warm oranges, yellows, deep greens), simplified geometric architecture with textural overlays, atmospheric haze suggesting heat and humidity, strong light/shadow contrast from tropical sun, wet-surface reflections and puddles, stylized weathering on buildings.
+
+**Environmental elements**: Vertical layering (multi-story shophouses, hanging laundry, signage), street-level density (motorcycles, vendors, pedestrians), tropical vegetation integration (palms, vines, potted plants), prominent infrastructure (power lines, cables, water pipes), cultural specificity (warungs, religious elements, local signage), mixed architectural styles (colonial/modern/informal), mechanical details (motorcycles, generators, fans).
+
+**For AI prompts**: "Dense layered urban composition, overlapping architectural elements and signage, vibrant warm tropical color palette with saturated oranges and yellows, simplified geometric architecture, atmospheric heat haze in distance, strong tropical sunlight creating dramatic shadows, wet reflective surfaces, multi-story shophouses with vertical emphasis, street-level motorcycles and vendors, hanging power lines and cables prominent, tropical palm trees and vegetation, mixed colonial and modern architecture, simplified architectural detail with textural weathering overlays"
+
+### Background Painting Techniques
+
+Backgrounds use **digital-watercolor hybrid aesthetic with flat, stylized color blocking**. Mid-tone key colors establish foundation, then light and dark layers build on top. Photoshop workflow employs complementary and analogous color schemes with blending modes (multiply, overlay, screen) for depth.
+
+Detail hierarchy: foreground receives high detail with clear textures and readable signage; midground shows moderate detail with clear architectural features; background simplifies to suggested forms with atmospheric fading. This prevents backgrounds from competing with character focus.
+
+**For AI prompts**: "Flat stylized background painting, digital watercolor aesthetic, mid-tone key color with built-up light layers, simplified geometric forms, strategic detail hierarchy with sharp foreground and atmospheric faded background, color gradient mesh for smooth tonal transitions"
+
+## Emotional Scene Treatment: Melancholy and Social Themes
+
+### Visualizing Poverty and Isolation
+
+Science SARU handles heavy emotional themes through **contrast between mundane reality and transcendent moments**. The Heike Story demonstrates melancholic mastery with desaturated inky scroll-painting hues, visual poetry using pillow shots, and nature metaphors for offscreen tragedy. Colors convey Buddhist impermanence—muted elegance suggests restraint and dignity in suffering.
+
+Devilman Crybaby shows how **vibrant colors make tragic moments more heartbreaking through contrast**. Dark moody bases with occasional pops of vibrant color create oppressive atmosphere punctuated by intensity. The apocalypse sequence features deep blue night sky tapering to baby blue at ocean's edge with glittering white spots—finding beauty in horror.
+
+For poverty themes specifically: **desaturation lowers emotional temperature** (sadness, loss, distance), cool color dominance (blues, cool grays, muted purples) suggests introspection, limited palettes create oppressive feeling, soft gradients reflect emotional gentleness, muted earth tones connect to impermanence and decay.
+
+### Social Realism Meets Artistic Expression
+
+Science SARU's approach to social issues combines **grounded, authentic environmental detail with expressive artistic flourishes**. Backgrounds provide lived-in authenticity through accumulated detail suggesting real daily life, while character animation and color shifts visualize internal emotional states.
+
+The studio's multicultural staff brings sensitivity to depicting diverse communities. Their work shows **energetic vibrancy maintaining brightness even in difficult moments**—avoiding exploitation while honoring struggle's reality. Environmental storytelling reveals character history without exposition through temporal layering (architectural styles showing history), cultural indicators, functional spaces showing actual use, and scale creating relationship between individual and environment.
+
+**For Ramadan beggar context**: Show accumulation of daily life detail (worn prayer mats, food stalls preparing iftar, mosque architecture in background), time-of-day progression through color temperature shifts (warm golden hour for hopeful moments, cool twilight for loneliness), character design simplified enough for consistency yet expressive enough for emotional range, crowd scenes with silhouetted figures showing community while emphasizing protagonist's isolation.
+
+**For AI prompts**: "Social realism with artistic expressiveness, lived-in environmental detail showing daily life, desaturated color palette with warm golden accents, simplified character design maintaining emotional expressiveness, muted earth tones with vibrant sunset moments, atmospheric depth through color gradation, cultural authenticity in background details, isolated figure against dense crowd silhouettes"

+
+# Pre-Deploy Checklist
+
+Generates a **thorough, measurable QA checklist** tailored to your actual project — not a generic template.
+
+**Two-phase flow:**
+1. Understand the project → confirm with user
+2. Deep parallel domain analysis → produce docs/pre-deploy-checklist.md
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Project Discovery
+
+**Goal:** Know what the project is before generating any checklist.
+
+### Step 1.1 — Map the project structure
+
+Use `Glob` and `Bash` to explore — **exclude build artifacts**:
+
+```bash
+# Exclude these patterns: node_modules/, target/, dist/, build/, .next/, out/,
+# __pycache__/, .git/, vendor/, coverage/, .turbo/, .cache/
+find . -maxdepth 3 -not \( -path '*/node_modules/*' -o -path '*/target/*' \
+  -o -path '*/dist/*' -o -path '*/.git/*' -o -path '*/__pycache__/*' \
+  -o -path '*/build/*' -o -path '*/.next/*' \) -type f | head -80
+```
+
+Then read in this priority order:
+1. `README.md` or `README.rst` → read fully
+2. If no README → read: `package.json` / `Cargo.toml` / `pyproject.toml` / `go.mod`
+3. Read 2-3 entry point files (e.g., `src/main.rs`, `src/app.tsx`, `server.ts`, `main.py`)
+4. Scan for: `docker-compose.yml`, `.env.example`, `Makefile`, CI configs (`.github/workflows/`)
+
+### Step 1.2 — Confirm understanding with user
+
+After reading, **STOP** and present this confirmation block:
+
+```
+## Pemahaman Saya tentang Project Ini
+
+**Tipe project:** [Web App / REST API / CLI / Mobile Backend / Library / Monorepo]
+**Stack utama:** [e.g., Next.js 14 + TypeScript + PostgreSQL + Prisma]
+**Fitur utama:**
+- [fitur 1]
+- [fitur 2]
+- [fitur 3]
+
+**Domain yang akan saya analisis:**
+- [ ] Frontend (ada UI)
+- [ ] Backend/API (ada server logic)
+- [ ] Database (ada schema/migrations)
+- [ ] Authentication (ada auth flow)
+- [ ] Infrastructure (ada Docker/CI/cloud config)
+- [ ] Security (selalu dianalisis)
+- [ ] Performance (selalu dianalisis)
+
+**Yang belum jelas:** [sebutkan jika ada, atau "Semua sudah cukup jelas"]
+
+Apakah pemahaman ini sudah benar? Ada yang perlu dikoreksi atau perlu investigasi lebih lanjut?
+```
+
+**⚠️ WAIT for user approval before proceeding to Phase 2.**
+If user asks to investigate more, do additional reads before re-confirming.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Parallel Domain Analysis
+
+**Only run after user explicitly approves the understanding.**
+
+### Step 2.1 — Spawn parallel subagents
+
+Use `Task` tool with `subagent_type: Explore` for **each relevant domain simultaneously**.
+All subagents run in **parallel** (not sequential).
+
+**Load prompts from:** [references/domain-prompts.md](references/domain-prompts.md)
+
+Typical domains for common project types:
+
+| Project Type | Spawn these subagents |
+|---|---|
+| Full-stack web | frontend, backend, database, security, performance |
+| API-only | backend, database, security, performance |
+| Frontend-only | frontend, state-management (if applicable), security, performance |
+| CLI tool | backend, security, performance |
+| Mobile app | frontend (mobile), backend, database, security |
+
+### Step 2.2 — Collect and merge reports
+
+Wait for ALL subagents to return. Each report has:
+- What the domain code does
+- What it's for (business purpose)
+- What MUST be tested before deploy (with reasoning)
+- Red flags found during analysis
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Generate the Checklist
+
+### Step 3.1 — Create docs/ if needed
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p docs/
+```
+
+### Step 3.2 — Write docs/pre-deploy-checklist.md
+
+Use the template in [references/checklist-template.md](references/checklist-template.md).
+
+**Checklist quality standards (must meet ALL):**
+
+| Standard | Example of BAD | Example of GOOD |
+|---|---|---|
+| Measurable | "test login" | "Login with valid email → redirected to /dashboard in <2s" |
+| Actionable | "check performance" | "Run 100 concurrent users → p95 response time <500ms" |
+| Specific | "test error handling" | "Submit form with missing email field → error message shows below input" |
+| Prioritized | all items same weight | 🔴 Critical / 🟡 Important / 🟢 Nice-to-have |
+| Project-specific | generic items | Only items relevant to this actual stack |
+
+**Item severity guide:**
+
+- 🔴 **Critical** — If broken, deploy is BLOCKED (auth failure, data corruption, crashes)
+- 🟡 **Important** — Affects significant UX/functionality (slow pages, visual bugs on main flows)
+- 🟢 **Nice-to-have** — Polish and future improvements (minor edge cases, optimization opportunities)

+## Output
+
+Final file: docs/pre-deploy-checklist.md (inside the user's project, not this skill)
+
+The file should contain:
+- Project metadata (name, date, stack, domains analyzed)
+- Usage instructions (how to use the checklist)
+- Categorized items by domain with 🔴/🟡/🟢 priority
+- Sign-off section at the bottom
+
+**Target:** 30-80 checklist items (varies by project complexity).
+Too few = not thorough enough. Too many = not actionable.

+
+## Universal Items (Every Project)
+
+### Security (Always 🔴 unless noted)
+- [ ] 🔴 No secrets/API keys committed to git (`git log --all -S "SECRET"` or check .env)
+- [ ] 🔴 All environment variables documented in `.env.example`
+- [ ] 🔴 Dependencies scanned for known vulnerabilities (`npm audit` / `cargo audit` / `pip-audit`)
+- [ ] 🔴 HTTP headers include security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS)
+- [ ] 🟡 Rate limiting enabled on public endpoints
+- [ ] 🟡 CORS configured to whitelist only known origins
+- [ ] 🟢 Security headers score A on securityheaders.com
+
+### Performance (Always)
+- [ ] 🔴 Core user flow completes in <3s on slow 3G (use Chrome DevTools throttling)
+- [ ] 🟡 Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) <2.5s on desktop
+- [ ] 🟡 Database queries <100ms on expected data volume (check query explain plan)
+- [ ] 🟡 No N+1 queries on list pages (check ORM query logs)
+- [ ] 🟢 Assets compressed (gzip/brotli enabled on server)
+- [ ] 🟢 Images optimized and served in WebP/AVIF format
+
+---
+
+## Frontend Checklist Items
+
+### Critical Flows
+- [ ] 🔴 [Main user action] — describe exact expected behavior and timing
+- [ ] 🔴 Form submission with valid data → success state shown, data saved correctly
+- [ ] 🔴 Form submission with invalid data → inline error messages appear near relevant field
+- [ ] 🔴 Network error during form submit → error message shown, data NOT lost
+- [ ] 🔴 Navigation to protected routes while logged out → redirects to login
+
+### UI/UX
+- [ ] 🟡 Responsive layout at mobile (375px), tablet (768px), desktop (1280px)
+- [ ] 🟡 Loading states shown for all async operations (spinner/skeleton)
+- [ ] 🟡 Empty states handled (no blank pages when lists are empty)
+- [ ] 🟡 Toast/notification messages visible and dismissible
+- [ ] 🟢 No console errors in browser DevTools on main pages
+- [ ] 🟢 Favicon and page titles set correctly for each page
+
+### Accessibility
+- [ ] 🟡 Keyboard navigation works through main form flows (Tab, Enter, Escape)
+- [ ] 🟡 Interactive elements have accessible labels (inputs, buttons, icons)
+- [ ] 🟡 Color contrast ratio meets WCAG AA (4.5:1 for text) — use axe DevTools
+- [ ] 🟢 Screen reader announces page changes correctly (aria-live regions)
+
+---
+
+## Backend/API Checklist Items
+
+### Core Functionality
+- [ ] 🔴 All critical API endpoints return correct HTTP status codes
+  - 200 OK for success
+  - 201 Created for new resources
+  - 400 Bad Request for invalid input (with error details in body)
+  - 401 Unauthorized for missing auth
+  - 403 Forbidden for insufficient permissions
+  - 404 Not Found for missing resources
+  - 500 Internal Server Error logged but not exposed to client
+- [ ] 🔴 Request input validated and sanitized before processing
+- [ ] 🔴 Auth middleware applied to all protected endpoints (test without token → 401)
+
+### Error Handling
+- [ ] 🔴 Server errors return generic message to client (no stack traces in production)
+- [ ] 🔴 All errors logged with enough context (user ID, request ID, timestamp)
+- [ ] 🟡 Graceful shutdown handles in-flight requests
+
+### Integration Points
+- [ ] 🔴 External API integrations have timeout configured (<10s default)
+- [ ] 🔴 External API failures handled (fallback behavior or clear error to user)
+- [ ] 🟡 Webhook endpoints validate signatures
+
+---
+
+## Database Checklist Items
+
+### Migrations
+- [ ] 🔴 All pending migrations applied to staging environment and tested
+- [ ] 🔴 Migration rollback script tested on staging
+- [ ] 🔴 New columns have appropriate NOT NULL constraints or defaults
+- [ ] 🟡 No migration drops columns that production data depends on (check data first)
+
+### Data Integrity
+- [ ] 🔴 Foreign key constraints in place where relationships exist
+- [ ] 🟡 Indexes exist on columns used in WHERE/JOIN clauses of frequent queries
+- [ ] 🟡 Unique constraints on email, usernames, or other unique fields
+- [ ] 🟢 Database connection pool size appropriate for expected concurrent users
+
+### Backup & Recovery
+- [ ] 🔴 Database backup configured and tested (can restore from backup?)
+- [ ] 🟡 Backup frequency matches data criticality (daily minimum for user data)
+
+---
+
+## Authentication Checklist Items
+
+- [ ] 🔴 Login with valid credentials → access granted, redirect correct
+- [ ] 🔴 Login with invalid password → error shown, account NOT locked after 1 attempt
+- [ ] 🔴 Login with non-existent email → same error message as invalid password (no user enumeration)
+- [ ] 🔴 Brute force protection: account locked or rate limited after N failed attempts
+- [ ] 🔴 Password reset flow → token sent to email, token expires (24h max), one-time use
+- [ ] 🔴 JWT/session expires after configured timeout
+- [ ] 🔴 Logout clears all tokens/sessions (including refresh tokens in DB)
+- [ ] 🔴 Passwords hashed with bcrypt (cost ≥12) or argon2id
+- [ ] 🟡 OAuth callback validates `state` parameter (CSRF protection)
+- [ ] 🟡 Remember me / refresh tokens stored as httpOnly cookies
+
+---
+
+## Infrastructure Checklist Items
+
+- [ ] 🔴 All production environment variables set in deployment platform
+- [ ] 🔴 Health check endpoint responds with 200 (e.g., `GET /health`)
+- [ ] 🔴 Application starts successfully with production env vars (no missing config)
+- [ ] 🔴 Rollback procedure documented and tested
+- [ ] 🟡 CI/CD pipeline runs: lint → test → build → deploy (all passing)
+- [ ] 🟡 Deployment window communicated to team
+- [ ] 🟡 On-call/responsible person available during and after deployment
+- [ ] 🟡 Monitoring/alerting configured (error rate spike alerts)
+- [ ] 🟢 Resource limits set (container memory/CPU limits)
