    "[CORE] Draw an original adult anime worker as the emotional focal point, with fine tapered ink lines, sharp cel-shadow facets and detailed foreground machinery.",
    "[CORE] Use luminous sulphur-yellow stock, carbon-black headline and shadows, dusty rose and bone for figures and hardware, with tiny vermilion register slips under hard neutral light.",
    "[CORE] Set a massive upright, low-contrast weighty slab or flared-serif word with squat counters, bitten ink edges and readable letters.",
    "[CORE] Drive a broad folded perforated recorder strip through multiple planes, with rectangular feed holes, speed ticks, cut edges and one overprinted bend.",
    "[CORE] Collide cropped tool, worker, strip and type; crowd a local margin with dense texture text and diagram numerals; leave one yellow pocket quiet.",
    "[CORE] Keep dry black ink loss, fine halftone in midtones and narrow red plate offset local to edges; avoid photographic softness.",
    "[FLEX] Move and rotate title, witness mark and figure to expose the physical direction of each job.",
    "[FLEX] Scale the foreground part from tool-sized to architectural if the operator stays recognisable."
