  "description": "Warm, illustrated how-to style for recipes, setup guides and any process with a handful of steps. A centred SVG vessel with a soft ink outline fills layer by layer: liquids rise with a wobbling surface, ingredients drop in, bottles tilt and pour. A chunky red rounded title sits on top, a white step card on the right shows 'STEP 3 OF 5', a big quantity and the ingredient with a progress bar, numbered dots along the bottom fill as you advance, and it ends on a celebratory finish card.",

  "guide": "- Cream #fbf6ec background with a faint dot grain; every drawing has a 4–5px #3b2f2f round-joined outline and a flat light fill, so it feels hand-drawn. Never use gradients or photos.\n- Layout is fixed: red Baloo 2 800 title (120px, 4px ink stroke, 6px #f6c3c4 offset shadow) and Patrick Hand subtitle at top, the vessel centred-left (~360px wide), measurement ticks right of it, the step card at x≈1150, numbered dots along y≈950.\n- Liquids are clipped layers with a sine-wave top that scrolls continuously; raise them with power1.inOut and finish with an elastic.out(1, 0.3) rotation wobble. Solid ingredients drop with bounce.out.\n- Pours: the prop tilts to ~115° around its mouth, a 16px outlined stream grows to the surface (attr height), then retracts downward before the prop leaves.\n- The card always shows 'STEP N OF M' (red, tracked), a big quantity ('6 OZ', '1 TSP', '10 SEC'), the ingredient, a one-line note and a progress bar. Keep it to 4–6 steps.\n- Step dots: grey outline = upcoming, red ring = current (pop 1.25×), red fill with white check = done; connectors fill red as you advance.\n- Finish with an 'ALL DONE!' card (slight -2.5° tilt, back.out), red celebration rays drawing on around the vessel and every dot filled."
