Steal · colorNotes by Will
Prose mentions of mechanical parts ('escapement wheel', 'pallet fork') are color-coded with inline pill backgrounds that match the exact RGB shader color of that gear in the 3D WebGL canvas below.
Steal · motion/interactionNotes by Will
Every WebGL figure starts paused or at calm low speed with a single explicit slider beneath it, never hijacking native page scroll.

Provenance & takedown

Publicly sourced references link to an original; private or concept examples are labelled separately. All referenced work belongs to its creators. What this vault adds — and what it is for — is the commentary: the steal-notes are the content, not the pixels. Notes are written by hand unless their card says otherwise; a model draft is always labelled. Study use only.

Try it in your agent · no key

One command puts these notes inside Claude Code. Without a key the agent sees 5 families and gets 5 calls a day — enough to judge the taste before you rent it. The key opens every family and lifts the meter.
