The prompt

This is the "Top of the List" template from Widget Index. Keep it a Top of the List panel, titled "Top of the List" unless I ask for a different name. Before you build it, ask me only about the parts marked [ask me], one short question at a time, in plain words that fit a Top of the List panel, with two or three concrete options each time. Skip anything you can work out yourself or that has an obvious default. Then build it.

Build me a panel on my Home called "Top of the List".

What it shows: one sentence with the headline (like "Top story has 612 points."), then the top five [ask me: what each item is] on [ask me: the ranked source] right now, in its own order, each with [ask me: what the score is] and a link.

Where the data lives: the public page for [ask me: the ranked source]. Read it, never change it.

Look: make the face of the panel the design, not a list of numbers. Horizontal bars, one per item, sized by value; the one that matters most highlighted in gold. Under the visual, one short insight line that tells me what matters right now (like "Top story at 612 points"), with a dot colored by urgency: green fine, gold needs attention, red act now. Dark background, gold #DEAB42 accent, small title. One visual and one insight on the face; any extra detail goes below it, never on top.

Rhythm: refresh [ask me: how often]. Re-check the source each time and keep only current values; never invent one.
Use: glance; open the item.
