Would be happy to pay for this if I could write a prompt for how i want it to re-shape any page I visit! Like add specific instructions, etc. This is awesome work - I can already imagine using this to hide features I don't want to see on websites at certain times.

> 1. How deep does the modification go? If I request a tweek to the YouTube homepage, do I need to re-specify or reload the tweek to have it persist across the entire site (deeply nested pages, iframes, etc.) If you're familiar with Greasemonkey, we work similar to the @match metadata.
