Summary

Turn your cast into a character archive, a model sheet, and a playable "who is the undercover" game in one page.

  • Archive tab: each character gets a card that flips open to reveal a secret and a relationship line.
  • Sheet tab: one character sheet with a main picture, four views, and four expressions, all keeping the same face. Actions and outfits can be added.
  • Game tab: a "who is the undercover" round with your characters. Players get near-identical words, give clues, and vote someone out.
  • Needs 3 to 8 characters with a trait and a relationship each, plus a visual style for the sheet.
  • The default sheet is 9 pictures. You're told the picture count first. The archive and the game need no pictures.

# Character Kit

One cast, three ways in. **Archive** gives each character a card that flips open to a secret and a relationship line. **Sheet** gives one model sheet: a master, four views, expressions, actions and outfits, all drawn from the same identity lock so the face does not drift. **Undercover** turns the same cast into a social-deduction round: every player gets one of two near-identical words, gives a clue, and votes.

Read this file fully before generating anything or writing files. Resolve relative paths from this skill's directory.

## Language

Reply in the user's language, whatever language this file is in. This holds for every message of the run, above all the final handover; translate what the scripts print, don't paste it. All visible text — tab labels, dossier copy, sheet captions, game prompts, win messages — follows the user's language; character names and quoted lines stay as written.

## When to use / when not

Use when the user has several characters and wants a reusable reference kit, a visual model sheet, or a deduction game with their own cast. This skill makes one web Work.

Not for a single portrait (`character-portraits`), a relationship map (`relationship-network`), a full visual novel (`create-avg`), or a chat roleplay. For those, say what this skill makes and stop.

## Inputs

| Item | Required | Counts as given when |
|---|---|---|
| Cast | yes | 3–8 named characters with at least one written trait and one relationship. "My OCs" alone does not count. |
| Visual style | yes for the sheet | The world's visual style, a named style, or a reference image. Without it the sheet cannot be consistent. |
| Word pair | no — default written from the cast | Two near-identical things from the world (coffee/tea, sword/saber, two sisters). The builder needs a clue pool for each. |
| Sheet depth | no — default 9 images | `master + 4 views + 4 expressions`. Actions (6) and outfits (4) are optional add-ons. |

Ask once, in one message, if the cast or the visual style is missing, then stop. If both are given, build; state the image budget in one line.

## Cost model

Default sheet = 9 generated images: one master, four views, four expressions. Each extra expression is +1; six actions are +6; four outfits are +4. The deduction game and the archive need no images. Say the budget before generating; never quietly drop the four views.

## Steps

1. **Read the cast.** `neta atom list` → `neta atom get` for each character. Extract one sentence of role, three keywords, one secret, one quote, and every named relationship. Write `$RUN/cast.md` with the source of each. Do not invent a relationship the material does not support; write "unspecified" instead.
2. **Write the plan.** `$RUN/plan.json` per `references/plan-schema.md`. The archive is text; the sheet is a list of image slots; the game is one word pair with five clues per side and three ambiguous clues.
3. **Build the identity lock.** One block of text used at the top and bottom of every image prompt:
   ```text
   CHARACTER IDENTITY LOCK — reproduce this exact character without changing any feature
   Name / species / core appearance / signature accessory / palette / art style
   Quality: full body in frame; anatomically correct; correct limbs, ears, tails, wings; no text;
   simple neutral background.
   ```
   Use the same wording for all slots of one character. This is the reason the face holds across four views.
4. **Generate the sheet.** Through the bundled script, one slot at a time:
   ```bash
   node scripts/gen.mjs --kind image --state $RUN/gen-<char>-<slot>.json \
     --prompt "<identity lock + slot prompt from references/plan-schema.md>" \
     --work-title "<Work title>" --param aspect_ratio=3:4 --param image_size=1K --models "<fallbacks>"
   ```
   Rerun while `generating`/`busy`; it resumes the accepted task and never pays twice. Generate the master first, then pass it as `--image reference_image=<master>` for views, expressions and outfits so identity carries.
5. **Validate and build.**
   ```bash
   node scripts/build.mjs --plan $RUN/plan.json --assets $RUN/assets --out $RUN/site --lang <locale> --check
   node /mods/neta/neta work init web works/webs/<slug> --title "<title>"
   node scripts/build.mjs --plan $RUN/plan.json --assets $RUN/assets --out works/webs/<slug> --lang <locale>
   ```
6. **Play all three tabs.** Serve it and check: every card flips and shows a secret, every declared sheet image loads with its caption, the undercover round gives every alive player a clue, a vote eliminates one player, a tie skips an elimination, the undercover win and civilian win both reachable, and 375 px width keeps the tabs usable. Write `$RUN/qa.md`.
7. **Publish and hand over.** See Deliver.

`$RUN` = `_runs/character-kit/<timestamp>/`.

## Deliver

One browser web Work.

1. Publish: `node /mods/neta/neta work publish web works/webs/<slug> --title "<same title>"`.
2. Open the published entry and switch through all three tabs.
3. In the user's language, state the cast size, the sheet image count, and the word pair — but not which character is the undercover.
4. **Hand over with a card — the run is not delivered until this step is done.** One `interaction-components` card on its own line, target `{ "type": "work", "workId": "<id>" }`, the id from the publish output (fallback: `cohubWorkId` in `works/webs/<slug>/meta.json`). Never a made-up id, a folder path, or a `world-file` link to `index.html`.

## Out of scope

- Do not change world settings, delete files that existed before the run, or edit memory, character cards, installed scripts or existing Works.
- Do not invent relationships, secrets or traits the material does not support. Mark written additions as written.
- Do not add combat, romance routes or a branching story. The deduction round is the only game.
- Make only the requested Work; do not act on your own next-step suggestions.

## When to stop

- No cast or no visual style: ask once, then stop.
- More than eight characters: say the sheet becomes 70+ images, propose the archive and game for everyone plus a sheet for four, and let the user decide.
- Asked for a single portrait or a relationship map: say what this skill makes and stop.

## Gotchas

- The four views drift because each prompt re-describes the character slightly differently. Use one identity-lock block verbatim, and pass the master as a reference for every later slot.
- A "back view" prompt that says "back" but not "full body, including the back of the head and hair" produces a headless torso. Keep the full phrase.
- Identity reference images and first-frame roles cannot be mixed on most models. For a still sheet, pass `reference_image`, not `first_frame`.
- The undercover AI must not use a clue tag from the other word's pool. If it does, the round is solved in one line; filter by the actor's own tag set.
- A tie that eliminates someone by random choice feels broken. Skip the elimination on a tie and say so.
- The deducer's own word is shown only to them; on the shared screen, keep it behind a hold-to-reveal.
