1	# Video Character Design
2
3	Use this skill to create a reusable character asset package for video planning, storyboard generation, and image-to-video generation.
4
5	The package has two files:
6
7	1. `{character-name}.md` — the character design specification.
8	2. `{character-name}.png` — the character design sheet image generated only after the user confirms the `.md`.
9
10	The user-facing `.md` may be written in the user's preferred local language unless they request English. Keep file names simple, lowercase, and filesystem-safe.
11
12	## Core Rule: Spec First, Image Second
13
14	Always create the `.md` design spec first.
15
16	Do not generate the `.png` in the same step unless the user has already explicitly approved an existing character spec or says to proceed without confirmation.
17
18	Default sequence:
19
20	1. Extract or design the character.
21	2. Save `{character-name}.md`.
22	3. Ask the user to confirm or revise the design.
23	4. After approval, generate `{character-name}.png`.
24	5. Save the generated image beside the `.md`.
25
26	This confirmation step matters because character images are expensive to iterate after the identity, wardrobe, and sheet layout are wrong.
27
28	## Output Location
29
30	Use a project-local character directory when one exists. If no convention exists, create:
31
32	```text
33	characters/
34	```
35
36	Save outputs as:
37
38	```text
39	characters/{character-name}.md
40	characters/{character-name}.png
41	```
42
43	If the user explicitly requests another directory, use that directory.
44
45	Examples:
46
47	- `characters/campus-girl.md`
48	- `characters/campus-girl.png`
49	- `characters/travel-boyfriend.md`
50	- `characters/blue-team-runner.png`
51
52	Do not overwrite existing files unless the user requested replacement. For alternatives, use suffixes such as `-v2`, `-summer-uniform`, or `-hero-look`.
53
54	## Input Modes
55
56	Support two input modes.
57
58	### Mode A: Extract From Reference
59
60	Use this when the user points to an image, storyboard, video still, uploaded reference, or existing generated asset.
61
62	Extract observable traits:
63
64	- Apparent age range and casting type.
65	- Face shape, hairstyle, skin tone, expression, and distinguishing features.
66	- Body proportions and posture.
67	- Wardrobe, shoes, accessories, bag, jewelry, props.
68	- Color palette and materials.
69	- Clothing material details: weave, knit, sheen, thickness, drape, seams, cuffs, stitching, wrinkles, weathering, and how the fabric reacts to studio light.
70	- Scene context, lighting, and camera feel.
71
72	Be honest about uncertainty. If a detail is unclear, mark it as an assumption instead of inventing a precise fact.
73
74	### Mode B: Design From Scratch
75
76	Use this when the user describes a character without a reference image.
77
78	Ask only for missing details that materially change the character:
79
80	- Character role in the video.
81	- Age range or life stage.
82	- Gender presentation if relevant.
83	- Setting and genre.
84	- Wardrobe direction.
85	- Visual tone: realistic, commercial, documentary, stylized, animation, etc.
86
87	If the user wants speed, make reasonable assumptions and list them in the `.md`.
88
89	## Character Name
90
91	Derive a concise slug from the role when the user does not provide a name.
92
93	Rules:
94
95	- Lowercase.
96	- Use hyphens.
97	- ASCII only.
98	- Avoid spaces and punctuation.
99	- Keep it stable across revisions.
100
101	Examples:
102
103	- "校园广告里的女生" -> `campus-girl`
104	- "男主，旅行情侣里的男生" -> `travel-boyfriend`
105	- "basketball team captain" -> `basketball-captain`
106
107	## `{character-name}.md` Template
108
109	Use this structure for the design spec. Translate headings if the user prefers another language.
110
111	```markdown
