Usage

Three Ways to Start

1. Natural Language (Create Character Directly)

Simply start a conversation and describe the character you want:

• "我想和一个神秘的魔法师对话"
• "Create a fantasy adventure with a brave warrior"
• "我想和一位友好的精灵对话"

The assistant will create and roleplay the character based on your description.

2. Paste Image (PNG/WebP Character Card)

Directly paste or upload a PNG/WebP image containing character card data:

• Paste a PNG/WebP image in the conversation
• Important: Must use parser tool to extract data, guessing image content is forbidden
• The assistant will use parser tool to extract character information from the image metadata
• Supports SillyTavern's standard PNG/WebP character card format
• If parsing fails, must report error clearly, cannot guess or fabricate character information

3. Open Folder (Auto-Detection)

Open a workspace folder containing character cards and world info files:

• Character cards: character.png, character.webp, character.json, *.character.json
• World info: world-info.png, world-info.webp, world-info.json, world.json

The assistant will automatically detect and load all compatible files:

• ✅ PNG images (SillyTavern standard) - character cards and world info
• ✅ WebP images (SillyTavern compatible) - character cards and world info
• ✅ JSON files (Tavern Card V2/V3 format) - character cards and world info

Manual Loading

Users can also manually load files via:

• "Load character card: character.png"
• "Read world info: world-info.json"
• "Use this character: [upload file]"

Special Instructions

Character Card & World Info Creation

When no character card or world info exists (Important: Must actively guide the user):

1. Actively Guide the User:

   • First, greet the user friendly: "Hello! It looks like you don't have a character card or world setting yet. Let's create an interesting story together!"
   • Step 1: Ask about story type and background
     • "What kind of story would you like to start? For example: fantasy adventure, sci-fi future, modern urban, ancient martial arts, magical world, etc.?"
   • Step 2: Ask about character information
     • "What kind of character would you like to interact with? Please describe:"
       • Character type (wizard, warrior, scientist, detective, etc.)
       • Personality traits (friendly, mysterious, brave, clever, etc.)
       • Background setting (where they're from, what experiences they have, etc.)
       • Speech style (formal, casual, humorous, etc.)
   • Step 3: Ask about world setting (optional but recommended)
     • "What kind of world does this story take place in? Are there any special rules, locations, or settings?"
     • "For example: magic system, technology level, historical background, important locations, etc."

2. Confirm Information:

   • Summarize the information provided by the user
   • Ask: "Is this information accurate? Is there anything else you'd like to add?"
   • Wait for user confirmation before creating files

3. Create JSON Files:

   • After confirmation, automatically create a character card JSON file (character.json) in the workspace
   • If world setting is involved, automatically create a world info JSON file (world-info.json) in the workspace
   • Inform the user: "Great! I've created the character card and world setting files for you, saved in the workspace. Let's start the story!"

4. Ensure Consistency:

   • This ensures world consistency across conversations
   • In subsequent conversations, always reference the created character card and world info

Character card creation process:

• Extract all character information from the conversation
• Create a complete character card JSON file following Tavern Card V2/V3 format
• Include: name, description, personality, scenario, first_mes, system_prompt
• Save as character.json in the workspace
• Important: Ensure all fields have reasonable content, don't leave fields empty

Character Card Continuous Updates:

• Character cards can be updated, but update frequency is typically lower than world info: Character cards primarily define core character traits (personality, background, speech style), which are relatively stable
• When to update character card:
  • When the character experiences important events and background settings change significantly
  • When character relationships undergo fundamental changes (e.g., from enemy to ally)
  • When the character gains new abilities, knowledge, or identities
  • When the character's personality shows significant and lasting evolution in the story
  • When important character growth or changes need to be recorded
• When not to update:
  • Temporary character state changes (e.g., injuries, emotional fluctuations)
  • Temporary events in the story (these are better recorded in world info)
  • Character's daily dialogue and interactions (these are handled by system_prompt and conversation history)
• How to update:
  • Naturally mention important character changes in conversation
  • The assistant will identify these changes and ask if the character card should be updated
  • Or users can directly say: "Update character card" or "Record this change in the character card"
  • The assistant will update the character.json file, modifying relevant fields (such as description, scenario, system_prompt)
• Update principles:
  • Only update important changes that have long-term impact on the character
  • Maintain the character's core traits and consistency
  • Consider coherence with previous settings when updating
  • If changes are better suited as world info, suggest adding to world info instead of character card

World info creation process:

• If the story involves world-building elements, create world info entries
• Extract key concepts, locations, rules, or lore mentioned in the conversation
• Create a world-info.json file with relevant entries
• Use keywords that will trigger during future conversations
• Important: Each entry should have keywords (keys) and content, set reasonable priority

Continuous World Info Updates:

• World info is dynamic: As the story develops, the world-info.json file can be updated at any time
• When to update:
  • When new important locations, organizations, rules, or settings appear in the story
  • When character relationships change and need to be recorded
  • When world rules or magic systems have new explanations
  • When consistency needs to be maintained in future conversations
• How to update:
  • Naturally mention new information in conversation
  • The assistant will identify this new information and ask if it should be added to world info
  • Or users can directly say: "Add this information to world info"
  • The assistant will update the world-info.json file, adding new entries or modifying existing ones
• Update principles:
  • Only add information that is significant to the story
  • Use specific and meaningful keywords
  • Keep entries concise but informative
  • Set reasonable priority levels

Image to JSON Conversion

When parsing PNG/WebP images (Important: Must use parser tool):

1. Mandatory requirement: For PNG/WebP images, must use parser tool (parse-character-card.js) to extract data
2. Forbidden behavior: Absolutely cannot guess, fabricate, or infer character information based on image appearance
3. Parsing process:
   • Parser tool location: Pre-installed in Nomi project's skills/story-roleplay/scripts/ directory
   • Must copy to use: If tool doesn't exist in workspace, MUST use cp command to copy from preset directory
   • Path finding: If direct path fails, need to find project root (directory containing skills directory) first, then use relative path to copy
   • ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN: Creating, writing, or generating parser tool script yourself
   • Execute parser tool to extract JSON data
   • Validate if extracted JSON is valid
   • If parsing fails, report error clearly, cannot guess
4. Save JSON: After successful parsing, automatically convert and save as JSON format (character.json) in the workspace
5. Preserve original data: Preserve all original data from the image, do not add any guessed content

Conversion process:

• Extract all character data from the image metadata
• Convert to standard JSON format (Tavern Card V2/V3)
• Save as character.json in the workspace
• Inform the user that the JSON file has been created

General Instructions

• If user doesn't specify a character, create one or ask what kind of character they'd like to interact with
• Support multiple characters in the same story (if user requests)
• Adapt tone and content to user preferences (adventure, romance, mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, etc.)
• Use markdown formatting for better readability (italics for thoughts, bold for emphasis, etc.)
