## What it does

The skill builds an anime character sheet from your photo first: several angles, full body, close-ups. That sheet feeds every scene, which is how the face stays consistent instead of drifting between shots. Then the agent designs the match itself — your team against the opponent, a concrete goal mechanic and a scoreline with minutes for each beat — and writes three 15-second prompts: the call, the equalizer, the late winner.

Each scene is generated on Seedance off the character sheet, then stitched. The prompt formula is strict: a cel-shaded style tag, the hero's name in CAPS, kit colors, anime camera tricks like bullet-time on the strike, and Japanese dialogue lines with subtitles. Opponents are described by kit color only, no crests or names.

The Pika MCP is required. The character sheet comes from `generate_image_edit` with the `nano-banana-pro` provider — `gpt-image-2` rejects anime edits of a real, identifiable face on content policy grounds. On Claude Desktop, where pasted images don't reach the MCP, you'll need a URL or a `.zip` instead.

## When to use it
- star in an anime football short from a single photo
- keep the hero's face consistent across every scene
- design a dramatic match with concrete goals and a scoreline
- generate three 15-second scenes and stitch them together
- add Japanese dialogue and a final score card

## Example prompts
- /anime-soccer photo.jpg + my team vs the opponent, call me KAITO
- put me in an anime soccer video, I score the winner in stoppage time
- make me the anime football hero from my photo

  Use when the user asks for anime soccer or a task matching the examples below.
  Put the USER into a ~45s Japanese-anime football short as the hero — from their
  photo + their favorite team + the opponent. Anime-fies the user's face into a
  consistent character sheet, designs a dramatic 3-act match (come on → equalizer
  → winner) with the user scoring, writes three 15s cel-shaded scene prompts (CAPS
  names + Japanese dialogue), generates them on Seedance off the sheets, and stitches
  them. A Japanese-anime football short built on the Pika MCP, but the
  star is YOU. Triggers: "/anime-soccer", "put me in an anime soccer video", "make me
  the anime football hero", "anime match with my photo". Requires the Pika MCP.

# anime-soccer

Turn the **user** into the hero of a **3-scene (~45s) Japanese-anime football short**, but the star is the person running it. Each scene is a 15s cel-shaded anime beat with the user (named, in CAPS) and Japanese dialogue, generated on **Seedance** off an **anime character sheet** made from the user's photo, then stitched.

**The proven pipeline (do not deviate from the order):**
`user photo → anime CHARACTER SHEET (nano-banana-pro) → DESIGN the dramatic match + WRITE 3×15s scene prompts (you, acting as Claude) → SEEDANCE each scene off the sheet → STITCH`.

The magic is in three things, in this order: (1) a **character sheet** so the user's anime likeness is consistent across every scene, (2) a **specific, dramatic match** designed for them (their team vs the opponent, real **kit colors**, a concrete goal mechanic each scene — not a generic "he scores"), (3) the **scene-prompt formula** (cel-shaded style tag + named hero in CAPS + camera/anime techniques + Japanese VO).

## Stage 0 — Intake

Collect, in one pass (the only things that change per user):
- **The user's photo** *(required)* — a clear face photo; this becomes the anime hero. Local path or URL. Likeness comes from this. Upload local files via `upload_asset` → use the `public_url`. (If on Claude Desktop where pasted images don't reach MCP, ask once for a URL or a `.zip`.)
- **On-screen hero name** *(optional)* — what to call them in CAPS in the prompts + Japanese VO (e.g. "KAITO"). Default to their first name, or "THE STRIKER" if they'd rather not use a name.
- **Their team** *(required)* — the hero's side. Capture the **kit colors / stripe pattern** (e.g. "sky-blue and white vertical stripes"), NOT the crest or sponsor (describe colors, not trademarks — see de-branding in failure modes).
```
