## What it does

This skill takes a real lifestyle photo and runs an image editing pipeline through the `muapi` CLI. The original subject keeps their realistic appearance, facial features and clothes. Around them, the prompt places five to eight chibi sticker clones with white outlines and soft shadows, matching the mood of the location.

The tool calls the `gpt-image-2-image-to-image` model and outputs a 2160x3840 PNG file in 9:16 portrait orientation. This format fits social stories and vertical feeds directly. The generation also draws decorative scrapbook doodles and handwritten phrases in white and soft pink.

You need the `muapi` CLI utility and an active `MUAPI_API_KEY` token. Without running `muapi auth configure` beforehand, requests to the API fail immediately. Plain studio headshots perform worse because the model relies on the background scene to decide chibi poses and captions.

# Chibi Collage Effect

**Turn a real lifestyle photo into a polished "chibi clone sticker diary" image — the original person stays photorealistic, surrounded by 5–8 kawaii chibi mini-clones, scrapbook doodles, and handwritten-style captions that match the scene.**

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| `person_image` | image_url | yes | — | A clear lifestyle photo of the person. Setting, outfit, mood, and activity are read from this image and drive the chibi poses and captions. |


## Steps

### Phase A — Chibi Collage Generation

If `{{person_image}}` is not provided, ask the user to upload a lifestyle photo (café, outdoor, cozy at home, travel, etc.). The scene context is what makes the chibi clones feel native to the moment, so a generic studio headshot will give weaker results than a real lifestyle shot.

Once the photo is available, submit the plan with ONE step to generate the chibi collage:

1. **Chibi Collage Generation** — `muapi image edit` (model=`gpt-image-2-image-to-image`):
   - Reference Image: `{{person_image}}`
   - Image size: `2160x3840` (9:16 portrait) — high-resolution social-media-ready output
   - Background: `auto`
   - Output format: `png`
   - Quality: `auto`
   - Moderation: `low`
   - Prompt:
     ```
     Create a high-quality "chibi clone sticker diary photo" based on the uploaded real-life image. Preserve the original person's identity, face, hairstyle, hair color, outfit, body proportions, pose, lighting, and background. Do not alter facial features or turn the subject into a full illustration—maintain a realistic photo look.
     Analyze the uploaded image carefully: identify the setting, mood, activity, clothing style, and overall vibe of the scene. Use this analysis to determine the theme of the chibi stickers, poses, emotions, and text phrases — everything should feel native to the actual moment captured in the photo.
