Selfie

Use this skill when the user wants selfies or self-portraits that should stay visually consistent over time.

Current Status

This skill is a catalog target, not an active runtime capability yet.

Today Aliceloop can:

• generate prompt-only images with aliceloop image generate
• store generated files locally
• send finished images back into a thread

What is still missing for a full selfie workflow:

• reference-image conditioning in /api/images/generate
• a stable album metadata format for appearance tracking
• a repeatable face-consistency path across sessions

Intended Album Layout

Store selfie assets under:

~/.aliceloop/selfies/

Recommended structure:

~/.aliceloop/selfies/
  profile.json
  references/
  generated/

Intended Workflow

1. Create or inspect the local selfie album.
2. Keep a short appearance profile in profile.json with stable traits, style cues, and preferred camera framing.
3. Save the strongest reference images into references/.
4. Generate new selfie-style outputs into generated/.
5. Once the image backend supports reference inputs, pass the saved references into the generation step for consistency.

Temporary Best-Effort Fallback

Until face-reference support exists, use prompt-only generation and be explicit that identity consistency is approximate:

mkdir -p ~/.aliceloop/selfies/generated
aliceloop image generate "natural handheld phone selfie, soft window light, same subject as prior Alice profile, candid expression" \
  --output ~/.aliceloop/selfies/generated/selfie-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).png

Album Management

Useful local commands:

mkdir -p ~/.aliceloop/selfies/references ~/.aliceloop/selfies/generated
find ~/.aliceloop/selfies -type f | sort
ls -lt ~/.aliceloop/selfies/generated | head

Guardrails

• Do not claim strong face consistency until the backend can actually use reference images.
• Keep album paths local to Aliceloop rather than older experimental locations.
• Treat stored reference photos as private user assets.
