selfie

name: selfie description: Planned Alice-native selfie workflow for self-portraits, local album management, and future face-reference generation support. status: planned allowed-tools: - bash - read - write - glob

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

Create or inspect the local selfie album.
Keep a short appearance profile in profile.json with stable traits, style cues, and preferred camera framing.
Save the strongest reference images into references/.
Generate new selfie-style outputs into generated/.
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.
