good to know

  • /illo install all character packs — grab the whole catalog at once so any mascot is ready when you ask for it, instead of installing one by one.
  • /illo update all character packs — refresh installed packs when the repo ships fixes or new versions. Ask your agent to run this on a schedule if you want it hands-off.

Build your own character

Characters you build stay on your machine unless you share them. The community repo is where packs go when you want others to install them by name.

easiest

Ask your agent

The skill runs an interactive interview — locked face, one accent part, a print look, model sheet, scene preview — and saves a pack locally. It can optionally walk you through opening a PR to illo-characters.

Work in the repo

Fork illo-characters, open the clone in your agent, and paste something like this to start:

I forked illo-characters and opened it here. Read AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md, skim a few existing packs for format and looks, then interview me about one character to add. When we lock the design, create the pack files, run validate.py, and help me open a PR with the reference and preview images embedded.

Same rules as community packs — one look per pack, globally unique name, real PNGs. See CONTRIBUTING.md.
