Twenty expressions. Every sticker looks like the same person.** That's the hard part — and that's what CellCog does better than anyone.\n\nGenerating one cute sticker is easy. Every AI tool can do that. But generating a complete pack of 20 stickers where the character has the same face, same style, same proportions — just different expressions and poses? That's consistency at scale, and it's where most AI tools completely fall apart. By sticker #10, your character looks like a different person.\n\nCellCog maintains character identity across every single generation, delivers with transparent backgrounds, and packages everything for your target platform — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, or iMessage.\n\n## How to Use\n\nUse the CellCog tools from this plugin's connector (`https://cellcog.ai/mcp`). The first time a tool runs, the user signs in with their CellCog account and clicks Approve.\n\n1. `cellcog_chat_create` with the brief as `prompt` (optionally `chat_mode` and `chat_tier`). It returns a chat id at once; the work runs in the background.\n2. Poll `cellcog_get_result` with that `chat_id` about once a minute. While it runs you get progress notes; when `complete` is true you get the final message and file links (valid 30 days), with previews of images and PDF pages.\n3. To iterate, `cellcog_chat_send` into the same chat. For files on the user's computer, open `cellcog_upload` and pass `upload:<upload_id>` in `attachments`; public https links can go in `attachments` directly.\n\nFor files, modes and tiers in depth, read the **cellcog** skill.\n\n---\n\n## Why Sticker Packs Are Hard\n\nThe challenge isn't making one sticker. It's making twenty that look like they belong together.\n\n| The Problem | Why It's Hard | How CellCog Solves It |\n|-------------|---------------|----------------------|\n| **Character drift** | Each AI generation drifts slightly — different face shape, different proportions | CellCog's reference image threading maintains identity across all generations |\n| **Style consistency** | Line weight, color palette, and art style shift between generations | The agent establishes a visual style guide before generating and enforces it throughout |\n| **Expression range** | Getting 20 genuinely different expressions without changing the character | CellCog plans the full expression set upfront, then generates each with the character locked |\n| **Transparent backgrounds** | Many AI models struggle with clean transparency | Dedicated transparent background model produces clean cutouts |\n| **Platform formatting** | Each messaging platform has different size, format, and packaging requirements | Automatic conversion and optimization for WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, iMessage |\n\n---\n\n## What Sticker Packs You Can Create\n\n### Character Sticker Packs\n\nDesign a character and get a complete expression set:\n\n- **Original Characters**: \"Create a sticker pack with a friendly fox character — 20 expressions for everyday messaging\"\n- **Chibi/Anime Style**: \"Design a chibi version of a warrior princess with 15 battle and everyday expressions\"\n- **Mascot Packs**: \"Create a sticker pack for our startup mascot — a robot named Bolt\"\n- **Couple/Duo Packs**: \"Design two best friend characters and create stickers of them together\"\n\n**Example prompt:**\n> \"Create a WhatsApp sticker pack — 20 stickers:\n> \n> Character: A chubby orange tabby cat named Mochi\n> Style: Kawaii, round, simple clean lines, warm color palette\n> \n> Expressions:\n> 1.

Here's the reference image:\n> [upload mascot image]\n> \n> Create a WhatsApp sticker pack (20 stickers) using Hoot:\n> - Keep Hoot's exact design, colors, and proportions\n> - Add work-related expressions: 'Great job!', 'Deadline approaching', 'Meeting time',\n>   'Need coffee', 'On it!', 'Thinking...', 'Approved!', 'Let's discuss', etc.\n> - Mix of work reactions and casual expressions\n> \n> Format: 512×512 WebP, transparent backgrounds, under 100KB each.\n> Also create a set of 10 as 128×128 PNG for Slack emoji.\"\n\n**Pet sticker pack:**\n> \"Create a sticker pack from my dog's photo:\n> [upload dog photo]\n> \n> My dog is a corgi named Biscuit.\n> Turn Biscuit into a cartoon character (keep the corgi proportions, stumpy legs, big butt)\n> and create 15 stickers:\n> \n> Happy wiggle, Zoomies, Sploot, Begging for treats, Judging you, \n> Sleeping in funny position, Barking, Head tilt, Catching a ball,\n> Rolling in grass, Wet dog, Wearing a tiny hat, Digging, Tail wagging, Puppy eyes\n> \n> For Telegram. 512×512, transparent.\"\n\n---\n\n## Tips for Better Sticker Packs\n\n1. **Describe the character in detail**: \"Orange cat\" is vague. \"Chubby orange tabby with green eyes, white chest patch, round face, always slightly smug expression\" gives CellCog what it needs for consistency.\n\n2. **Plan your expressions upfront**: List all the expressions you want before generating. This helps CellCog plan the full set and avoid drift.\n\n3. **Specify the style clearly**: \"Kawaii\", \"flat design\", \"chibi anime\" — one clear style direction keeps the whole pack cohesive.\n\n4. **Include reference images when possible**: If you're making stickers from a pet photo, mascot design, or existing character, upload the reference. CellCog uses it to maintain likeness.\n\n5. **Think about readability at small sizes**: Stickers are viewed tiny. Bold outlines, simple shapes, and clear expressions read better than detailed illustrations.\n\n6. **Platform first**: Different platforms have wildly different requirements. \"For WhatsApp\" vs. \"For Discord\" changes dimensions, format, and file size targets. Always specify.\n"
