Alano Mascot

Use this suite to produce Alano artwork without character drift. Every generation must stay anchored to bundled canonical reference images and fixed brand rules.

Locate this skill

Resolve `SKILL_DIR` as the directory containing this `SKILL.md`. All `references/`, `scripts/`, and `assets/` paths below are relative to `SKILL_DIR`. Run scripts from the user's project root so generated files land under that project's `output/` directory.

Route the request

1. Read `references/brand.md` before any visual generation.

2. Then read only the relevant workflow:

- Still, pose, costume, badge, or icon: `references/image-generation.md`

- Animation or raw video clip: `references/video-generation.md`

- Square crop, seamless loop, poster, compression, or manifest: `references/video-postprocess.md`

- Transparent still or background removal: `references/cutout.md`

3. Use bundled scripts rather than recreating API or post-processing logic.

Core commands

From project root, replace `<SKILL_DIR>` with resolved absolute path:

```bash

Generate selected stills or badges.

SEEDANCE_API_KEY="<runtime key>" \

SEEDREAM_ONLY="wave" \

node <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/generate-alano-images.mjs

Generate selected raw clips.

SEEDANCE_API_KEY="<runtime key>" \

SEEDANCE_ONLY="idle" \

node <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/generate-alano-videos.mjs

Finish raw clips already in output/video/raw/.

node <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/postprocess-alano-clips.mjs idle

Produce transparent WebP from a flat-background still.

python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/cutout_alano.py output/stills/wave.png

```

Set `ALANO_OUTPUT_DIR=/absolute/path` to override default output root (`$PWD/output`).
