# Sticker Generator - One Character, Twenty Expressions, Perfect Consistency

**One character. Twenty expressions. Every sticker looks like the same person.** That's the hard part — and that's what CellCog does better than anyone.

Generating 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.

CellCog maintains character identity across every single generation, delivers with transparent backgrounds, and packages everything for your target platform — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, or iMessage.

## How to Use

For your first CellCog task in a session, read the **cellcog** skill for the full SDK reference — file handling, chat modes, timeouts, and more.

**OpenClaw (fire-and-forget):**
```python
result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    notify_session_key="agent:main:main",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)
```

**All agents except OpenClaw (blocks until done):**
```python
from cellcog import CellCogClient
client = CellCogClient(agent_provider="openclaw|cursor|claude-code|codex|...")
result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)
print(result["message"])
```

## Why Sticker Packs Are Hard

The challenge isn't making one sticker. It's making twenty that look like they belong together.

| The Problem | Why It's Hard | How CellCog Solves It |
|-------------|---------------|----------------------|
| **Character drift** | Each AI generation drifts slightly — different face shape, different proportions | CellCog's reference image threading maintains identity across all generations |
| **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 |
| **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 |
| **Transparent backgrounds** | Many AI models struggle with clean transparency | Dedicated transparent background model produces clean cutouts |
| **Platform formatting** | Each messaging platform has different size, format, and packaging requirements | Automatic conversion and optimization for WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, iMessage |

## Chat Mode for Sticker Packs

| Scenario | Recommended Mode |
|----------|------------------|
| Single sticker pack (10-20 stickers), emoji sets | `"agent"` |
| Multiple coordinated packs, brand sticker system, large sets (30+) | `"agent team"` |

**Use `"agent"` for most sticker work.** A single pack with 10-20 stickers executes well in agent mode.

**Use `"agent team"` for brand-level sticker systems** — when you need multiple packs that share a design language, or very large sets where consistency across 30+ stickers benefits from deeper creative planning.

## Tips for Better Sticker Packs

1. **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.

2. **Plan your expressions upfront**: List all the expressions you want before generating. This helps CellCog plan the full set and avoid drift.

3. **Specify the style clearly**: "Kawaii", "flat design", "chibi anime" — one clear style direction keeps the whole pack cohesive.

4. **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.

5. **Think about readability at small sizes**: Stickers are viewed tiny. Bold outlines, simple shapes, and clear expressions read better than detailed illustrations.

6. **Platform first**: Different platforms have wildly different requirements. "For WhatsApp" vs. "For Discord" changes dimensions, format, and file size targets. Always specify.
