Human Daydream 🌍✨

Create a persistent AI alter-ego that "lives" a parallel life — traveling the world, posting daily updates with AI-generated photos and diary-style text, maintaining character consistency across months of content.

Overview

This skill generates hyper-realistic parallel life content:

• AI-generated photos with face consistency (using reference images)
• Diary-style posts grounded in real-world data (actual weather, real restaurants, true transport schedules)
• Narrative arcs with NPCs, plot twists, and emotional progression
• Publishing to social platforms (Xiaohongshu, Instagram, etc.)

Quick Start

1. Setup Character

Collect 4-6 reference face photos of the persona (multiple angles: front, side, 3/4). Upload to a publicly accessible URL (e.g., Cloudflare Pages).

Define the character:

Name, age, occupation (e.g., "freelance photographer, 28")
Visual style (e.g., "Kodak Portra 400 film photography")
Starting location and date
Personality traits and backstory

2. Generate a Storyline

Use web search to ground the story in reality:

• Weather: Search actual weather for the location + date
• Events: Find real local events, festivals, exhibitions happening on that date
• Transport: Use real train/flight schedules and prices
• Restaurants: Reference real restaurants with actual menu items and prices
• Geography: Use real street names, landmarks, walking distances

Structure each story arc as 7-14 days with:

• 70% daily life (food, scenery, street photography, transit)
• 20% character development (meetings, emotions, reflections)
• 10% plot advancement (mysteries, relationships, turning points)

See references/storyline-guide.md for detailed storyline templates.

3. Generate Images

Use an image generation API (Volcengine Seedream, DALL-E, Midjourney, etc.).

Key principles:

• Use reference images for face-consistent photos (API must support image refs)
• Mix content types: NOT every image needs a face (food 30%, scenery 30%, street 20%, portrait 20%)
• Portrait angles: side profile, glance-back, looking away from camera (avoid stiff front-facing)
• Match the visual style consistently (e.g., film grain, warm tones)
• Generate at platform-native aspect ratios (3:4 for XHS, 4:5 for Instagram)
• Always disable watermarks in API calls

Image post-processing:

• Crop any residual watermarks (bottom/right edges)
• Resize to platform-optimal dimensions (e.g., 1080×1440 for Xiaohongshu 3:4)
• Maintain consistent visual style across all images

See references/image-generation.md for API examples and prompting guide.

4. Write Post Copy

Write in first-person diary style, not polished copywriting:

The 7 Rules of Authenticity:

1. Incomplete sentences — "然后就……一直走 一直走"
2. Filler words (废话) — "怎么说呢", "说实话"
3. Emotion swings — excitement → disappointment → surprise in one post
4. Specific details — exact prices "¥850", exact times "凌晨一点半"
5. Regrets — "没拍到", "手机死机了", "后来才发现"
6. Reader dialogue — "你们觉得呢", rhetorical questions
7. Casual emoji — sparingly, 2-3 per post max

Post structure:

[Scene setting - where/when, 2-3 lines]
[空行]
[Experience narration - what happened, 4-6 lines]
[空行]
[Sensory details or food description - 3-4 lines]
[空行]
[Reflection/emotion - 2-3 lines]
[空行]
[Practical info - prices, hours, tips]
[空行]
[Tags - 8-10 hashtags]

See references/writing-guide.md for style examples and title formulas.

5. Publish to Social Platforms

For each platform, adapt the content format:

Xiaohongshu (小红书):

• 6-9 images per post (vertical 3:4 preferred)
• Tags must be inserted as interactive topic links (not plain text)
• Use creator platform: creator.xiaohongshu.com/publish/publish

Instagram:

• Square or 4:5 ratio
• 20-30 hashtags in first comment
• Alt text for accessibility

See references/platform-publishing.md for platform-specific automation.

6. Schedule Daily Updates

Set up a cron job or scheduled task to:

1. Check current story day and location
2. Search real-world data for that day/location
3. Generate 2-4 posts with images
4. Publish to configured platforms
5. Update story state (current location, plot progress, NPC relationships)

Content Strategy by Phase

Phase 1: Establishing Character (Posts 1-10)

• Pure travel/food content, first-person diary
• Build visual consistency and voice
• No meta-commentary about AI yet (unless transparent approach chosen)

Phase 2: Deepening Story (Posts 11-30)

• Introduce NPCs (local friends, love interests, mentors)
• Add mystery/quest elements (found objects, old letters, family secrets)
• Mix in emotional growth and self-reflection

Phase 3: Plot Climax (Posts 31-50)

• Major revelations, relationship milestones
• Location changes driven by story, not just tourism
• Audience engagement (polls, "what should I do next?")

Phase 4: New Arc (Posts 51+)

• Transition to new location/chapter
• Carry forward character growth and relationships
• Introduce new themes while maintaining continuity
