Festive Halloween Portrait

Q: Ask: One photo in, a Halloween card out. Apparently the after-hours dress code changed. A: Get: Upload one clear adult photo. Add a description for costume, setting, or scene details. Q: Ask: What lands in the frame? A: Get: A festive Halloween portrait with costume touches, glowing pumpkins, and an autumn-night backdrop. Q: Ask: Any setup notes? A: Get: A visible face works best. Every output stays in a 3:4 portrait frame, even with a wider source photo.

# Festive Halloween Portrait

One tap from everyday photo to Halloween card: costume touches, glowing pumpkins and an autumn-night backdrop.

## When to use

- The user wants a quick festive Halloween portrait from their photo (Halloween costume portrait, spooky-cute seasonal photo)
- A variation on a previous result: a stronger style intensity

Not for: Video output (use a video skill).

## Inputs and gates

| Input | Required | Default | Gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photo | Yes | — | One adult with the face clearly visible. Ask for another photo if the face is tiny, blurred, heavily covered or in profile |
| Description | No | tuned default below | What the user wants; merged into the prompt |
| Orientation | No | `3:4` portrait | Other ratios on request |

- If the person may be under 18, stop and decline politely. Real-person photos must be of adults the user has the right to use.
- Fashion, dark and horror themes are fine as stills; refuse explicit sexual content and anything sexualizing minors.

## Steps

1. Read `references/image-edit.md` for prompt structure.
2. **Identity read**: `recognize_image(image_url=<photo>, prompt='Describe this adult for identity preservation: face shape, eye shape and color, brows, nose, lips, skin tone, apparent age range, hair color and length, distinctive marks, glasses. One compact line.')`.
3. **Generate**: `generate_image(prompt=<PROMPT>, input_urls=[photo], model='i2i.hd', orientation='portrait', aspect_ratio='3:4', name='Festive Halloween Portrait', entity_type='skill_generation')`. Merge the user's details and options into the template.
4. **Self-check, one retry**: look at the result. If a person photo was used and the face no longer reads as the same person, regenerate with the identity clause first. If someone glancing at it would not instantly see the intended change (it reads as a light filter, the old clothes or background remain, or the style is faint), regenerate once with the change described bigger and more concretely.
5. Reply in one or two sentences, e.g. "All set. Your festive halloween portrait is on the canvas. Next I can do a stronger style intensity." Results appear on the canvas; never paste URLs.

## Prompt templates

**PROMPT**

```text
The same adult from the reference: <identity line>. Same face structure, eyes, skin tone and recognizable likeness; no beautification or face reshaping. Intentional changes: a festive Halloween portrait: the person with tasteful costume touches, glowing jack-o'-lanterns, autumn leaves and a moonlit night backdrop. <user details and options>. Apply the style to the entire frame with its signature traits (medium, texture, palette, linework); the person stays recognizable under the style. Lighting and materials described concretely; composition suited to portrait 3:4. Photoreal unless the style says otherwise, fully clothed, no text unless requested.
```

Quality bar: Name the style's visual traits (medium, brushwork or render, palette, line quality) and apply them to the whole frame; keep the face's likeness readable under the style.

## Failure handling

- `success=false`: say what failed in one sentence; retry once only if transient; never invent links.
- The face changes: regenerate once with the identity clause first; then say so honestly.

## Examples

**Default**: the user says "this one" with a photo. Use the tuned defaults, 3:4. Reply: "All set. Your festive halloween portrait is on the canvas."
**Variation**: "next variation". Keep the same inputs and change one option (a stronger style intensity).
**Missing input**: no photo was sent. Ask: "Drop in one photo of yourself (face clearly visible) to get started."
