Milvus Meme Sticker

Milvus Meme Sticker

Create original sticker-style memes for technical marketing moments. The output should feel like something people would send in a developer WeChat group: compact, expressive, funny, emotionally resonant, and safe to publish because it does not reuse existing meme templates, celebrities, screenshots, anime, or other IP.

Read references/style-guide.md before generating the first sticker in a session.

Workflow

1. Identify the emotion from the source paragraph or user request: overwhelmed, confused, relieved, proud, shocked, exhausted, or "why is this so hard?".
2. Generate three square variants first unless the user asks for one exact direction.
3. Use an abstract Milvus bird/eagle mascot as the recurring character, not a logo copy.
4. Keep the image text-free. No captions, labels, letters, UI words, fake code snippets, or speech bubbles with text.
5. Prefer a compact sticker composition with a clear silhouette and large readable facial expression.
6. Save the best or selected source image at high resolution, then run scripts/resize_sticker.py to export true sticker sizes.
7. Insert or deliver the small exported image, not only the large generation.

Prompt Rules

Use prompts like this, adapting only the emotion and scene:

Square 1:1 sticker-style meme illustration, no text, no letters, no captions.Original abstract mascot inspired by a Milvus-like bird/eagle, simplified andnot copying any exact logo. The character has a light body with only partialsoft blue accents, a non-blue beak and mouth, oversized expressive eyes, and afunny exaggerated [EMOTION] expression.
Scene: [SCENE]. Developer-group chat sticker vibe, hand-drawn, thick cleanoutline, white sticker border, compact composition readable at small size.Use a light-blue accent palette with colorful secondary accents; do not makethe whole character blue. No real brands, no existing meme templates, nocelebrities, no screenshots, no IP characters, no text anywhere.

Style Guardrails

• Keep the mascot abstract: bird/eagle-inspired, rounded and sticker-like, not a realistic animal and not a copy of any official mark.
• Use light blue as an accent, not as a full-body flood. Avoid blue teeth, blue mouth interiors, or an all-blue face that loses expression.
• Make the beak, mouth, eyes, sweat, and emotion marks clearly separated in color and value.
• Favor expressive face and body posture over detailed props.
• Use props only when they explain the pain point: documents, connector plugs, database cylinders, cloud buckets, chat bubbles, tickets, code brackets.
• Avoid text because this sticker must travel across languages and stay legible at tiny sizes.
• Avoid photorealism, 3D toy rendering, glossy mascot branding, and polished corporate illustration. It should feel like a hand-drawn sticker meme.

Small-Size Export

Generated images are usually too large to feel like real stickers. Always create small derivatives after generation:

python3 scripts/resize_sticker.py path/to/source.png --out-dir path/to/output-dir

Defaults create:

• 512x512 for article insertion when some detail should remain visible.
• 240x240 for WeChat-style sticker main image scale.
• 120x120 for thumbnail checks.
• 50x50 for tiny panel legibility checks.

Use the smallest version that still reads in context. For Markdown articles, prefer 240x240 or 512x512 plus explicit display sizing if needed.

Quality Check

Before showing the final result, inspect the image and verify:

• No visible text or pseudo-text.
• The mascot is not entirely blue.
• The mouth, beak, eyes, and expression are readable.
• The emotion is obvious even at 240x240.
• The sticker silhouette is compact and not too busy.
• The image does not resemble a known meme template, celebrity, anime, or existing IP character.
