# DAS-ACT-0001 Yumi Character Package v1.0

Streamlined **Yumi-only** Character DAS for consistent AI rendering.

## New here?

Start with **[GETTING_STARTED.md](GETTING_STARTED.md)** - plain-language walkthrough for first-time users.

## What is in this package

| File | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `GETTING_STARTED.md` | **Start here** - step-by-step for end users |
| `DAS-ACT-0001-Yumi.json` | Machine-readable character spec (identity, wardrobe, generation templates) |
| `Yumi_Design_Book_v1.html` | Human-readable design rules - **Print → PDF** in your browser |
| `reference_registry.json` | All 8 official reference images with attach order and priority tiers |
| `Yumi_Prompt_Pack_v2.txt` | Copy-paste prompt reference |
| `yumi-builder/` | 3-step wizard: refs → customize canonical rows → ship complete package to AI |

## Quick start

1. Read **GETTING_STARTED.md** or use the Builder wizard tabs.
2. Open **yumi-builder/index.html** in a browser (hosted URL recommended).
3. **Step 1:** Select official refs and optional custom extras.
4. **Step 2:** Customize pose, expression, scene, camera look, and canonical inventory (Match / Gone / Instead).
5. **Step 3:** Download zip and/or contact sheet **first**, attach images in your AI tool, then copy or save the text package and paste.
6. Save good outputs; attach them **in addition to** official refs on your next shot.

**Camera & photo look:** Default preset fights beauty-filter smoothing (common in Meta AI). Change for selfie, film, B&W, or vintage looks.

If your AI tool limits attachments, use Critical refs first (portrait, front, detail, expressions) - see Advanced in the Builder.

## Lite vs full zip

- **Lite:** JSON, Design Book, Builder, text files (~small download).
- **Full:** Everything in lite plus bundled canonical reference PNGs in `references/` for offline use.

## Running the Builder locally

The Builder loads JSON via `fetch()`. Opening `index.html` directly from `file://` may block requests in some browsers.

**Options:**
- Use the hosted copy at `https://jhvinylshop.com/jhvs_yumi_das/yumi-builder/`
- Run a simple local server from this folder, for example:
  - Python: `python -m http.server 8080`
  - Then open `http://localhost:8080/yumi-builder/`

## Locked vs flexible

**Locked:** face, hair, skin landmarks (beauty marks, freckles), body proportions, canonical wardrobe rows set to Match.

**Flexible:** pose, expression, framing, location, scene, lighting, background, camera/photo look, Gone/Instead deviations, custom refs, props.

The Absolute Truth portrait is an **identity anchor**, not a pose lock.

## Site deployment

Upload this package to `public_html/jhvs_yumi_das/` on jhvinylshop.com. See `UPLOAD-README.txt` for the exact folder layout.
