Edit Waifu

Mode A — Targeted Edit

The user knows exactly what to change: "换个开场白", "add a library scene", "她的性格太温柔了，改凶一点".

1. Identify the section(s) affected — map the request to specific file sections:

   • Personality/voice → 角色定义, 个性特质, 互动风格 in basics.md
   • Appearance → 外貌（不主动提及）in basics.md
   • Background → 背景介绍 in basics.md
   • Opening line → 开场白 in basics.md
   • Seed dialogue → 初始对话 in basics.md
   • Scene → the specific [scene-slug].md file
   • Image prompts → concept-arts.md in the character folder
   • World lore → world.md, factions.md, locations.md, timeline.md in the worldview folder

2. Show the current content of just that section (not the whole file)

3. Draft the replacement and show it as a diff-style before/after

4. Apply on confirmation — edit only the targeted section, leave everything else untouched

Mode B — Iteration ("this doesn't feel right")

The user is unhappy but vague. This is the most common case after a first creation pass.

1. Ask one focusing question — don't barrage them with five questions. Pick the most likely issue:

   • "哪里感觉不对？是性格太平、开场白没吸引力、还是整体方向不对？"
   • If they say "just make it better", propose 2–3 specific changes you'd make and why

2. Offer quick-swap options for the highest-leverage fields:

   • 2–3 alternative initial_message options (this changes perceived personality fastest)
   • 1–2 alternative seed_chat snippets
   • A revised personality angle if the archetype feels stale

3. Apply the user's choice, then ask if there's more to adjust

Mode C — Add Scene

1. Ask what situation/mood the scene should cover (or accept the user's description)
2. Draft using the four-field format:

   # [场景名称]
   
   **场景描述：** [one-line premise]
   
   **开场白：**
   "[opening line]"
   
   **场景内容：**
   [scene background — max 600 chars]
   

3. Save as worldview/[worldview-slug]/[character-slug]/[scene-slug].md
4. Optionally generate scene image prompts (ask if the user wants them) — append to concept-arts.md

Mode D — Expand Scene

An existing scene is too thin or the user wants more depth.

1. Read the current scene file
2. Identify what's underdeveloped — usually 场景内容 is too sparse or 开场白 is generic
3. Draft an expanded version:
   • Thicken 场景内容 with sensory details, character-specific reactions, environmental texture (stay within 600 char limit)
   • Rewrite 开场白 to be more in-character and situational
   • Refine 场景描述 if it's too vague
4. Show before/after, apply on confirmation

Mode E — Worldview Edit

User wants to modify world lore, factions, locations, or timeline.

1. Identify which worldview file(s) to edit
2. Follow world-building's principles:
   • 世界摘要 / World Abstract — if the edit changes the world's structural identity (new faction, shifted power balance, new core rule), rewrite the entire 世界摘要 to reflect the current state (≤300 chars, cap 500)
   • 世界概览 / World Overview — integrate new information by rewriting the overview paragraph to stay coherent (not append)
   • factions.md / locations.md / timeline.md — append or modify specific entries
   • Flag contradictions with <!-- ⚠️ 待协调：[issue] -->
   • Match the world's prose voice (cyberpunk ≠ xianxia ≠ modern)
3. If the change affects existing characters (e.g., a faction is renamed or dissolved), flag which character files need review
4. If 世界摘要 / World Abstract was rewritten, note that existing characters' basics.md Section 2 (世界观 / Worldview) may need updating (list affected characters but don't auto-edit without confirmation)

Cascading Changes

Some edits ripple outward. Handle these automatically:

Don't silently cascade — tell the user what else changed and why.

Regenerating Image Prompts

If appearance or outfit changed, the existing prompts in concept-arts.md are stale. Offer to regenerate:

1. Read the updated 外貌 and 个性特质 sections from basics.md
2. Follow waifu-generator's process: rebuild visual profile → base prompts → portraits → scene prompts
3. Replace concept-arts.md in the character folder
4. Keep the same platform(s) as before

If only a scene was added or changed, generate just the new scene prompts and append them to concept-arts.md.

Cross-Character Updates

If the edit changes a relationship or shared history with another character in the same worldview:

1. Identify affected characters from characters.md
2. Read their basics.md
3. Propose specific edits to their files (don't apply without showing the user)
4. Flag contradictions with <!-- ⚠️ 待协调：[issue] -->

Voice Consistency

After any edit to personality, background, or voice-related fields, do a quick consistency check:

• Does the 开场白 still sound like this character?
• Does the 初始对话 match the updated personality?
• Do scene 开场白s align with the character's voice?

If something is off, point it out and offer a fix. Don't silently let inconsistencies through.

After Editing

Report what changed:

✓ 已修改: [list of files and sections changed]
✓ 级联更新: [any cascading changes made]
⚠ 需要注意: [any flags or inconsistencies]

Ask if there's anything else to adjust. Editing is inherently iterative — expect multiple rounds.
