What it does
Pick a character from a thumbnail-backed list, let semi-automatic tag completion fill in the rest, and send the assembled prompt straight to a local ComfyUI or Forge Neo backend — with support for refiners, regional conditioning, ControlNet/IPAdapter, ADetailer face fixing and an ONNX image tagger. It generates nothing itself: a working local image-generation stack is a prerequisite, and installation goes through npm. Default thumbnail lists target anime SDXL checkpoints, with an adult-content list among the alternatives. MIT.
