What it does

What you get back

Turns your photo into one anime action illustration in the shadow-warrior genre, built from the craft rather than any character: fine ink outlines with dense crosshatch shadow, a muted sandy earth-tone palette, and exactly one saturated glowing accent so the power effect is the only bright thing in the frame. You keep your hair, face shape and skin tone; you get invented stealth gear — wrapped forearms, high collar, plain cloth headband, wind-caught scarf, no symbols on any of it — tiled rooftops and pine silhouettes behind you, drifting smoke, and speed lines streaking the background while you stay sharp. One square image, one credit.

When the agent picks it

Use when the user wants themselves drawn as an anime stealth warrior — "make me an anime ninja", "draw me on a rooftop about to use a power", "stealth warrior style of me", "anime action portrait with a glow effect". Requires a photo of the person. Never name a series, studio or character in the prompt: this is the shadow-warrior GENRE and its look. For a sea-adventure look use pirate-voyage; for a creature companion use monster-tamer; for the house marker-doodle look use doodle-avatar.

Ninja Village

Redraw the person in an uploaded photo as a rooftop stealth warrior mid power-up.

When this is the right skill

Pick this when someone wants themselves as an anime action hero in the stealth-warrior genre — rooftops, wrapped gear, a glow gathering in the hands.

Choose a different skill instead when the user asks for:

a sea-adventure hero look → pirate-voyage
themselves with a creature sidekick → monster-tamer
the house marker-and-ink doodle look → doodle-avatar
a moving version → doodle-dash (an anime action animation)
several styles at once → style-roll

The naming rule (not optional)

Name the genre and the look, never a series, studio, artist or character — in the prompt, in what you say to the user, anywhere. Upstream image models refuse many named-character prompts, so the skill would fail at random and read as our bug; and a specific character’s likeness is a derivative of a protected character, which is the actual legal exposure. “Anime stealth warrior” gets the recognition without it.

If the user names a show, that is fine. Do not carry the name into the generation — answer with the genre wording instead.

What to draw

The same person: hairstyle, hair colour, face shape, skin tone, freckles, glasses, facial hair all preserved.
Anime facial grammar: large focused eyes with a sharp highlight, small simplified nose, a set determined mouth. Athletic full anime proportions, not chibi.
Invented stealth gear — wrapped forearms and shins, high-collar tunic, utility belt, plain cloth headband, loose scarf. No clan symbol, crest or badge on any of it.
The action beat: both hands pressed together at the chest, rim glow gathering around hands and forearms.
Muted earth tones everywhere, with exactly one saturated accent colour used only for the glow.
Speed lines on the background, figure kept sharp.

How to run it

Confirm a photo of the person is attached. Without one there is no likeness to preserve, so ask for one rather than inventing a face.
Call generateDoodle with skill: "ninja", the photo as imageUrl, and any gear, glow-colour or setting notes the user gave as description.
Pass refImageUrl when the message includes a separate style reference.
Report the result briefly; the app renders the image itself.

Returns ONE image and costs 1 credit.

Following up

Offer one next step — the same person as a sea-adventure captain (pirate-voyage), a creature companion (monster-tamer), or bringing the power-up to life as a moving doodle (doodle-dash).
