Chub.ai character cards: system prompt and character book (lorebook) basics
People searching chub ai character system prompt, chub ai character book, or character creation often ask: which UI boxes map to what in Silly Tavern / Character Card JSON?
Concept alignment
- System prompt–like content may map to global/system instruction areas—often related to
system_promptin Character Card V2—or to how the site exports into the bundle. Depends on export + ST version. - Character book lines up with community lorebook / World Info talk; in V2 it’s the embedded
character_bookin the card (field series part 4).
Don’t assume Chub UI labels = JSON keys 1:1—inspect the exported file.
Creation order that works
- Minimum viable: persona, greeting, scenario (
personality/first_mes/scenariostyle content). - Then add lore as entries (keyword-triggered snippets) instead of one giant blob.
- Export PNG, test in ST; drift → edit on site or edit JSON locally.
Backups and migration
- Edit on site → export the latest PNG.
- Edit locally → use Sillycard on macOS to avoid hand-editing JSON blindly.
