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_prompt in 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_book in the card (field series part 4).

Don’t assume Chub UI labels = JSON keys 1:1—inspect the exported file.

Creation order that works

  1. Minimum viable: persona, greeting, scenario (personality / first_mes / scenario style content).
  2. Then add lore as entries (keyword-triggered snippets) instead of one giant blob.
  3. Export PNG, test in ST; drift → edit on site or edit JSON locally.

Backups and migration

  • Edit on siteexport the latest PNG.
  • Edit locally → use Sillycard on macOS to avoid hand-editing JSON blindly.
