Sticker Pack Directory Structure
<pack_dir>/
├── index.json # Pack metadata (only `title` is editable)
└── stickers/ # Put images here
├── 😄hello.png # Emoji in filename = explicit emoji
├── coffee.png # No emoji = auto-detected
└── animation.gif # Auto-converted to webm
Workflow: Generate → Publish
1. Create pack (first time only)
cd ~/Pictures/lynn-stickers
tsticker init -s regular -n 'lynn_stickers_by_<bot_name>' -t 'Lynn Stickers'
2. Generate stickers (create-sticker skill)
python3 /path/to/skills/skills/create-sticker/scripts/create_sticker.py "drinking bubble tea happily"
3. Copy approved stickers into pack
cp ~/stickers/drinking_bubble_tea.png ~/Pictures/lynn-stickers/stickers/🧋drinking_tea.png
Emoji prefix in filename sets the sticker's emoji. Without prefix, tsticker auto-selects.
4. Push to Telegram
cd ~/Pictures/lynn-stickers
tsticker push
⚠️ push overwrites the entire cloud pack with local files. Always sync first if cloud has changes you want to keep.
Notes
- Rate limited: ~2s per sticker operation
- Don't push too many stickers at once — errors break the flow, recover with
tsticker sync - Sticker types:
regular(static/animated),mask,custom_emoji - Supported formats: png, jpg, gif, webm, mov (auto-converted)
- Bot can only manage packs it created — losing the bot means manual management only
