    Moving to Anima from Illustrious has been daunting due to its reliance upon lengthy natural language descriptions to get quality results, whereas with Illustrious you relied upon tags with highly defined concepts as "building blocks".

    I created this workflow to help me navigate this, by using a prompting category approach to get a better defined structure.

    Part of the reason for this approach is that I enjoy tweaking prompts and using wildcards, but natural language is easy to entangle. So by keeping it all segmented, it allows me to adjust segments of the prompt freely and without issue.

    Included with the workflow are some example wildcard files, which contain a small number of random prompts I generated with ChatGPT to help get started.

    v1.1 adds a number of automated and manual prompting toggles to improve user experience. Most notably, category headers no longer appear unless that category is actually used, and you can now disable them entirely if you want more manual control.
