What it does
Sprite Sheet Pipeline is an agent skill from LayrKits/Sprite-Pipeline. Guide an AI assistant through this repo's 2D animation sprite-sheet workflow. Use when creating animation-safe character image prompts, writing image-to-video prompts, extracting frames from animation videos, matting backgrounds, building and validating horizontal 256 x 256 sprite sheets, promoting final outputs, or explaining game integration.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Game Development, covering Sprites and pixel art and AI video generation. The repository describes itself as: 2D Sprite Sheet Creation Pipeline.
When your agent uses it
- Creating animation-safe character image prompts
- Writing image-to-video prompts
- Extracting frames from animation videos
- Matting backgrounds
Example prompts
- “/sprite-sheet-pipeline”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Put one source animation video in Videos/ or Videos/To Be Processed/.
- Extract ordered PNG frames into work/extracted///.
- Matte light/off-white backgrounds into work/matted///
- Build a horizontal 256 x 256 sprite strip with
- Review the preview PNG, individual cleaned frames, and JSON report.
- Run node tools/serve_sprite_viewer.mjs and open the generated sheet with
- If vertical or horizontal alignment ran, open the server-hosted alignment
- Promote only approved sheets and matching cell frames into
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df08816. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
node
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Sprite Sheet Pipeline loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 747 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 747 words (~1,491 tokens).
