What it does
Sprite Animation is an agent skill from sanqiufong/slides-from-anything. A pixel / sprite-style animated explainer slide — full-bleed cream stage, bold display year, animated pixel-art mascot (e.g. Hanafuda card, mushroom, or 8-bit console), kinetic Japanese display type, ticking timeline ribbon. Reads like a single frame of an educational motion video — looping CSS keyframes, no JS, ready to be screen-recorded into a vertical video. Use when the brief asks for a "sprite animation", "pixel-art video", "8-bit explainer", "history of X explainer", "kinetic typography history"…
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.
It sits in Game Development, covering Sprites and pixel art and Motion graphics. The repository describes itself as: Turn anything into slides. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The brief asks for a sprite animation
- Pixel-art video
- 8-bit explainer
- History of X explainer
Example prompts
- “sprite animation”
- “pixel-art video”
- “8-bit explainer”
- “/sprite-animation”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the active DESIGN.md (injected above). Pick the loudest serif
- Pick the topic from the brief (e.g. "Nintendo · 1889 — Hanafuda").
- Stage — full-bleed cream / off-white background (#f5efe2) with a
- Top bar — small mono row
- Subject animations — at least three independent looping animations
- Caption block — small mono caption explaining the trivia
- Write a single HTML document
- Self-check
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 65da4ac. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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 Animation loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 143 tokens; SKILL.md has 397 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.

Sprite Animation Skill
Produce a single animated frame of an educational explainer — the kind you might screen-record into a vertical video. Pixel-art mascots, big year display, looping CSS animations, kinetic Japanese / English display type.
Workflow
- Read the active DESIGN.md (injected above). Pick the loudest serif token for the year, a sturdy sans for headlines, and a mono token for timeline / index labels.
- Pick the topic from the brief (e.g. "Nintendo · 1889 — Hanafuda"). You always need: a year, a one-line headline, an animated subject (a pixel sprite — character, object, or icon), and a short caption.
- Stage — full-bleed cream / off-white background (
#f5efe2) with a subtle paper grain. Keep margins generous; this is one beat of a video. - Top bar — small mono row:
- Left: title slug ("名次の/番組" or "EP. 01 / NINTENDO")
- Right: progress dots ("01 / 12") and a "REC" stamp
- Subject animations — at least three independent looping animations
on the page:
- Big year: the headline year (e.g. "1889年") fills the lower-left, in a serif display weight. It has a subtle vertical glitch / scanline animation (clip-path keyframes), and a 1-frame "pop" every loop.
- Pixel sprite card: a 96×128 pixel-art card or character (use an
inline SVG with crisp
shape-rendering: crispEdgesrectangles, or abox-shadowpixel grid). Subtle bobbing animation (±4px, 1.6s). - Kinetic kana: 1–2 Japanese / kanji characters that fade-and-slide in sync with the bob (e.g. "花" — hana — flower).
- Tick ribbon: bottom of the stage, a tape/ribbon with year ticks (1889 · 1907 · 1949 · 1977 · 1985 · 2006 · 2017) sliding left at a slow constant speed.
- Caption block — small mono caption explaining the trivia: "Nintendo started as a Hanafuda playing-card maker in Kyoto, 1889. Mario didn't show up for another ninety-six years."
- Write a single HTML document:
<!doctype html>through</html>, CSS inline, no external JS.- All animations use
@keyframes+animation: ... infinite. - Stage uses a fixed canvas ratio (e.g. 16:9 letterboxed) so the loop reads as a single frame from a video.
data-od-idon stage, year, sprite, caption, and tick ribbon.
- Self-check:
- The page is one cohesive scene, not a collage. The eye lands on the year first, then the sprite, then the caption.
- At least 3 independent looping animations are visible.
- The color palette is restrained (cream + a single accent red + ink).
- No external assets — all sprites are inline SVG or CSS.
