What it does
Game Character Sprites is an agent skill from tachikomared/character-animation-creator-skill. Create game-ready fixed-cell pixel-art character spritesheets from text concepts, reference images, or existing character art. Use when Codex needs to design, generate, clean up, validate, and package 2D game characters with native 32x32, 64x64, or 128x128 cells; 4-way or 8-way directions; idle, walk/run, jump, attack, archer, caster, or other animation strips; transparent GIF/WebP previews; and per-direction targeted regeneration.
Its SKILL.md is about 5.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 19 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/sheet-spec.md`).
It sits in Game Development, covering Sprites and pixel art. The repository describes itself as: Character Animation Creator Skill for Codex and GPT Web Agent — generates game-ready animations and sprites from reference images or text prompts.
When your agent uses it
- Codex needs to design
- Package 2D game characters with native 32x32
- 8-way directions
- Other animation strips
Example prompts
- “/game-character-sprites”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
12 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Establish the requested scope: cell size or sizes, actions, directions, frame count, weapon/class, and must-keep reference details. Treat…
- Ground the character from the user reference. If the image tool cannot consume the file path, use the attached image from chat context; if…
- Create run/run-manifest.json before generation. Record the reference source, identity details, requested scope, and planned generation…
- Build one strong canonical base sprite first for the smallest requested size, usually 32x32, so the primary design is locked before adding…
- Generate one action-direction-size strip at a time, e.g. 32/walk-south, then 64/walk-south, then 128/walk-south.
- For multi-size jobs, each requested size must have its own imagegen output file. Do not use one imagegen contact sheet as the source for…
- Record every generated strip in run/run-manifest.json with method: "imagegen", cell size, action, direction, imagegen output path, source…
- Assemble strips with scripts/assemble_action_sheet.py.
- Clean with scripts/pixel_snap.py using chroma-key cleanup.
- Validate geometry, residue, and motion with scripts/validate_sheet.py and scripts/audit_sprite_motion.py.
- For multi-size jobs, validate resolution hierarchy with scripts/validate_resolution_hierarchy.py.
- Export previews with scripts/export_animation_previews.py.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9ce98df. 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
Ships 10 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
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
Game Character Sprites loads about 5.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,333 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,333 words (~5,720 tokens).
“Use this skill to make game-ready fixed-cell pixel-art character animations. If the user names cell sizes, those sizes are the required output scope. If no size is named, default to 64x64.”
