# Pixel Art Studio Programmatic pixel art creation with palette discipline, dithering, animation, and automated quality control. Designed for **production-quality output**, not "look-pixelated filter on a photo." ## When to use this skill | User says | What to do | |---|---| | "make a pixel art X" / "create a sprite" | [Static sprite workflow](#workflow-1-single-frame-sprite) | | "animate this", "walk cycle", "idle animation" | [Animation workflow](#workflow-2-animation) | | "convert this image to pixel art", "pixelate this" | [Preprocessing workflow](#workflow-3-image-to-pixel-art) | | "generate sprite sheet" | [Sprite sheet workflow](#workflow-4-sprite-sheet) | | "review this pixel art / score it" | [Quality review workflow](#workflow-5-quality-review) | | "show palette options" / "use Endesga 64" | [Palette browsing](#palette-management) | If user provides only a vague description ("a cat sprite"), pick the **standard sprite workflow** with **32×32 + Endesga 32 palette** as the safe default, then offer to iterate. --- ## Prerequisites ```bash pip install Pillow numpy # Optional but recommended for advanced quality checks: pip install scikit-image scipy ``` `Pillow` is **mandatory**; `numpy` is mandatory; the rest are optional (the scripts will degrade gracefully). --- ## Core principle: design discipline > pixel quantity A 16×16 sprite with deliberate cluster choices reads better than a 64×64 with random pixel noise. **Always start from the smallest grid that co...
