pixel-facelisted

Create or improve a 32×32 pixel-art persona face for the Frontier Faces demo (examples/04-frontier-faces/personas.mjs) — the animated agent avatars rendered by face-term.mjs / the browser <cotal-face> / the gallery. Use when the user asks to add a new persona/face/avatar, improve an existing one (hair, eyes, likeness, expression), make it "look more like" someone, or fix a face that "doesn't read". Drives the example's own tools (img2rows.mjs, render-png.mjs) and follows FACE-DESIGN.md; uses a multi-agent variant loop for likeness.

# pixel-face — author & refine the Frontier Faces pixel art A persona face is pure data in **`examples/04-frontier-faces/personas.mjs`** (one entry per persona). The same data drives the terminal renderer (`face-term.mjs`), the browser element (`web/cotal-face.js`), and the PNG tool — so edit `personas.mjs` once and it's live everywhere. **Always work from `examples/04-frontier-faces/`.** ## Where things are - `personas.mjs` — the entries (rows, colors, glow, mouths, expr, eyes, lines). Single source of truth. - `FACE-DESIGN.md` — the full conventions (grid zones, color keys, eye recipe, visemes). **Read it first.** - `tools/img2rows.mjs` — rough a reference photo into a 32×32 `rows`+palette. - `tools/render-png.mjs` — render a 7-state contact sheet (PNG) for review. **This is the validator.** - `tools/face-template.mjs` — copy-me starter entry that encodes the conventions. - `gallery.html` (all personas, original-vs-pixel) and `preview.html?p=<key>` (one persona) — served via `python3 -m http.server` or `tools/serve-wall.mjs`; for visual QA. - `assets/<persona-key>.<ext>` — reference photos. **Gitignored / local-only — never commit them.** **Persona key ≠ agent name.** The roster uses agent-file basenames; the face comes from each agent's `face:` frontmatter: `elon`→`musk`, `steve`→`jobs`, `rayan`→`ray` (others match). Persona keys: `neon david ray sven garry jobs musk dario mira bernie michelle`. ## Conventions (condensed — full detail in FACE-DESIGN.md) - **Grid 32×3
