SUMMARY

Generate clean 2D game sprites & animation atlases — component-row pipeline: state rows, alpha cleanup, frame extraction, runtime atlases. Codex/Claude skill.

README.md

sprite-gen

English · 한국어

A Codex/Claude skill for generating clean 2D game sprites and animation atlases with a component-row pipeline — and a standalone webview for reviewing, curating, and fixing the frames before they bake.

sprite-request.json → layout guides + prompts → image-gen state rows
→ chroma alpha → connected components → transparent frames
→ sprite-sheet-alpha.png + manifest.json.frame_layout

Example output

Sprites generated and curated with this skill (claudecy, howl):

Curation webview

After frames are extracted, launch a standalone local webview to review them — no Studio or framework dependency, so it runs anywhere the skill is installed (Claude Code Desktop, the Codex app, a plain terminal).

curation webview — characters

  • Compare frames side by side per state, and select / reject individual frames.
  • Non-destructive transform per frame: drag = move, wheel = scale, top handle = rotate, bottom-left handle = shear. Edits are saved to a curation.json sidecar — the source PNGs are never rewritten, and the compose step bakes the result deterministically. Preview (CSS + canvas) and bake share one affine matrix, so what you align is what you get.
  • Live preview animates the selected frames at the state's fps.

Isometric ground grid

For isometric sets, the webview overlays the floor grid (from meta.json tile/anchor) so you can snap furniture to the diamond axes with the shear handle.

Languages

The webview ships with English and Korean. Pass --lang en|ko when launching, or use the in-app toggle:

python3 scripts/serve_curation.py --run-dir <run-dir> --lang en   # or ko

Quickstart

# 1. prepare a run from a base image
python3 scripts/prepare_sprite_run.py --out-dir <run-dir> --character-id <id> --base-image base.png

# 2. generate one row image per state with image-gen, save as raw/<state>.png
# 3. extract frames
python3 scripts/extract_sprite_row_frames.py --run-dir <run-dir>

# 4. (optional) curate frames in the webview
python3 scripts/serve_curation.py --run-dir <run-dir>

# 5. bake the runtime atlas
python3 scripts/compose_sprite_atlas.py --run-dir <run-dir>

Editing a finished sheet

When only the combined sheet survives, rebuild a curator-ready run dir, then curate and export:

# rebuild frames: explicit --grid, --manifest rectangles, or alpha auto-detect (default)
python3 scripts/unpack_atlas_run.py --atlas sheet.png            # auto-detect
python3 scripts/unpack_atlas_run.py --manifest manifest.json     # exact rectangles
python3 scripts/unpack_atlas_run.py --pngs-dir furniture/        # import a loose PNG set

# after curating, bake corrections back to named PNGs
python3 scripts/export_curated_pngs.py --run-dir <run-dir>

Output defaults to a findable <source>-curator folder next to the input.

The full agent-facing workflow and contracts live in SKILL.md.

Install

From Codex skill installer workflows, install this repository as a root skill:

Attribution

The component-row workflow is inspired by the Apache-2.0 licensed hatch-pet skill, but targets generic game sprite atlases and includes no pet packages or pet visual assets.
