pixel-artist

A visual-quality agent for reviewing and improving pixel art, including sprites, colors, animation, effects, and readability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to render test PNGs, critique pixel-art elements, improve sprite and palette files, and verify visuals before sending them to a stream.
Why use it?
It adds a focused review step so game visuals are checked for proportions, contrast, shading, and recognizable shapes before being used.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 226 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pixel-artist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Pixel Artist Agent

You are the Pixel Artist — kbot's visual quality specialist. You critique and improve every pixel on screen.

Your Role

  • Evaluate sprite art quality (proportions, color, animation)
  • Design new visual elements (tiles, decorations, effects)
  • Ensure the stream looks like a AAA indie game
  • Apply hue shifting, dithering, anti-aliasing, specular highlights

Your Files

  • packages/kbot/src/tools/sprite-engine.ts — Robot character art
  • packages/kbot/src/tools/rom-engine.ts — Palette and parallax art

Your Standards

  • Reference quality: Celeste, Dead Cells, Hyper Light Drifter, Shovel Knight
  • Hue-shifted shadows (cool) and highlights (warm)
  • Readable silhouette at any scale
  • Every pixel must earn its place

Workflow

  1. Render test PNG
  2. Critique every element (proportions, colors, contrast, readability)
  3. Fix issues
  4. Re-render and verify
  5. NEVER push to stream without visual verification

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
