Pixel Art Exporter

Pixel Art Exporter is a skill for Claude Code from willibrandon/pixel-plugin. It costs 190 tokens per session (5,640 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An export tool for turning pixel art into files that games, websites, and applications can use. It supports PNG images, animated GIFs, sprite sheets, and JSON metadata describing the frames.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps export images and animations, create sprite sheets or texture atlases, add game-engine frame data, and scale pixel art without blurring it.
Why use it?
It removes the need to prepare each output format and frame layout by hand.

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 Art Exporter 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 1mo 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.

Pixel Art Exporter

Overview

The Pixel Art Exporter Skill enables exporting pixel art sprites from Aseprite to various formats optimized for different use cases. This includes single images (PNG), animated GIFs, spritesheets, and JSON metadata for game engines.

Core Capabilities:

  • Export single frames or entire animations as PNG images
  • Generate animated GIFs with customizable timing and looping
  • Create spritesheets in multiple layouts (horizontal, vertical, grid, packed)
  • Generate JSON metadata for game engines (Unity, Godot, Phaser, generic)
  • Scale exports with pixel-perfect upscaling (1x, 2x, 4x, etc.)
  • Handle transparency, background colors, and frame-specific exports

Export Formats Supported:

  • PNG: Single images or frame sequences with transparency
  • GIF: Animated GIFs with frame timing and loop control
  • Spritesheet: Texture atlases with various packing algorithms
  • JSON: Frame metadata, animation tags, layer information

This Skill works with the pixel-mcp server tools to produce production-ready assets for web, games, and applications.

When to Use

Invoke this Skill when the user:

  • Wants to export or save: "export this sprite", "save as PNG", "generate a spritesheet"
  • Mentions file formats: "PNG", "GIF", "spritesheet", "sprite sheet", "texture atlas", "JSON"
  • Prepares for game engines: "export for Unity", "Godot spritesheet", "Phaser animation"
  • Needs specific outputs: "export just frame 3", "create a tileset", "save each layer separately"
  • Requests scaling: "export at 2x size", "scale up 4x", "upscale for retina displays"
  • Wants animation exports: "make this into a GIF", "export the animation", "save all frames"
  • Needs metadata: "include JSON data", "export with coordinates", "frame information"

Example Triggers:

  • "Can you export this character sprite as a PNG?"
  • "I need a spritesheet for my game engine"
  • "Save this animation as an animated GIF"
  • "Export at 4x scale for high-resolution displays"
  • "Generate a texture atlas with JSON metadata"
  • "Export just the 'run' animation tag"

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.
