Skill instructions
Pixel Art Convert any image into retro pixel art, then optionally animate it into a short MP4 or GIF with era-appropriate effects (rain, fireflies, snow, embers). Two scripts ship with this skill: - scripts/pixelart.py — photo → pixel-art PNG (Floyd-Steinberg dithering) - scripts/pixelartvideo.py — pixel-art PNG → animated MP4 (+ optional GIF) Each is importable or runnable directly. Presets snap to hardware palettes when you want era-accurate colors (NES, Game Boy, PICO-8, etc.), or use adaptive N-color quantization for arcade/SNES-style looks. When to Use - User wants retro pixel art from a source image - User asks for NES / Game Boy / PICO-8 / C64 / arcade / SNES styling - User wants a short looping animation (rain scene, night sky, snow, etc.) - Posters, album covers, social posts, sprites, characters, avatars Workflow Before generating, confirm the style with the user. Different presets produce very different outputs and regenerating is costly. Step 1 — Offer a style Call clarify
