What it does
willibrandon-pixel-plugin connects Claude Code to Aseprite so solo game developers and retro-style creators can describe sprites, tiles, and animations in plain language and let the agent issue concrete editor commands. It targets the build phase when you need consistent pixel aesthetics, palette discipline, and dithering without becoming a full-time pixel artist. Animation and export hooks matter for indies shipping jam games or content products with a deliberate 8-bit look. Expect intermediate complexity: you need Aseprite installed and enough art direction to critique what the agent produces. The plugin is phase-specific creative tooling, not distribution, analytics, or infra. Use it while prototyping visuals or polishing asset pipelines; pair it with your engine import steps separately.
