willibrandon-pixel-plugin is a Claude Code plugin that creates and animates pixel art in Aseprite through natural-language commands.
About
willibrandon-pixel-plugin connects Claude Code to Aseprite so 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.
- Natural-language control of Aseprite for pixel art creation
- Animation workflows with retro palettes and dithering support
- Export paths aimed at game engines, not flat PNG dumps only
- Single-plugin bundle (pluginCount: 1) for willibrandon/pixel-plugin
- Commands cover create, animate, and export via the plugin surface
