SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires Pillow, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Hatch Pet provides an end-to-end workflow to create Codex-compatible animated pets, validate them, QA visually, and package them into a deployable atlas, from concepts, brand cues, or reference images.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic base-pet generation and 9-state row pipeline, including layout guides and canonical base references.
  • Brand-aware styling with pet-safe constraints, chroma-key operations, and consistent identity across all frames.
  • Integrated QA, atlas validation, contact sheet creation, and final packaging for deployment.

Quick Start

Run the hatch-pet workflow using a brand cue or reference image to generate and package a Codex-pet atlas.

Frequently Asked Questions about hatch-pet

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate animated pet spritesheets from a concept image?▼

You can generate animated pet spritesheets by feeding brand cues or reference images into the workflow, which outputs a Codex-compatible 8x9 atlas with transparent unused cells, layout guides, and deterministic row generation.

How do I prepare a chroma-key spritesheet for Codex deployment?▼

To prepare a chroma-key spritesheet for Codex deployment, the workflow handles chroma-key operations and applies pet-safe brand constraints to ensure consistent identity across all frames before final packaging.

Does the spritesheet generation pipeline support deterministic frame layout?▼

The spritesheet generation pipeline supports deterministic frame layout by enforcing a 9-state row generation pipeline with canonical base references and integrated layout guides for production-grade consistency.

Can I use Pillow for asset-pipeline validation and contact sheet creation?▼

You can use Pillow for asset-pipeline validation and contact sheet creation, as the workflow leverages it to perform integrated QA, atlas validation, and final asset organization for deployment.

What is the best way to package a 9-state pet atlas with transparent unused cells?▼

The best way to package a 9-state pet atlas with transparent unused cells is using this automated workflow, which validates the 8x9 grid layout, applies chroma-key handling, and organizes assets for production deployment.

When should I not use automated spritesheet generation for brand-inspired assets?▼

You should not use automated spritesheet generation for brand-inspired assets if your project requires non-deterministic frame variations or lacks clear brand cues, as the workflow enforces strict pet-safe constraints and canonical base references.
