What problem does it solve?

PixelLab asset importing into Godot is error-prone and time-consuming when done manually. This skill automates the process, ensuring assets are downloaded, named, organized, and tracked with consistent metadata and a master manifest.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated asset import: downloads PixelLab base sprites and animations, organizes them into the Godot-friendly folder structure, and generates per-character _meta.json metadata.
• Manifest and metadata management: updates res://assets/sprites/characters/manifest.json with new entries and keeps character metadata in _meta.json for tracking art status, role, and tags.
• Batch and single imports: supports importing a single character or a batch of characters, with optional integration of additional scripts/references/assets as needed.
• Use Case: A game artist wants to bring a PixelLab character into a Godot project and have the folders, names, and metadata ready for immediate use in the engine.

Quick Start

Import a PixelLab character named Bandit Thug into Godot. The skill creates the proper folder path, downloads assets, generates metadata files, and updates the master manifest. After import, open Godot to review the new character assets and run helpers to generate SpriteFrames if needed.
