Generate game sprites, 8-direction turnarounds, walk-cycle sprite sheets, SVG characters, ASCII art and animated mascots from images or descriptions, with September 2026 providers: Retro Diffusion (pixel art, 8-dir rotation, frame animation, free palette tools), fal genmedia (GPT Image 2.5, Nano Banana 2, Kling 3, Seedance 2.5, Wan 3, Hailuo 03). Deterministic utilities: feet-line frame alignment, palette-preserving Scale2x/3x/4x pixel scaler, atlas manifest v2 with states/fps/loop/anchor…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Sprite Forge

Game-ready sprites from images or text, September 2026 edition. Five pipelines, two wired providers (Retro Diffusion, fal `genmedia`), and a profile runner so a project can declare its own pipeline.

**Cost rule:** every provider script is a free dry run until you pass `--yes`. Retro Diffusion runs `check_cost`; genmedia prints the exact command and price. Never add `--yes` on a user's behalf without stating the estimate.

## When to use

- Pixel-art characters, 8-direction rotations, animated frames from a start image
- Walk/idle/attack sprite sheets from video (first+last-frame loops)
- HD painted turnarounds via GPT Image 2.5 edits
- Upscaling indexed sprites without new colours (faithful-HD rule)
- Atlas metadata with states, fps, loop, anchor (Phaser/Godot/Flame/Aseprite)
- SVG mascots with GSAP, ASCII art, lil-agents dock videos (unchanged niche)

Not for: 3D generation (meshy skill), photoreal image editing (nano-banana-pro skill), generated sprites where original assets exist and parity is required (see `references/pipelines/open-rebellion.md`).

Work sequentially inside a pipeline; parallel agents only for independent characters.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tdimino/claude-code-minoan/sprite-forge@sha256:2bb85a0e9f928974

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.b55c1a9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
