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.
