SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Corrects Windows path mangling and flag-ordering issues when using the sprite CLI and the sprites.dev API, preventing silent failures and misrouted commands.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Wrap commands in bash -c to ensure the remote shell parses arguments reliably.
  • Disable MSYS path conversion for API calls to preserve the intended URLs and paths.
  • Follow proper API argument ordering and provide safe guidance for common sprite operations on Windows.

Quick Start

Run a sample sprite command in Windows Git Bash to verify that path handling, API usage, and file uploads work correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions about sprites-dev

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

FAQPage Schema
Why does the sprite CLI mangle file paths on Windows Git Bash?▼

MSYS path conversion in Git Bash mangles Windows paths when invoking the sprite CLI. This Skill fixes path mangling by disabling MSYS conversion and wrapping commands in bash -c for reliable argument parsing.

How do I fix API argument ordering issues when using the sprites.dev CLI on Windows?▼

To fix sprites.dev API argument ordering on Windows, this Skill enforces correct argument sequencing and safe usage patterns, preventing silent failures and misrouted commands in Git Bash workflows.

Does the sprite CLI work with Windows Git Bash for uploading files and calling the API?▼

Yes, the sprite CLI works with Windows Git Bash for file uploads and API calls. This Skill ensures safe guidance by wrapping commands in bash -c and disabling MSYS path conversion to preserve intended URLs.

What is the best way to prevent silent failures when running sprite commands on Windows?▼

The best way to prevent silent failures when running sprite commands on Windows is to disable MSYS path conversion for API calls and wrap commands in bash -c to ensure the remote shell parses arguments reliably.

When do I need to disable MSYS path conversion for the sprites.dev API?▼

You need to disable MSYS path conversion for the sprites.dev API when Git Bash automatically alters URLs and paths during API calls, which this Skill corrects to preserve the intended routing and prevent misrouted commands.

What are the limitations of using the sprite CLI on Windows without fixing path mangling?▼

Without fixing Windows path mangling, the sprite CLI experiences silent failures and misrouted commands. This Skill addresses these limitations by enforcing proper API argument ordering and safe Git Bash usage patterns.
