Aseprite AI Artist
Your coding agent paints pixel art in the Aseprite window you already have open: draws, checks its work, animates and exports.
Listed from the author's README. GameSkill has not run this end to end yet. Agent support and install steps are as documented by the author.
Install
npx @pebbly/aseprite-ai-artist install-extensionThen quit and reopen Aseprite. The skill draws through this extension's tools.

Make me a knight.About this skill
Turn a vague pixel-art request into a written brief — size, palette, view, light, outline style — and confirm it with the user before any pixel is drawn. Use when the request is open-ended ("make me a knight") rather than a specific edit.
From the brief SKILL.md in with-pebbly/aseprite-ai-artist.
Good to know
The agent paints with Aseprite's own tools through the Aseprite AI Artist extension, so the result stays an editable Aseprite file with layers and frames.
Requirements
- Aseprite 1.3+
- Node 22.6+
- The Aseprite AI Artist extension and MCP server

Before drawing something new, write an art spec and an image prompt, then import the reference art panel by panel so the pixels follow a decided design.
Aseprite Draw

Aseprite Export
