What it does
Explicit-only last resort. Draws game art from code, with no image model - pixel sprites from a PixelSpec, flat vector props, UI and icons from portable SVG, rigged characters with planted feet, FX with a JS runtime, seam-proven autotiles, playable top-down layouts with collision, stylized parallax and ambient plate motion - palette-exact, with QA and review sheets. Use only when the user explicitly asks for code-drawn art, or when generate2dmedia route_media.py finds no image or video route (no-route, exit 3). Never the default - image generation (generate2dsprite, generate2dmap, video2dsprite) comes first for characters, props, maps and FX. Not for painterly, detailed or likeness art, HD-2D plates or realistic fire, smoke or water. Always disclose the result as code-drawn.
Code Art 2D
You write the art as text (PixelSpec JSON, portable SVG, rig, FX, material, layout or parallax
specs); the scripts render, check and package it. No image model is involved. It is a declared art
source (art_source: "code"), not a placeholder.
Use when
- The user explicitly asks for code-drawn art: a PixelSpec or SVG sprite, palette variants drawn in code, a code rig, code FX, a seam-proven autotile set, a code-made layout, stylized parallax or ambient loops.
route_media.pyprintsno-route(exit 3): no API key is configured and no local image or video route exists. Say so, and offer to add a key or a CLI as well.- Pose and layout guides that help an image model (support material, not final art).
Do not use when
- Any art request while an image or video route exists and the user did not ask for code art: generate2dsprite, generate2dmap or video2dsprite generate it.
- Painterly, organic or identity-rich art, likenesses, portraits, HD-2D plates or textured terrain; realistic fire, smoke or water.
- Never trace licensed characters into specs.
Capability check (once per session)
Run python "<skill-dir>/../generate2dmedia/scripts/route_media.py" resolve --kind image (or --kind video): when it names a route, the image or video skill takes the request unless the user asked for code art. forge_doctor.py in the same folder shows the full picture. If encoding.stdout fails, set PYTHONUTF8=1. For SVG work also run svg_render.py doctor --report <new.json> once per machine.
