Codex Pet Generator

Create Codex desktop pets from character references by defining row semantics, generating tiny-UI-readable loops, approving or rejecting rows, following slicing guidance, packing a 1536x1872 spritesheet with the bundled packer, validating it, and installing under ~/.codex/pets.

# Codex Pet Generator

Use this skill when the user wants to create, revise, validate, package, or install a custom Codex desktop pet.

## Core Principles

- Animation direction first, image generation second, deterministic packing third.
- Optimize for tiny UI readability, not for how pretty a large strip looks in isolation.
- Treat each row as one loopable state machine, not eight poster poses.
- Keep canon anchors: one approved scale reference, one seated-body reference, one standing-body reference, and one prop-language reference.
- Every generated row must be marked `approved` or `unapproved` before it can advance.

## Codex Format

Custom pets live at:

```text
~/.codex/pets/<pet-id>/
  pet.json
  spritesheet.png|webp
```

Required spritesheet:

- `1536x1872`
- `8x9` grid
- `192x208` per frame
- transparent final background
- PNG or WebP

Required `pet.json`:

```json
{
  "id": "<pet-id>",
  "displayName": "<Display Name>",
  "description": "<one-line description>",
  "spritesheetPath": "spritesheet.webp"
}
```

`spritesheetPath` is resolved relative to the `pet.json` file. Use the same `<pet-id>` as the parent directory name.

Row order is fixed:

1. `idle`
2. `running-right`
3. `running-left`
4. `waving`
5. `jumping`
6. `failed`
7. `waiting`
8. `running`
9. `review`

For row-by-row semantics, common failure modes, and tiny-UI design guidance, read [references/row-semantics.md](references/row-semantics.md) before prompting.
