 "title": "Animate a sprite and export a spritesheet for your engine",
 "page_title": "How to animate a sprite and export a spritesheet for your engine with Aseprite AI Artist",
 "summary": "Turn a drawn character into a tagged animation and export it as a spritesheet.",
 "who": "A game developer who has a character drawn and needs idle or walk cycles for an engine such as Godot.",
 "problem": "Animating each frame by hand and then packing a spritesheet is slow and easy to get wrong.",
 "outcome": "A tagged animation cycle in Aseprite, exported as a spritesheet with an atlas, ready for your game engine.",
 "steps": [
  "Complete the install steps for the Aseprite extension and your agent, then run `npx @pebbly/aseprite-ai-artist doctor`.",
  "Open the sprite you want to animate in Aseprite.",
  "Ask for the cycle, for example `/aseprite:animate 8-frame walk cycle` in Claude Code.",
  "Review the frames the agent drew and ask for changes with `/aseprite:fix make him more menacing` if needed.",
  "Export the result with `/aseprite:export spritesheet for Godot`."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the aseprite-ai-artist plugin from with-pebbly/aseprite-ai-artist, animate the open sprite <sprite name> as a <number>-frame <idle or walk> cycle and export a spritesheet with its atlas for <engine>. Expected output: a tagged cycle in the Aseprite document and an exported spritesheet and atlas file. Verify that the frame count and cycle tags match the request before exporting.",
