MSW Painter

A workflow for registering a hand-drawn pixel art sprite as a sprite resource. Call msw-search first, and only invoke this skill when no suitable RUID is found.

This skill is dedicated to the sprite category. It does not handle animation / audio / avatar / atlas.

The painter supports two pixel art styles: chunky pixel (retro, icon/tile feel) and maple cartoon (MapleStory-inspired, character/NPC feel). Pick one before writing code — see step 2 below.

When to invoke

Situation
Action

User wants a specific sprite
First use msw-search (Resource search section, sprite category)

msw-search returns an RUID that matches the intent
Use that RUID directly. Do not invoke painter.

No search results, or all results are unsuitable
Invoke painter → create directly

User explicitly says "I need a hand-drawn looking character/icon"
Invoke painter directly
