What is hatch-pet?

Create, repair, validate, preview, and package Codex-compatible animated pet spritesheets from character art, screenshots, generated images, or visual references. Use when a user wants to hatch a Codex pet, create a custom animated pet, or build a built-in pet asset with an 8x9 atlas, transparent unused cells, row-by-row animation prompts, QA contact sheets, preview videos, and pet.json packaging. This skill composes the installed $imagegen system skill for visual generation and uses bundled scripts for deterministic spritesheet assembly.

Hatch Pet

Open Design integration. This is the unmodified Codex hatch-pet skill, vendored under skills/hatch-pet/ so any Open Design agent can run it. After the skill finishes packaging, the resulting spritesheet.webp (under ${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/<pet-name>/) can be imported into the floating pet companion via Settings → Pets → Import Codex sprite. The import flow auto-detects the 8×9 / 192×208 atlas and lets the user pick which animation row to play (idle, running-right, waving, …).

Overview

Create a Codex-compatible animated pet from a concept, one or more reference images, or both. This skill owns pet-specific prompt planning, animation rows, frame extraction, atlas geometry, QA, previews, and packaging. It delegates visual generation to $imagegen.
