## What it does

The skill routes each request to instructions for one of three tasks: organizing a palette for a 2D level, making an empty RuleTile for custom rules, or building a RuleTile from supplied sprites. The sprite-based option is for tiles that should connect while you paint. The right path depends on the assets you have and the result you want.

Palette layouts include rectangular, hexagonal, and isometric grids, including Isometric Z as Y. Empty tile options cover RuleTile, HexagonalRuleTile, and IsometricRuleTile. Separate reference documents guide each task. Creating a RuleTile from existing artwork depends on having those sprites available.
