What msw-painter does

The skill starts by checking for a matching sprite with msw-search. If none fits, it creates artwork with SVG, Canvas, or HTML in either chunky or maple style, then runs scripts/render.cjs to produce a PNG. The default output size is 128×128.

Next, it uploads the image through the msw-mcp asset upload tool and registers sprite properties. If that upload tool is not connected, the PNG must be registered through Maker. For output smaller than 64×64, maple lacks enough pixels for its outline, smoothing, and facial details, so the skill recommends increasing the size or switching to chunky. Animation, audio, avatars, and atlases are outside its scope.

What it helps with

  • create a sprite when search returns no suitable RUID
  • draw an icon or tile in chunky style
  • make a character or NPC in maple style
  • render artwork to PNG and register it as a resource

Example prompts for the agent

  • Search for a slime sprite; if no matching RUID turns up, draw one in maple style and prepare the PNG.
  • Make a pixel-art icon in chunky style and register it as a resource.
  • Draw a maple-style NPC; if msw-mcp upload is unavailable, prepare the PNG for Maker.
