Agent Skill

Sprite Animation skill

sprite-animationnexu-io/open-designdesign-templates/sprite-animation/SKILL.md

A pixel / sprite-style animated explainer slide — full-bleed cream stage, bold display year, animated pixel-art mascot (e.g. Hanafuda card, mushroom, or 8-bit console), kinetic Japanese display type, ticking timeline ribbon. Reads like a single frame of an educational motion video — looping CSS keyframes, no JS, ready to be screen-recorded into a vertical video. Use when the brief asks for a "sprite animation", "pixel-art video", "8-bit explainer", "history of X explainer", "kinetic typography history", "Nintendo-style", "精灵图动画", "像素动画", or "复古动画".

Until it is used, sprite-animation costs about 9.7× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,362 tokens on every turn). Installing all 150 skills from nexu-io/open-design would load 9,514 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
