Traction scoreGitHub stars can be faked, so popularity alone can be misleading. Traction Score looks for broader signs of recent attention, adoption, and active maintenance.
TL;DR

This skill assists indie game developers in converting static character assets—such as separated body-part PNGs or atlas spritesheets—into functional 2D skeletal animations. It manages the technical transition from raw art to rigged characters, streamlining the creation of walk cycles and attack animations.

By handling asset analysis and bone rigging, the tool produces Spine-compatible JSON, atlas, and PNG export files. It also generates interactive HTML5 previews via the Spine Web Player to verify animation timing and movement before implementation.

1 skill file

Compatible AgentsThe repository documents support for these agents. The skills may also work with other agents that can load SKILL.md files, but they may need some setup or small changes.

Use this skill

Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.

Claude Projects

Installs: Complete spine-animation skill, including all scripts embedded inline in SKILL.md · Claude

Before you start
  • Any Claude account
  • Python 3.9+ in the Claude execution environment
  • Permission for Claude to write under /home/claude and install the documented Python packages

Platform: Claude.ai Projects

  1. Go to claude.ai, create a new Project, open Project Knowledge, and choose Add content.

  2. Copy and paste the full contents of SKILL.md into Project Knowledge, then save the Project.

  3. At the start of the Claude agent session, have Claude run this documented shell setup before using the skill.

    mkdir -p /home/claude/spine-scripts
    pip install opencv-python Pillow numpy google-generativeai --break-system-packages -q
  4. In the Claude agent session, have Claude read each script embedded in SKILL.md and write it to /home/claude/spine-scripts/ before running the animation pipeline.

Give it something to do.

Suggested first task

Create a first Spine idle animation

Uses spine-animation

  • Replace <asset-directory> with the path to the directory containing the separated body-part PNGs.
  • Replace <reference-image-path> with the path to the assembled character reference image.
  • Complete the selected installation option and its documented session setup first.
Using the spine-animation skill, create a Spine skeleton with a simple idle animation from my separated body-part PNGs and assembled reference image. Use <asset-directory> for the body-part images and <reference-image-path> for the assembled reference. Produce the Spine-compatible export files and an interactive HTML5 preview.
