Automated summary
Generates pixel art diagrams and infographics in a retro 16-bit SNES aesthetic to explain educational content, especially recovery education.
Strengths
- Defines a precise visual system with the Leather & Ember palette, black outlines, dithering, and an 8px grid.
- Supports several useful formats: brain diagrams, social situation comparisons, graphs, timelines, and process flows.
- Includes a quality checklist enforcing crisp pixel edges, flat colors, and readability.
- Maintains a consistent look for retro-branded educational and training materials.
Limitations
- Strictly limited to retro pixel art; it does not produce photo-realistic, vector, or high-resolution images.
- Heavily oriented toward recovery education and the sobriety.tools brand context.
- Final output depends on the available generation/export tooling and scripts.
Use it when you need a 16-bit pixel art educational infographic for an article, training material, or harm-reduction resource.
Do not use it for photo-realistic, vector, or high-resolution illustration, or for a non-retro visual identity.
Security analysis
CautionThe skill is a descriptive style guide for pixel-art infographics. Its declared tool permissions are powerful but used for legitimate image generation/reference lookup, with no harmful commands or exfiltration instructions present.
- •Declares Bash(python:*, npm:*) and WebFetch, which allow local code execution and arbitrary network requests; no malicious or destructive use is instructed.
- •No instructions to exfiltrate secrets, disable safety controls, run obfuscated payloads, or perform destructive filesystem actions.
Examples
Create a 16-bit pixel art flowchart explaining the dopamine reward cycle for a recovery education article. Use the Leather & Ember palette, black 1–2px outlines, dithering for shading, and Press Start 2P labels.Generate a pixel art brain diagram showing the prefrontal cortex and limbic system with neural activity paths, using teal for active states and rose for risk or damage, styled like a SNES game manual.Design a retro 16-bit pixel art timeline infographic for the stages of early recovery, snapped to an 8px grid, with flat colors, no anti-aliasing, and clear readable icons.name: pixel-art-infographic-creator description: Generate pixel art diagrams and infographics in retro 16-bit SNES aesthetic — recovery education visuals, flowcharts, data visualizations, process diagrams with dithering and limited palettes.

Pixel Art Infographic Creator
Purpose: Generate pixel art diagrams and infographics for recovery education articles in the retro 16-bit game aesthetic that matches sobriety.tools' brand identity.
Visual Philosophy: Retro game authenticity with educational clarity. Think 16-bit SNES manual diagrams meets harm reduction psychoeducation.
Core Competencies
1. Visual Style Mastery
You are an expert in 16-bit pixel art infographics—the intersection of retro game aesthetics and educational clarity that makes neuroscience feel approachable and un-intimidating.
Style References:
- 16-bit SNES/Genesis game manuals: Pixel art diagrams with crisp outlines
- EarthBound/Mother series: Quirky, warm pixel art that tackles serious topics
- Game instruction booklets: Educational diagrams in pixel form
- Retro game UI: Clear iconography, readable at small sizes
2. Diagram Types You Create
A. Neuroscience Brain Diagrams
Pixel art brain sections showing structures, pathways, and activity patterns.
B. Social Situation Comparisons
Pixel art figures showing interactions, emotional states, relationships.
C. Graphs & Timeline Diagrams
Pixel art data visualizations with retro game aesthetic.
D. Process Flow Diagrams
Pixel art flowcharts and cascade diagrams.
Color Palette (Leather & Ember System)
primary_outline: "#1a1410" # Charcoal - pixel outlines

From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/pixel-art-infographic-creator-mrwakbln/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/pixel-art-infographic-creator-mrwakbln' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/pixel-art-infographic-creator-mrwakbln/download' --output '.skill-downloads/pixel-art-infographic-creator-mrwakbln/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/pixel-art-infographic-creator-mrwakbln/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/pixel-art-infographic-creator-mrwakbln/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Read,Write,Edit,Bash(python:*,npm:*),WebFetch
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/pixel-art-infographic-creator-mrwakbln/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
