How to install Aseprite AI Artist in Grok Build
grok plugin install with-pebbly/aseprite-ai-artist --trustReview before you trust it. --trust lets this plugin's hooks, MCP servers and scripts run code on your computer. It's a community repo that neither xAI nor GrokStacks has reviewed, so read its code first.
We install this repo directly: Grok Build 1.0.62 can't install it through its own marketplace file. Then start a new Grok session, or press r in /plugins, to load it.
Command format: Grok Build's plugin guide
Runs a local MCP server (with npx, uvx or similar), so that tool needs to be installed, for example Node.js for npx.
What we checked: on Oct 18, 2026 it installed with grok 1.0.62 and Grok found 14 skills, 1 subagent. That's an install check only: we haven't run it in a live Grok session.
What it contains
Skills (14)
animate— Build an idle, walk, run or attack cycle from key poses, set timing that reads as motion rather than a metronome, tag it, and review it as a filmstrip. Use when a rigged sprite needs to move.brief— Turn a vague pixel-art request into a written brief — size, palette, view, light, outline style — and confirm it with the user before any pixel is drawn. Use when the request is open-ended ("make me a knight") rather than a specific edit.concept— Before drawing a new character, prop, scene or animation, write an art spec, turn it into a ready-to-paste prompt for an image-generation model, and offer the user a choice — generate a concept sheet or storyboard with it and send it back,draw— Draw a sprite from silhouette to finished pixels, in the order that catches mistakes while they are still cheap — block in, check the silhouette, shade, outline, verify. Use for the main body of any drawing task.export— Produce the files an engine actually consumes — spritesheets with atlases, GIFs, scaled PNGs — with the tags and layout the target needs. Use when work is finished and needs to leave Aseprite.fix— Change a sprite that already exists — the user's own work or your earlier output — without destroying what is already right. Use for edits, touch-ups, style corrections and "make it more X" requests.new— Create a new Aseprite document with the right canvas size, colour mode, palette and layer structure, so later work does not have to fight the setup. Use when starting fresh rather than editing an existing sprite.palette— Pick a palette that fits the request, build hue-shifted ramps, or clean up a sprite whose colours have sprawled. Use when the user asks about colour, wants a specific retro look, or when validate reports off-palette colours.review— Run the mechanical checks and the by-eye checks, then report what you found with evidence instead of declaring success. Use before finishing any pixel-art task, and when the user asks "is this good" or "why does this look off".rig— Split a character onto named layers — head, torso, arms, legs — so it can be animated by moving cels instead of redrawing pixels. Use before animating anything, or when limbs are baked into one layer.shade— Add light and shadow with proper hue shifting, one step at a time, so the sprite gains form without gaining the flat-luminance look that marks generated pixel art. Use when flat art needs volume.studio— The front door for any Aseprite or pixel-art request. Works out what the user actually wants, picks which workflows to run and in what order — and whether to work in the user's open Aseprite window or a headless batch Aseprite (`--headless`submit— Turn the sprite you just made into a gallery pull request against with-pebbly/aseprite-ai-artist — exported files, an honest generation.yaml (prompts verbatim, model, plugin version, validate results, optional benchmark scoring), checked witileset— Design seamless tiles and autotile sets, or deduplicate a hand-painted mockup into a reusable tileset, then export for Tiled or Godot. Use for level art, terrain and anything that repeats.

aseprite:animation-director— Animation planning specialist. Use when planning idle, walk, run, attack or other cycles — it designs key poses, breakdowns, millisecond timing and tags before any frame is drawn, so the motion readsaseprite:palette-smith— Colour and palette specialist. Use when the user needs a cohesive palette, hue-shifted ramps, a specific retro preset, a palette sampled from reference art, or a muddy palette cleaned up. Proposes colaseprite:pixel-critic— Visual QA for pixel art. Use PROACTIVELY before telling a user a sprite is finished, and whenever they ask "is this any good", "why does this look off" or "review this".
