MOTION0:40A 40-second reel of the library: lightning, freezes, respawns and explosions on a pixel character, the full grid of 232 effects, one frost nova recoloured and reseeded in code, sprite-sheet export, and the skill taking an explosion from first draft to done.

It works with Claude Code. The code is on GitHub at patch-gg/pixelfx.
Free & open source (MIT). No images or paid services; making new effects uses your own Claude tokens.
Run the install command from the README: “/plugin marketplace add patch-gg/pixelfx”. Check the README on GitHub for the latest version, then follow the steps on this page.
