+
+# Pixel Art
+
+Convert any image into retro pixel art, then optionally animate it into a short
+MP4 or GIF with era-appropriate effects (rain, fireflies, snow, embers).
+
+Two scripts ship with this skill:
+
+- `scripts/pixel_art.py` — photo → pixel-art PNG (Floyd-Steinberg dithering)
+- `scripts/pixel_art_video.py` — pixel-art PNG → animated MP4 (+ optional GIF)
+
+Each is importable or runnable directly. Presets snap to hardware palettes
+when you want era-accurate colors (NES, Game Boy, PICO-8, etc.), or use
+adaptive N-color quantization for arcade/SNES-style looks.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- User wants retro pixel art from a source image
+- User asks for NES / Game Boy / PICO-8 / C64 / arcade / SNES styling
+- User wants a short looping animation (rain scene, night sky, snow, etc.)
+- Posters, album covers, social posts, sprites, characters, avatars
+
+## Workflow
+
+Before generating, confirm the style with the user. Different presets produce
+very different outputs and regenerating is costly.
+
+### Step 1 — Offer a style
+
+Call `clarify` with 4 representative presets. Pick the set based on what the
+user asked for — don't just dump all 14.
+
+Default menu when the user's intent is unclear:
+
+```python
+clarify(
+    question="Which pixel-art style do you want?",
+    choices=[
+        "arcade — bold, chunky 80s cabinet feel (16 colors, 8px)",
+        "nes — Nintendo 8-bit hardware palette (54 colors, 8px)",
+        "gameboy — 4-shade green Game Boy DMG",
+        "snes — cleaner 16-bit look (32 colors, 4px)",
+    ],
+)
+```
+
+When the user already named an era (e.g. "80s arcade", "Gameboy"), skip
+`clarify` and use the matching preset directly.
+
+### Step 2 — Offer animation (optional)
+
+If the user asked for a video/GIF, or the output might benefit from motion,
+ask which scene:
+
+```python
+clarify(
+    question="Want to animate it? Pick a scene or skip.",
+    choices=[
+        "night — stars + fireflies + leaves",
+        "urban — rain + neon pulse",
+        "snow — falling snowflakes",
+        "skip — just the image",
+    ],
+)
+```
+
+Do NOT call `clarify` more than twice in a row. One for style, one for scene if
+animation is on the table. If the user explicitly asked for a specific style
+and scene in their message, skip `clarify` entirely.
+
+### Step 3 — Generate
+
+Run `pixel_art()` first; if animation was requested, chain into
+`pixel_art_video()` on the result.
+
+## Preset Catalog
+
+| Preset | Era | Palette | Block | Best for |
+|--------|-----|---------|-------|----------|
+| `arcade` | 80s arcade | adaptive 16 | 8px | Bold posters, hero art |
+| `snes` | 16-bit | adaptive 32 | 4px | Characters, detailed scenes |
+| `nes` | 8-bit | NES (54) | 8px | True NES look |
+| `gameboy` | DMG handheld | 4 green shades | 8px | Monochrome Game Boy |
+| `gameboy_pocket` | Pocket handheld | 4 grey shades | 8px | Mono GB Pocket |
+| `pico8` | PICO-8 | 16 fixed | 6px | Fantasy-console look |
+| `c64` | Commodore 64 | 16 fixed | 8px | 8-bit home computer |
+| `apple2` | Apple II hi-res | 6 fixed | 10px | Extreme retro, 6 colors |
+| `teletext` | BBC Teletext | 8 pure | 10px | Chunky primary colors |
+| `mspaint` | Windows MS Paint | 24 fixed | 8px | Nostalgic desktop |
+| `mono_green` | CRT phosphor | 2 green | 6px | Terminal/CRT aesthetic |
+| `mono_amber` | CRT amber | 2 amber | 6px | Amber monitor look |
+| `neon` | Cyberpunk | 10 neons | 6px | Vaporwave/cyber |
+| `pastel` | Soft pastel | 10 pastels | 6px | Kawaii / gentle |
+
+Named palettes live in `scripts/palettes.py` (see `references/palettes.md` for
+the complete list — 28 named palettes total). Any preset can be overridden:
+
+```python
+pixel_art("in.png", "out.png", preset="snes", palette="PICO_8", block=6)
+```
+
+## Scene Catalog (for video)
+
+| Scene | Effects |
+|-------|---------|
+| `night` | Twinkling stars + fireflies + drifting leaves |
+| `dusk` | Fireflies + sparkles |
+| `tavern` | Dust motes + warm sparkles |
+| `indoor` | Dust motes |
+| `urban` | Rain + neon pulse |
+| `nature` | Leaves + fireflies |
+| `magic` | Sparkles + fireflies |
+| `storm` | Rain + lightning |
+| `underwater` | Bubbles + light sparkles |
+| `fire` | Embers + sparkles |
+| `snow` | Snowflakes + sparkles |
+| `desert` | Heat shimmer + dust |
+
+## Invocation Patterns
+
+### Python (import)
+
+```python
+import sys
+sys.path.insert(0, "/home/teknium/.hermes/skills/creative/pixel-art/scripts")
+from pixel_art import pixel_art
+from pixel_art_video import pixel_art_video
+
+# 1. Convert to pixel art
+pixel_art("/path/to/photo.jpg", "/tmp/pixel.png", preset="nes")
+
+# 2. Animate (optional)
+pixel_art_video(
+    "/tmp/pixel.png",
+    "/tmp/pixel.mp4",
+    scene="night",
+    duration=6,
+    fps=15,
+    seed=42,
+    export_gif=True,
+)
+```
+
+### CLI
+
+```bash
+cd /home/teknium/.hermes/skills/creative/pixel-art/scripts
+
+python pixel_art.py in.jpg out.png --preset gameboy
+python pixel_art.py in.jpg out.png --preset snes --palette PICO_8 --block 6
+
+python pixel_art_video.py out.png out.mp4 --scene night --duration 6 --gif
+```
+
+## Pipeline Rationale
+
+**Pixel conversion:**
+1. Boost contrast/color/sharpness (stronger for smaller palettes)
+2. Posterize to simplify tonal regions before quantization
+3. Downscale by `block` with `Image.NEAREST` (hard pixels, no interpolation)
+4. Quantize with Floyd-Steinberg dithering — against either an adaptive
+   N-color palette OR a named hardware palette
+5. Upscale back with `Image.NEAREST`
+
+Quantizing AFTER downscale keeps dithering aligned with the final pixel grid.
+Quantizing before would waste error-diffusion on detail that disappears.
+
+**Video overlay:**
+- Copies the base frame each tick (static background)
+- Overlays stateless-per-frame particle draws (one function per effect)
+- Encodes via ffmpeg `libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 18`
+- Optional GIF via `palettegen` + `paletteuse`
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Python 3.9+
+- Pillow (`pip install Pillow`)
+- ffmpeg on PATH (only needed for video — the agent installs package this)
+
+## Pitfalls
+
+- Pallet keys are case-sensitive (`"NES"`, `"PICO_8"`, `"GAMEBOY_ORIGINAL"`).
+- Very small sources (<100px wide) collapse under 8-10px blocks. Upscale the
+  source first if it's tiny.
+- Fractional `block` or `palette` will break quantization — keep them positive ints.
+- Animation particle counts are tuned for ~640x480 canvases. On very large
+  images you may want a second pass with a different seed for density.
+- `mono_green` / `mono_amber` force `color=0.0` (desaturate). If you override
+  and keep chroma, the 2-color palette can produce stripes on smooth regions.
+- `clarify` loop: call it at most twice per turn (style, then scene). Don't
+  pepper the user with more picks.
+
+## Verification
+
+- PNG is created at the output path
+- Clear square pixel blocks visible at the preset's block size
+- Color count matches preset (eyeball the image or run `Image.open(p).getcolors()`)
+- Video is a valid MP4 (`ffprobe` can open it) with non-zero size
+

+---
+
+# Plan Mode
+
+Use this skill when the user wants a plan instead of execution.
+
+## Core behavior
+
+For this turn, you are planning only.
+
+- Do not implement code.
+- Do not edit project files except the plan markdown file.
+- Do not run mutating terminal commands, commit, push, or perform external actions.
+- You may inspect the repo or other context with read-only commands/tools when needed.
+- Your deliverable is a markdown plan saved inside the active workspace under `.hermes/plans/`.
+
+## Output requirements
+
+Write a markdown plan that is concrete and actionable.
+
+Include, when relevant:
+- Goal
+- Current context / assumptions
+- Proposed approach
+- Step-by-step plan
+- Files likely to change
+- Tests / validation
+- Risks, tradeoffs, and open questions
+
+If the task is code-related, include exact file paths, likely test targets, and verification steps.
+
+## Save location
+
+Save the plan with `write_file` under:
+- `.hermes/plans/YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS-<slug>.md`
+
+Treat that as relative to the active working directory / backend workspace. the agent file tools are backend-aware, so using this relative path keeps the plan with the workspace on local, docker, ssh, modal, and daytona backends.
+
+If the runtime provides a specific target path, use that exact path.
+If not, create a sensible timestamped filename yourself under `.hermes/plans/`.
+
+## Interaction style
+
+- If the request is clear enough, write the plan directly.
+- If no explicit instruction accompanies `/plan`, infer the task from the current conversation context.
+- If it is genuinely underspecified, ask a brief clarifying question instead of guessing.
+- After saving the plan, reply briefly with what you planned and the saved path.
+
+---
+
+# Writing the Plan Well
+
+The rest of this skill is the craft of authoring a *good* implementation plan — the content that goes inside the markdown file above.
+
+## Overview
+
+Write comprehensive implementation plans assuming the implementer has zero context for the codebase and questionable taste. Document everything they need: which files to touch, complete code, testing commands, docs to check, how to verify. Give them bite-sized tasks. DRY. YAGNI. TDD. Frequent commits.
+
+Assume the implementer is a skilled developer but knows almost nothing about the toolset or problem domain. Assume they don't know good test design very well.
+
+**Core principle:** A good plan makes implementation obvious. If someone has to guess, the plan is incomplete.
+
+## When a Full Implementation Plan Helps
+
+**Always use before:**
+- Implementing multi-step features
+- Breaking down complex requirements
+- Delegating to subagents via subagent-driven-development
+
+**Don't skip when:**
+- Feature seems simple (assumptions cause bugs)
+- You plan to implement it yourself (future you needs guidance)
+- Working alone (documentation matters)
+
+## Bite-Sized Task Granularity
+
+**Each task = 2-5 minutes of focused work.**
+
+Every step is one action:
+- "Write the failing test" — step
+- "Run it to make sure it fails" — step
+- "Implement the minimal code to make the test pass" — step
+- "Run the tests and make sure they pass" — step
+- "Commit" — step
+
+**Too big:**
+```markdown
+### Task 1: Build authentication system
+[50 lines of code across 5 files]
+```
+
+**Right size:**
+```markdown
+### Task 1: Create User model with email field
+[10 lines, 1 file]
+
+### Task 2: Add password hash field to User
+[8 lines, 1 file]
+
+### Task 3: Create password hashing utility
+[15 lines, 1 file]
+```
+
+## Plan Document Structure
+
+### Header (Required)
+
+Every plan MUST start with:
+
+```markdown
+# [Feature Name] Implementation Plan
+
+> **For the agent:** Use subagent-driven-development skill to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** [One sentence describing what this builds]
+
+**Architecture:** [2-3 sentences about approach]
+
+**Tech Stack:** [Key technologies/libraries]
+
+---
+```
+
+### Task Structure
+
+Each task follows this format:
+
+````markdown
+### Task N: [Descriptive Name]
+
+**Objective:** What this task accomplishes (one sentence)
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `exact/path/to/new_file.py`
+- Modify: `exact/path/to/existing.py:45-67` (line numbers if known)
+- Test: `tests/path/to/test_file.py`
+
+**Step 1: Write failing test**
+
+```python
+def test_specific_behavior():
+    result = function(input)
+    assert result == expected
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run test to verify failure**
+
+Run: `pytest tests/path/test.py::test_specific_behavior -v`
+Expected: FAIL — "function not defined"
+
+**Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
+
+```python
+def function(input):
+    return expected
+```
+
+**Step 4: Run test to verify pass**
+
+Run: `pytest tests/path/test.py::test_specific_behavior -v`
+Expected: PASS
+
+**Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add tests/path/test.py src/path/file.py
+git commit -m "feat: add specific feature"
+```
+````
+
+## Writing Process
+
+### Step 1: Understand Requirements
+
+Read and understand:
+- Feature requirements
+- Design documents or user description
+- Acceptance criteria
+- Constraints
+
+### Step 2: Explore the Codebase
+
+Use tools to understand the project:
+
+```python
+# Understand project structure
+search_files("*.py", target="files", path="src/")
+
+# Look at similar features
+search_files("similar_pattern", path="src/", file_glob="*.py")
+
+# Check existing tests
+search_files("*.py", target="files", path="tests/")
+
+# Read key files
+read_file("src/app.py")
+```
+
+### Step 3: Design Approach
+
+Decide:
+- Architecture pattern
+- File organization
+- Dependencies needed
+- Testing strategy
+
+### Step 4: Write Tasks
+
+Create tasks in order:
+1. Setup/infrastructure
+2. Core functionality (TDD for each)
+3. Edge cases
+4. Integration
+5. Cleanup/documentation
+
+### Step 5: Add Complete Details
+
+For each task, include:
+- **Exact file paths** (not "the config file" but `src/config/settings.py`)
+- **Complete code examples** (not "add validation" but the actual code)
+- **Exact commands** with expected output
+- **Verification steps** that prove the task works
+
+### Step 6: Review the Plan
+
+Check:
+- [ ] Tasks are sequential and logical
+- [ ] Each task is bite-sized (2-5 min)
+- [ ] File paths are exact
+- [ ] Code examples are complete (copy-pasteable)
+- [ ] Commands are exact with expected output
+- [ ] No missing context
+- [ ] DRY, YAGNI, TDD principles applied
+
+## Principles
+
+### DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
+
+**Bad:** Copy-paste validation in 3 places
+**Good:** Extract validation function, use everywhere
+
+### YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It)
+
+**Bad:** Add "flexibility" for future requirements
+**Good:** Implement only what's needed now
+
+```python
+# Bad — YAGNI violation
+class User:
+    def __init__(self, name, email):
+        self.name = name
+        self.email = email
+        self.preferences = {}  # Not needed yet!
+        self.metadata = {}     # Not needed yet!
+
+# Good — YAGNI
+class User:
+    def __init__(self, name, email):
+        self.name = name
+        self.email = email
+```
+
+### TDD (Test-Driven Development)
+
+Every task that produces code should include the full TDD cycle:
+1. Write failing test
+2. Run to verify failure
+3. Write minimal code
+4. Run to verify pass
+
+See `test-driven-development` skill for details.
+
+### Frequent Commits
+
+Commit after every task:
+```bash
+git add [files]
+git commit -m "type: description"
+```
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+### Vague Tasks
+
+**Bad:** "Add authentication"
+**Good:** "Create User model with email and password_hash fields"
+
+### Incomplete Code
+
+**Bad:** "Step 1: Add validation function"
+**Good:** "Step 1: Add validation function" followed by the complete function code
+
+### Missing Verification
+
+**Bad:** "Step 3: Test it works"
+**Good:** "Step 3: Run `pytest tests/test_auth.py -v`, expected: 3 passed"
+
+### Missing File Paths
+
+**Bad:** "Create the model file"
+**Good:** "Create: `src/models/user.py`"
+
+## Execution Handoff
+
+After saving the plan, offer the execution approach:
+
+**"Plan complete and saved. Ready to execute using subagent-driven-development — I'll dispatch a fresh subagent per task with two-stage review (spec compliance then code quality). Shall I proceed?"**
+
+When executing, use the `subagent-driven-development` skill:
+- Fresh `delegate_task` per task with full context
+- Spec compliance review after each task
+- Code quality review after spec passes
+- Proceed only when both reviews approve
+
+## Remember
+
+```
+Bite-sized tasks (2-5 min each)
+Exact file paths
+Complete code (copy-pasteable)
+Exact commands with expected output
+Verification steps
+DRY, YAGNI, TDD
+Frequent commits
+```
+
+**A good plan makes implementation obvious.**

+
+# Polymarket — Prediction Market Data
+
+Query prediction market data from Polymarket using their public REST APIs.
+All endpoints are read-only and require zero authentication.
+
+See `references/api-endpoints.md` for the full endpoint reference with curl examples.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- User asks about prediction markets, betting odds, or event probabilities
+- User wants to know "what are the odds of X happening?"
+- User asks about Polymarket specifically
+- User wants market prices, orderbook data, or price history
+- User asks to monitor or track prediction market movements
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+- **Events** contain one or more **Markets** (1:many relationship)
+- **Markets** are binary outcomes with Yes/No prices between 0.00 and 1.00
+- Prices ARE probabilities: price 0.65 means the market thinks 65% likely
+- `outcomePrices` field: JSON-encoded array like `["0.80", "0.20"]`
+- `clobTokenIds` field: JSON-encoded array of two token IDs [Yes, No] for price/book queries
+- `conditionId` field: hex string used for price history queries
+- Volume is in USDC (US dollars)
+
+## Three Public APIs
+
+1. **Gamma API** at `gamma-api.polymarket.com` — Discovery, search, browsing
+2. **CLOB API** at `clob.polymarket.com` — Real-time prices, orderbooks, history
+3. **Data API** at `data-api.polymarket.com` — Trades, open interest
+
+## Typical Workflow
+
+When a user asks about prediction market odds:
+
+1. **Search** using the Gamma API public-search endpoint with their query
+2. **Parse** the response — extract events and their nested markets
+3. **Present** market question, current prices as percentages, and volume
+4. **Deep dive** if asked — use clobTokenIds for orderbook, conditionId for history
+
+## Presenting Results
+
+Format prices as percentages for readability:
+- outcomePrices `["0.652", "0.348"]` becomes "Yes: 65.2%, No: 34.8%"
+- Always show the market question and probability
+- Include volume when available
+
+Example: `"Will X happen?" — 65.2% Yes ($1.2M volume)`
+
+## Parsing Double-Encoded Fields
+
+The Gamma API returns `outcomePrices`, `outcomes`, and `clobTokenIds` as JSON strings
+inside JSON responses (double-encoded). When processing with Python, parse them with
+`json.loads(market['outcomePrices'])` to get the actual array.
+
+## Rate Limits
+
+Generous — unlikely to hit for normal usage:
+- Gamma: 4,000 requests per 10 seconds (general)
+- CLOB: 9,000 requests per 10 seconds (general)
+- Data: 1,000 requests per 10 seconds (general)
+
+## Limitations
+
+- This skill is read-only — it does not support placing trades
+- Trading requires wallet-based crypto authentication (EIP-712 signatures)
+- Some new markets may have empty price history
+- Geographic restrictions apply to trading but read-only data is globally accessible
