The machines behind the art

Describe a character, get a sprite sheet. Manifest-driven AI sprite-sheet generator (gpt-image-1) with identity-locked editing and genre templates — shmup, platformer, racing, tower defense, and more. It drew the first generation of arcade characters, including Street Fury's fighters.

Cross-project .env scanner and drift detector. Audits environment configuration across every project on a machine — finds missing keys, drift between environments, and secrets sitting where they shouldn't be.

Spec file in, scaffold + tests + docs out. A Claude-powered CLI pipeline: hand it a spec and it produces the project scaffold, test suite, documentation, and a code-review checklist in four steps.

Your whole codebase, compressed into LLM context. Compiles a local codebase into a compact context pack — structure, signatures, framework facts — so an AI agent can reason about a large project without reading every file. MIT-licensed; public release to the pickbitsai org is in progress.

The canonical game-art pipeline. Animation-first asset generation: a single hero still becomes video, video becomes frames, frames become consistent pose sheets. Gap-filling, per-game manifests, and a 2D→3D lane (image-to-mesh) feed every game in the arcade — fix the pipeline once, improve nine games.

A self-hosted talking-head studio. Voice-clone voiceover, lip-synced avatar rendering, and real-time face-swap streaming — a HeyGen-style avatar engine running on a single RTX 3080 Ti. It renders the Coach Mark host that fronts the PickBits Daily Signal.

An editorial brain that decides what ships. Canvassing, story RAG, entity and arc graphs, dossiers, and slate-building — the agentic editorial layer that reads everything and chooses each day's stories before a single frame is rendered.

One production studio, many shows. The media factory behind the output you can watch: daily vertical reels with burned-in captions, five-slide branded carousels, arcade devlog shorts cut from raw screen recordings, and an img2img restyle lane for book art — all agent-operated, end to end.

Cloud saves, achievements, leaderboards — one script tag. The platform layer under the arcade: single sign-on across every game, synced cloud saves, achievements, leaderboards, and wallet — live today across the connected games.
