Prompt for your agent

Goal: Get better pixel art than image generation gives me.
Setup: agents used in source: ChatGPT Dots; tools/MCPs stated: Aseprite.
Steps:
1. Install Aseprite on your Dot’s computer instance.
2. Set up a good workflow and have the Dot do the pixel-art work in Aseprite.
3. Mind the security implications of installing arbitrary software there.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
