Could you build this?

Partial Packaging an agent skill (instructions plus scripts) is easy to vibe-code, but the core result, turning one painting into a rigged, animated 2D hero with mesh deformation and a quality gate, requires real 2D animation and rigging expertise.

What it would actually take: Build a skill package (SKILL.md, scripts, and templates) that drives image segmentation, mesh generation, and skeleton-based deformation, exporting Spine-compatible JSON. The hard part is producing clean rigging weights and animation curves from a single painting, plus an automated defect checker that catches artifacts. That needs 2D animation and computer vision expertise and iterative tuning against real art.
