New Pack Workflow

Phase 1: Requirements

Ask the user:

1. Character concept (animal, robot, invader, object, etc.)
2. Grid size — recommend 16x16 for half-block, 8x8 for simpler characters
3. Render mode — half-block (recommended for faces/characters) or bg-space (simpler)
4. Pack name (lowercase, hyphens, e.g. space-invader)
5. Install location:
   • Project-local: <project>/.claude/mascot-packs/<name>/
   • User-global: ~/.claude/plugins/claude-code-mascot-statusline/packs/<name>/

Phase 2: Palette Design

Design the color palette. Rules:

• Index 0 = null (transparent) — always required
• Index 1 = outline / dark color — defines the silhouette
• Index 2 = main body color — this is the heat target (shifts toward when context window usage reaches 60-85%). Choose a warm or neutral color that looks good interpolating toward red.
