Layer Environments

Overview

An environment is the art the player looks through, not at. It has to hold depth, sit behind gameplay without competing with it, and, for a parallax background, come apart into layers that move at different speeds and still line up.

Generation mechanics (model discovery, the estimate gate, uploads, polling) are in the layer skill; prompt craft is in layer-image. Characters and props are in layer-game-assets, isometric and hex tiles in layer-tilesets, and tiling surfaces in layer-textures.

If a sibling skill named here is missing from your available skills, ask the user to install it (npx skills add layerai/skills --skill <name>); unattended, proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap.
