# Pixel Avatar (Compatibility Alias)

This legacy skill name is retained for backward compatibility.

Primary skill: `avatar-portrait`.

When this alias triggers:
- Follow the `avatar-portrait` workflow.
- Set style requirements to pixel art by default (e.g. retro 16-bit, visible pixel structure).
- Preserve likeness from the reference photo.

If the user asks for a non-pixel style, use `avatar-portrait` directly and apply their requested style.
