Show HN: Klad, a paint app your coding agent can drive (source-available)

Klad is a Rust-written paint app that AI coding agents can fully drive via CLI, while offering a full UI with a brush engine, frame-by-frame animation, bones/IK, vectors, text layers, layer effects and infinite undo. The author built it because AI-assisted game art currently means either rerolling image generators or drawing with vectors; Klad lets an agent draft art with real brushes and then lets a human or agent edit every stroke. It is source-available (free for individuals and small companies), with the file format, CLI reference and agent skill under MIT.
What this means for indie developers:Indie game developers who need art assets can try having a coding agent draft editable artwork via CLI, reducing reliance on rerolling image-generation models.
