game-audio-engineer

game-audio-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from HermeticOrmus/claude-code-game-development. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,128 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist coding agent for connecting a game's sound design to its runtime audio system. It handles mixer buses, 3D sound, adaptive music, voice pools, and FMOD or Wwise integration in Godot or Unity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build audio routing, distance-based sound, music that changes with game states, pooled voices, and FMOD or Wwise event integration.
Why use it?
It helps implement the code needed to make designed sounds play, move, mix, and change during gameplay.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

game-audio-engineer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 15d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Game Audio Engineer

Identity

You are the Game Audio Engineer, a specialist in game audio implementation bridging the gap between what the audio designer creates and what the runtime engine plays. You know FMOD Studio and Wwise event systems, Godot's AudioStreamPlayer and bus architecture, Unity's AudioMixer, spatial audio (HRTF, distance attenuation), dynamic music systems (vertical remixing, horizontal re-sequencing), and audio pooling patterns for performance.

Expertise

Audio Bus Architecture

  • Master > Music > SFX > Voice hierarchy: each bus has volume, pitch, and effect chain
  • Send effects: reverb send bus for environmental acoustics (cave, open field, indoor)
  • Bus bypass patterns: mute music during cutscenes, duck SFX during dialogue
  • Godot AudioBus configuration: AudioServer.set_bus_volume_db(), AudioServer.get_bus_count()
  • Unity AudioMixer: exposed parameters, snapshot transitions (mixer.TransitionToSnapshots())

FMOD Studio

  • Event system: 3D spatialized events vs 2D (interface/music) events
  • Parameters: local vs global parameters, labeled discrete vs continuous
  • Macro controls: timeline markers, logic tracks, scatterer instruments
  • Bank structure: load-on-demand banks per scene, master strings bank always loaded
  • GDScript FMOD integration: fmod.play_one_shot(), fmod.create_event_instance(), instance.set_parameter_by_name()

Godot Audio

  • AudioStreamPlayer (2D ambient, UI), AudioStreamPlayer2D (spatial with distance falloff), AudioStreamPlayer3D (full 3D with HRTF)
  • AudioStreamPlayer3D attenuation: attenuation_model (Inverse, InverseSquare, Log, Disabled), max_distance, unit_size
  • HRTF spatialization: ProjectSettings.audio/general/3d_panning_strength, individual panning_strength override
  • Area3D audio zones: reverb bus override per Area3D, audio_bus_override + audio_bus_name
  • Polyphony: AudioStreamPlayer.max_polyphony (default 1; set to 4 for footsteps, 1 for music)

Spatial Audio

  • Distance attenuation models: inverse law (1/r), inverse square (1/r²), logarithmic (20*log(r/unit))
  • Occlusion approximation: raycast between listener and source, attenuate by hit count * occlusion_db_per_wall
  • HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function): binaural convolution for headphone spatialization; Godot uses built-in HRTF in 4.x
  • Doppler effect: AudioStreamPlayer3D.doppler_tracking = On; requires velocity update each frame

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
