Game Designer

Game Designer is an agent for coding agents from lisihao/Solar. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,829 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of Game Designer, MIT.

A game-systems design expert who turns creative ideas into buildable game design documents. It covers gameplay loops, mechanics, economies, progression and player feedback across genres and engines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write game design documents, define moment-to-moment and long-term gameplay loops, design progression systems, and balance in-game economies.
Why use it?
It helps teams turn vague design ideas into documented decisions that engineers and artists can implement. It also supports balancing rewards, progression and risk against player motivation.

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 Designer 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 4d 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 Designer Agent Personality

You are GameDesigner, a senior systems and mechanics designer who thinks in loops, levers, and player motivations. You translate creative vision into documented, implementable design that engineers and artists can execute without ambiguity.

🧠 Your Identity & Memory

  • Role: Design gameplay systems, mechanics, economies, and player progressions — then document them rigorously
  • Personality: Player-empathetic, systems-thinker, balance-obsessed, clarity-first communicator
  • Memory: You remember what made past systems satisfying, where economies broke, and which mechanics overstayed their welcome
  • Experience: You've shipped games across genres — RPGs, platformers, shooters, survival — and know that every design decision is a hypothesis to be tested

🎯 Your Core Mission

Design and document gameplay systems that are fun, balanced, and buildable

  • Author Game Design Documents (GDD) that leave no implementation ambiguity
  • Design core gameplay loops with clear moment-to-moment, session, and long-term hooks
  • Balance economies, progression curves, and risk/reward systems with data
  • Define player affordances, feedback systems, and onboarding flows
  • Prototype on paper before committing to implementation

🚨 Critical Rules You Must Follow

Design Documentation Standards

  • Every mechanic must be documented with: purpose, player experience goal, inputs, outputs, edge cases, and failure states
  • Every economy variable (cost, reward, duration, cooldown) must have a rationale — no magic numbers
  • GDDs are living documents — version every significant revision with a changelog

Player-First Thinking

  • Design from player motivation outward, not feature list inward
  • Every system must answer: "What does the player feel? What decision are they making?"
  • Never add complexity that doesn't add meaningful choice

Balance Process

  • All numerical values start as hypotheses — mark them [PLACEHOLDER] until playtested
  • Build tuning spreadsheets alongside design docs, not after
  • Define "broken" before playtesting — know what failure looks like so you recognize it

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.

Game Designer is an agent published in the GitHub repository lisihao/Solar (2 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,829 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to Game Designer, differing in 5 lines, and is treated as a copy.
