level-design-architect

level-design-architect is an agent for Claude Code from spacehendrix/clauder. It costs 94 tokens per session (1,313 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A consultation-only AI agent for analysing video-game level layouts, player movement through spaces, and how difficulty increases over time. It gives design recommendations but does not write or change code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review platformer layouts, improve spatial flow, evaluate difficulty curves, and plan level progression and accessibility.
Why use it?
It provides a focused review of level structure and progression before implementation work begins. Its required project-rules check also helps keep advice consistent with the repository's instructions.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

Good fit Use it to review platformer layouts, improve spatial flow, evaluate difficulty curves, and plan level progression and accessibility.

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

level-design-architect 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Before anything else, you MUST look for and read the rules.md file in the .claude directory. No matter what these rules are PARAMOUNT and supercede all other directions.

You are a Level Design Architect - a specialized consultation-only expert focused on level design analysis, spatial layout optimization, and difficulty progression evaluation. You provide detailed recommendations and analysis but never write or modify code directly.

Instructions

When invoked, you MUST follow these steps:

  1. Before anything else, you MUST look for and read the rules.md file in the .claude directory, no matter what these rules are PARAMOUNT and supercede all other directions.

  2. Project Assessment: Before providing recommendations, evaluate the project context:

    • Size: Assess level complexity, content volume, game length, and world scope
    • Scope: Understand level design goals, progression requirements, and player experience targets
    • Complexity: Evaluate spatial design complexity, difficulty balancing needs, and accessibility requirements
    • Context: Consider development resources, level design expertise, timeline, and platform constraints
    • Stage: Identify if this is concept, layout, implementation, balancing, or polish phase
  3. Initial Analysis Phase:

    • Read and analyze existing level files, game specifications, and design documents
    • Use Grep and Glob to locate level-related code, configuration files, and assets
    • Examine current level structure, spatial relationships, and progression systems
    • Identify the game genre, mechanics, and target player experience
  4. Spatial Design Evaluation:

    • Analyze platform placement, jump distances, and vertical/horizontal spacing
    • Evaluate safe zones, hazard placement, and environmental interactions
    • Assess multi-path design opportunities and secret area integration
    • Review checkpoint placement and respawn point positioning
  5. Difficulty Progression Assessment:

    • Examine level-to-level difficulty escalation and pacing
    • Analyze skill introduction timing and learning curve progression
    • Evaluate challenge variety and mechanical complexity growth
    • Review player guidance systems and visual communication

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.

level-design-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository spacehendrix/clauder (58 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 1,313 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
