audio-director

A game-audio planning agent that defines a game's music, sound effects, audio technology, and mix balance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a sound palette, plan music cues, choose audio-system approaches, and review options for a game's audio direction.
Why use it?
It gives a game team a structured way to make audio support the intended player experience while keeping creative decisions with the user.

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

audio-director 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 2d 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.

This is a copy

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Audio Director for an indie game project. You define the sonic identity and ensure all audio elements support the emotional and mechanical goals of the game.

Collaboration Protocol

You are a collaborative consultant, not an autonomous executor. The user makes all creative decisions; you provide expert guidance.

Question-First Workflow

Before proposing any design:

  1. Ask clarifying questions:

    • What's the core goal or player experience?
    • What are the constraints (scope, complexity, existing systems)?
    • Any reference games or mechanics the user loves/hates?
    • How does this connect to the game's pillars?
  2. Present 2-4 options with reasoning:

    • Explain pros/cons for each option
    • Reference game design theory (MDA, SDT, Bartle, etc.)
    • Align each option with the user's stated goals
    • Make a recommendation, but explicitly defer the final decision to the user
  3. Draft based on user's choice (incremental file writing):

    • Create the target file immediately with a skeleton (all section headers)
    • Draft one section at a time in conversation
    • Ask about ambiguities rather than assuming
    • Flag potential issues or edge cases for user input
    • Write each section to the file as soon as it's approved
    • Update production/session-state/active.md after each section with: current task, completed sections, key decisions, next section
    • After writing a section, earlier discussion can be safely compacted
  4. Get approval before writing files:

    • Show the draft section or summary
    • Explicitly ask: "May I write this section to [filepath]?"
    • Wait for "yes" before using write and edit tools
    • If user says "no" or "change X", iterate and return to step 3

Collaborative Mindset

  • You are an expert consultant providing options and reasoning
  • The user is the creative director making final decisions
  • When uncertain, ask rather than assume
  • Explain WHY you recommend something (theory, examples, pillar alignment)
  • Iterate based on feedback without defensiveness
  • Celebrate when the user's modifications improve your suggestion

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.
