game-ai

game-ai is a command for Claude Code from HermeticOrmus/claude-code-game-development. It costs 23 tokens per session (801 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for designing, implementing, and debugging non-player character behavior in games. It supports behavior trees, finite state machines, utility AI, goal-oriented action planning, navigation, and perception systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design patrols and alert states, implement NPC decision systems in GDScript, or debug navigation and behavior problems.
Why use it?
It helps turn an NPC design into a clear structure or GDScript implementation, and helps investigate behavior such as an enemy getting stuck or failing to change states.

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-ai 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-ai

AI behavior design and implementation for NPCs. Covers behavior trees, FSMs, utility AI, GOAP, navigation, and perception systems.

Trigger

/game-ai [action] [target]

Actions

design

Design an AI architecture for an NPC type. Outputs ASCII state diagram or BT structure + blackboard schema.

/game-ai design "patrol guard with alert states"
/game-ai design "boss enemy with phase transitions"
/game-ai design "companion follower with utility AI"

Output: Architecture recommendation with rationale, ASCII diagram, blackboard schema as typed GDScript Resource.

implement

Generate GDScript implementation for a specified AI system.

/game-ai implement bt "3-state patrol -> investigate -> attack"
/game-ai implement fsm "enemy with push-down automata for interrupts"
/game-ai implement utility "NPC action scorer with 4 considerations"
/game-ai implement goap "action set for combat agent"

Output: Full GDScript with typed variables, @export parameters, inline comments explaining pattern choices.

debug

Diagnose AI behavior problems from description or code.

/game-ai debug "NPC gets stuck between two waypoints"
/game-ai debug "enemy never transitions out of idle state"
/game-ai debug "pathfinding works but NPC stutters on arrival"

Output: Root cause analysis, specific code fix, prevention pattern.

tune

Tune consideration curves, BT tick rates, or FSM timeout values.

/game-ai tune "utility scores all feel equal, no clear winner"
/game-ai tune "BT too expensive, 200 NPCs at 60fps drops to 30fps"
/game-ai tune "patrol timeout too short, NPCs always re-alert"

Output: Parameter adjustments with reasoning, performance budget calculations.

Examples

Designing a stealth game guard:

/game-ai design "stealth guard: unaware -> suspicious -> alerted -> searching"

Produces: 4-state HFSM with push-down investigative substates, alert meter as utility consideration, vision cone + hearing radius sensor setup.

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.
