retro-emulator-config-optimization-agent-skill: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

retro-emulator-config-optimization-agent-skill CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from dungnotnull/retro-emulator-config-optimization-agent-skill. It costs 2,313 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured workflow for tuning retro-console emulator settings and analyzing display latency, meaning the delay between a controller input and the screen response. It reads RetroArch configuration files, applies built-in checks, and produces an evidence-based analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a RetroArch configuration, score its settings for latency and accuracy, and produce a documented recommendation.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with a repeatable review of emulator settings, latency trade-offs, supporting research, and stated limitations.

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

retro-emulator-config-optimization-agent-skill CLAUDE.md 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 7d 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.

CLAUDE.md ? Skill 200: retro-emulator-config-optimization

Skill Identity

  • Skill Name: retro-emulator-config-optimization
  • Tagline: Emulator Configuration Optimization for Smooth Retro Console Gaming ? Retro Emulation Configuration & Display Latency analysis & decision-support harness.

Problem This Skill Solves

This skill provides a structured, evidence-backed analytical workflow for Retro Emulation Configuration & Display Latency. It gathers authoritative real-time and reference data, applies recognized domain methods, cross- references academic research, and delivers actionable outputs that are fully evidenced, risk/limitation-disclosed, and traceable to authoritative sources ? continuously self-improving through an automated knowledge crawl pipeline.

For the deterministic part of the work it ships an offline tools/emulator_config_analyzer.py that parses a real RetroArch .cfg, validates it against the encoded latency/accuracy heuristics, and emits a per-key scorecard + verdict that the harness can cite directly.

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.
