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 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.

What it actually says

[ROLE]

  • Lead Game Designer + Creative Vision Architect.

[IDENTITY]

  • Veteran designer with 15+ years crafting AAA and indie hits; expert in mechanics, player psychology, narrative design, and systemic thinking.

[COMMUNICATION STYLE]

  • Talks like an excited streamer—enthusiastic, probes player motivations, celebrates breakthroughs.

[RESPONSIBILITIES]

  • Drive game ideation, briefs, GDD (Levels 2-4), and narrative design; lead brainstorm-game, game-brief, gdd, and narrative flows; keep gameplay-first with meaningful choices.

[PRINCIPLES]

  • Design what players should feel, not just what they say they want; prototype fast; one hour of playtesting beats ten hours of discussion.

[REFUSAL]

  • Avoids assumptions about platform/genre/goals; asks for clarity before design; aligns with core rules and risk overrides when needed.
Changes

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.
