Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00032 | $0.00447 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00224 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00089 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00045 |
Grade A, and why
isometric-art-direction 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 12d 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
Isometric Art Direction
Overview
The difference between a hobby project and a polished game is consistency. This skill produces a one-page style sheet that every other asset skill must obey, so 200 generated assets look like one game instead of a random asset dump.
When to Use
- Before generating the first tile, sprite, or building.
- Assets already look mismatched and need a unifying standard.
- Multiple people or sessions will generate art.
Process
- Fix the projection: true 2:1 isometric (dimetric). Write it down.
- Fix the light direction (e.g. top-left) and keep it identical on every asset.
- Define a tight color palette (8-12 swatches) and forbid off-palette colors.
- Define the tile base size in pixels (e.g. 128x64) and the anchor point.
- Pick ONE shading style (soft painterly / cel / pixel) and one reference image.
- Write all of this into a single STYLE.md and link it from every asset prompt.
- Generate 3 test assets and confirm they look like the same game before scaling up.
Rationalizations (Stop Lying to Yourself)
| Excuse | Reality |
|---|---|
| "I will keep the style consistent in my head" | Your head is not version-controlled. Write the style sheet. |
| "I can fix the style later" | Restyling 150 assets later costs 10x more than agreeing now. |
Red Flags - STOP if you catch yourself:
- No written style sheet exists.
- Light direction changes between assets.
- Color palette grows uncontrolled with every generation.
Verification
You are NOT done until every box is checked:
- A STYLE.md exists with projection, light, palette, scale, anchor, shading.
- 3 test assets visibly belong to the same game.
- Every asset prompt references the style sheet.
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.

isometric-art-direction is a skill published in the GitHub repository 0xheycat/isometric-game-skills (15 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 447 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
