prompt-to-game

prompt-to-game is a skill for Codex from frabcd/codex-ai-game-studio. It costs 26 tokens per session (445 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a game idea into the smallest playable prototype that proves the main experience. It covers design decisions, technology selection, implementation, and evidence that the prototype works.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define the player goal and game loop, choose a compatible engine, build a thin prototype, and document controls, limitations, screenshots, and test evidence.
Why use it?
It keeps an idea from expanding into an unbounded production project before the core gameplay is tested. Clear limits and playable slices make progress easier to judge.

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

prompt-to-game 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.

Prompt To Game

Outcome

Produce the smallest playable proof of the requested experience, not an unbounded production game.

Required inputs

  • one-sentence game idea
  • target platform
  • time, team, engine, art, and licensing constraints

Ask for missing information only when it changes the route materially. Otherwise state conservative assumptions and proceed with read-only analysis.

Workflow

  1. Clarify the player fantasy, core verb, fail and success conditions, session length, and non-goals.
  2. Define a one-loop prototype acceptance test and asset budget.
  3. Run toolchain diagnosis and recommend a compatible engine and generation route.
  4. Create a reversible implementation plan; require approval before files or external tools change.
  5. Implement in thin vertical slices with a playable build after every slice.
  6. Capture controls, known limitations, screenshots, test evidence, and provenance.

Expected artifacts

  • prototype brief
  • approved plan
  • playable build
  • controls sheet
  • evidence and provenance bundle

Workflow-specific gates

  • Prefer placeholder assets until the core loop is demonstrably fun.
  • Keep generated code and content reviewable in small, testable increments.
  • Stop scope growth that does not improve the prototype acceptance test.

Production completion gate

Before recommending production use, complete and report all seven gates:

  1. Rights, consent, code/model/dataset/output license, and generation-provenance checks.
  2. Technical format, naming, scale, color, metadata, and target-import validation.
  3. Visual and temporal consistency review across representative views and states.
  4. Runtime memory, frame-time, draw-call, streaming, and asset-budget checks.
  5. Playability and interaction smoke tests in the target runtime.
  6. Screenshot, capture, diff, or artifact-regression evidence with reproducible settings.
  7. Human approval before replacing source assets or promoting generated output.

Unknown rights, missing consent, unsupported hardware, conflicting host adapters, or failed quality gates block production promotion. Preserve originals and make fallbacks explicit.

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.
