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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00051 | $0.01770 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00885 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00354 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00177 |
Grade A, and why
roguelike 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 13d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Roguelike
A playbook for roguelikes — the turn engine, procedural dungeons, field-of-view, permadeath, and run economy. This is a compositional skill: it orchestrates procedural generation, tilemaps, save handling, and AI into a run-based game. It does not re-teach noise/RNG or tilemap APIs; it defines the loop and the systems that make a run compelling.
When to use
- Use when building a turn-based, grid-based dungeon crawler where each death ends the run and the world is regenerated — a roguelike or "roguelite" (with meta-progression).
- Use when designing procedural dungeons, FOV/fog-of-war, permadeath stakes, or loot tables.
When not to use: real-time action with roguelike dressing → build the action genre
(platformer/fps-shooter) and layer procedural-gen. Deep stats/quests/dialogue without
permadeath → rpg. Open-world needs/crafting → survival-crafting.
What makes it a roguelike (design anchor)
The community reference is the Berlin Interpretation (RogueBasin, IRDC 2008): a set of "roguelikeness" factors, not a checklist. The high-value ones are the design targets: random environment generation, permadeath, turn-based, grid-based, non-modal (all actions in one mode), complexity (many item/monster interactions), resource management, hack-and-slash, and exploration & discovery. Lean into these to feel roguelike; pick which to keep deliberately. "Roguelite" usually relaxes permadeath with meta-progression.
Core loop
Take a turn (move / fight / use) → the world resolves its turn → see new state → descend / loot / survive → die and restart with a fresh dungeon. Replayability comes from the world changing each run, not the player memorizing a fixed layout.
Must-have systems
- Turn scheduler — energy/initiative system so fast actors act more often (Pattern 2).
- Grid map + movement — tile coordinates; bump-to-attack; blocked/walkable queries.
- Procedural dungeon generator — rooms + corridors, or BSP/cellular; guarantee connectivity.
- Field of view + explored memory — what's visible now vs. seen-before (Pattern 3 / refs).
- Combat + entities — HP, attack/defense, status; monsters obey the same rules as the player.
- Loot + drop tables — weighted, depth-scaled item/monster spawning (refs).
- Permadeath + (optional) meta-progression — wipe the run; persist only unlocks/score.
- Message log + clear UI — the player reasons from text/state; surface numbers and events.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

roguelike is a skill published in the GitHub repository gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills (952 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,770 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
assets-get-data
Get asset data from the asset file in the Unity project — every serializable field and property. Supports token-saving path-scoped reads via paths or viewQuery. Use 'assets-find' to find the asset first.
gameobject-set-parent
Reparent a batch of GameObjects under a new parent in the currently opened Prefab or active Scene. Per-item failures are reported in the returned status string instead of aborting the batch. Use 'gameobject-find' to locate the GameObjects first.
unity-version-split
Split a C# file into Unity 6.5+ and pre-Unity 6.5 variants. Use when a file needs different implementations for different Unity versions due to API changes (e.g., EntityId vs int, GetEntityId vs GetInstanceID).
profiler-save-data
Save a snapshot of profiler-derived stats (status + memory + rendering + script + frame capture) to a JSON file. Built-in Unity APIs only.
assets-shader-list-all
List all shaders available in the project assets and packages, sorted by name. Use this to discover a valid shaderName for 'assets-material-create'.
profiler-stop
Disable Unity's runtime profiler. Idempotent — calling when already disabled returns the current disabled state.
