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 | $0.00046 | $0.01553 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00776 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00311 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00155 |
Grade A, and why
rpg 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 — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
RPG
A playbook for role-playing games — stats and progression, inventory/equipment, quests, dialogue, and combat. This is a compositional skill: it ties data-driven content, dialogue, and saving together. It does not re-teach those primitives; it defines the systems that make growth and choice feel meaningful, and points to the skills that implement each.
When to use
- Use when building an RPG/JRPG/action-RPG: the player has stats that grow, an inventory, quests, dialogue, and persistent progress.
- Use when designing a leveling curve, a damage formula, an inventory/equipment model, or a quest state machine.
When not to use: permadeath dungeon runs with no persistent character → roguelike.
Pure conversation/branching story → visual-novel. Open-world needs/crafting/base-building →
survival-crafting. For the dialogue engine itself, use dialogue-systems.
Core loop
Explore → encounter (fight / talk / solve) → earn rewards (XP, loot, story) → grow (level up, gear up, unlock) → take on harder content. The fantasy is getting stronger and shaping who your character is; every system should feed that growth-and-choice loop.
Must-have systems
- Stats + leveling — base attributes, derived combat stats, XP curve, level-up gains.
- Inventory + equipment — data-defined items, stacking, slots, stat modifiers.
- Combat — turn-based or action; damage formula, status effects, win/loss.
- Quests — objectives, state machine (available→active→complete→turned-in), rewards.
- Dialogue — branching lines, conditions on game state, choices that matter.
- Save/load — persist character, inventory, quest progress, world flags, with versioning.
- Economy + progression gating — gold/shops; gate power behind level/quest/region.
- UI — HUD, inventory, quest log, dialogue box, character sheet.
Design knobs
| Knob | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| XP curve shape | pacing of power | Fast early, slow late (see refs). |
| Stat→derived scaling | build diversity | One attribute shouldn't dominate. |
| Damage formula | tactical feel | Subtractive vs. ratio mitigation (refs). |
| Random variance / crit | swinginess | ±10% and ~1.5× crit are safe defaults. |
| Drop rates / economy | reward cadence | Avoid trivializing shops with loot. |
| Power gating | difficulty gating | Level/region/quest locks. |
| Reversible modifiers | buff/gear correctness | Layer mods; never edit base stats. |
| Choice consequence | role-play weight | Quest/dialogue flags should branch outcomes. |
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.

rpg 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 46 tokens to every session and 1,553 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 2026-08-30.
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.
