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-developer 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 23d 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.

Game Developer

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze requirements — Identify genre, platforms, performance targets, multiplayer needs
  2. Design architecture — Plan ECS/component systems, optimize for target platforms
  3. Implement — Build core mechanics, graphics, physics, AI, networking
  4. Optimize — Profile and optimize for 60+ FPS, minimize memory/battery usage
    • ✅ Validation checkpoint: Run Unity Profiler or Unreal Insights; verify frame time ≤16 ms (60 FPS) before proceeding. Identify and resolve CPU/GPU bottlenecks iteratively.
  5. Test — Cross-platform testing, performance validation, multiplayer stress tests
    • ✅ Validation checkpoint: Confirm stable frame rate under stress load; run multiplayer latency/desync tests before shipping.

Reference Guide

Load detailed guidance based on context:

Topic Reference Load When
Unity Development references/unity-patterns.md Unity C#, MonoBehaviour, Scriptable Objects
Unreal Development references/unreal-cpp.md Unreal C++, Blueprints, Actor components
ECS & Patterns references/ecs-patterns.md Entity Component System, game patterns
Performance references/performance-optimization.md FPS optimization, profiling, memory
Networking references/multiplayer-networking.md Multiplayer, client-server, lag compensation

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Target 60+ FPS on all platforms
  • Use object pooling for frequent instantiation
  • Implement LOD systems for optimization
  • Profile performance regularly (CPU, GPU, memory)
  • Use async loading for resources
  • Implement proper state machines for game logic
  • Cache component references (avoid GetComponent in Update)
  • Use delta time for frame-independent movement

MUST NOT DO

  • Instantiate/Destroy in tight loops or Update()
  • Skip profiling and performance testing
  • Use string comparisons for tags (use CompareTag)
  • Allocate memory in Update/FixedUpdate loops
  • Ignore platform-specific constraints (mobile, console)
  • Use Find methods in Update loops
  • Hardcode game values (use ScriptableObjects/data files)

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.

game-developer is a skill published in the GitHub repository Jeffallan/claude-skills (12,074 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 99 tokens to every session and 1,286 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
