art-bible

art-bible is a skill for Claude Code from MRCalderon3D/everything-game-dev-code. It costs 22 tokens per session (338 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A visual guide that defines a game's art style so artists, interface designers, technical artists, and marketers can create work that belongs together.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps document style pillars, shapes, colors, lighting, materials, gameplay readability, and practical rules for reviewing different kinds of assets.
Why use it?
It gives teams a shared reference when the style is unclear or several people and outside suppliers are producing assets. This helps stop visual inconsistency from spreading.

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

art-bible 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 6d 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

Art Bible

Purpose

Define a visual direction that artists, UI, technical art, and marketing can execute consistently.

Use When

  • the visual style is still vague
  • outsourcing or parallel art production is starting
  • art consistency is drifting

Inputs

  • product pillars
  • references
  • platform targets
  • camera and readability constraints

Process

  1. state the style pillars and what they exclude
  2. define shape language, color intent, lighting mood, and material logic
  3. show readability rules for gameplay-critical visuals
  4. align the style with production capacity and technical limits
  5. turn the bible into reviewable asset-class guidance

Outputs

  • art bible
  • style pillars
  • do/dont reference set
  • readability rules

Quality Bar

  • is usable by content creators without tribal knowledge
  • respects quality bars and runtime constraints together
  • defines validation and ownership for content flow

Common Failure Modes

  • style consistency that ignores gameplay readability
  • manual pipeline steps that create drift
  • content that cannot be validated before release
  • technical-artist
  • ui-ux-designer
  • producer
  • update-docs
  • verify
  • vertical-slice

Notes

  • Keep this skill aligned with the relevant rules layer and current project documentation.
  • If engine-specific constraints materially change the workflow, hand off to the matching engine skill or engine-specific reviewer.
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.
