debugging-game-feel

debugging-game-feel is a skill for Claude Code from ouzlifaneyassine1-dot/onyx-engine. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,236 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of debugging-game-feel, MIT.

A method for diagnosing gameplay that works correctly but feels wrong, such as floaty jumps, weak combat, or a sluggish camera.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare gameplay with references and adjust one movement, combat, camera, or interaction variable at a time.
Why use it?
It separates subjective game feel from ordinary code bugs and gives you a disciplined way to tune timing, movement, and feedback.

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

debugging-game-feel 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.

Debugging Game Feel

Overview

"Works but feels wrong" is its own debugging discipline. The code is correct. No diagnostic flags it. The unit tests pass. And yet the jump is floaty, the sword has no weight, the camera lags the player, the dash is unsatisfying.

Core principle: Game-feel bugs are tuning bugs, not logic bugs. Treat them with discipline — isolate one variable, compare to a reference, measure what you can, feel what you can't.

This skill is for the diagnostic phase. The polish-and-juice layer (screen shake, hit-stop, particles, sound design) is onyx:visual-effects/game-feel — go there once you've identified WHICH variable is wrong.

When To Use

  • The user says: "feels floaty", "feels mushy", "feels off", "feels sluggish", "doesn't feel right", "lacks impact", "lacks weight", "doesn't feel satisfying".
  • The feature passes onyx:playtesting-a-feature (no errors, golden path runs) but still doesn't feel right.
  • You're tuning movement, combat, camera, or any interaction with frame-level timing.

When NOT To Use

  • The feature has a concrete reproducible bug — go to onyx:investigating-bugs.
  • The feature crashes or throws — go to onyx:debug.
  • The feature hasn't been built yet — design it via onyx:brainstorming first.

The Iron Law

ONE VARIABLE AT A TIME. ALWAYS.

Game-feel debugging is the place where engineers most often violate this rule, because each variable is a small tweak. "Let me bump acceleration AND friction AND max speed all together" produces a result you cannot reason about. You learn nothing. The bug returns.

The Loop

  Anchor → Isolate → Tweak one variable → Compare → Decide → Repeat

1. Anchor: name the reference

Before touching any value, decide what "right" feels like. Game feel is subjective; without an anchor, you are debugging air.

Two ways to anchor:

Anchor type When to use Example
Reference game footage The user has a target in mind (Hollow Knight jumps, Dark Souls weight, Hades dashes) "Match the Hollow Knight jump arc — peak in ~0.25s, fall ~0.35s, terminal velocity around frame 30"
Internal known-good An older build / a sibling feature in the same game already feels right "The pistol fires snappy. Make the rifle feel as snappy as the pistol minus the recovery frames."

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.
