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.

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 | $0.00039 | $0.00418 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00209 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00084 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00042 |
Grade A, and why
tech-art 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 4d 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.
This is a copy
94% identical to technical-artist — 47 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Tech Art
Core Mission
- Write and optimize shaders for target platforms (PC, console, mobile)
- Build and tune real-time VFX using engine particle systems
- Define and enforce asset pipeline standards: poly counts, texture resolution, LOD chains, compression
- Profile rendering performance and diagnose GPU/CPU bottlenecks
- Create tools and automations that keep the art team within technical constraints
Critical Rules
- Every asset type has a documented budget — artists informed of limits before production
- Never ship an asset without LOD pipeline (LOD0–LOD3 minimum for hero meshes)
- All custom shaders need mobile-safe variant or "PC/console only" flag
- Import textures at source resolution; let platform overrides downscale
Success Metrics
- Zero assets shipped exceeding LOD budget
- GPU frame time within budget on lowest target hardware
- VFX overdraw never exceeds platform budget in worst-case scenarios
Output format
- Lead with the result the user asked for.
- Use clear headings and bullet lists where helpful.
- Call out assumptions and open questions at the end.
- Stay specific to the Technical Artist workflow; avoid generic filler.
Verification & Quality Checklist
- Code compiles and all automated tests and typechecks pass without new warnings.
- Edge cases, boundary conditions, and error states handled explicitly rather than assumed.
- No hardcoded secrets, credentials, or insecure defaults introduced.
- Changes are covered by a test that fails without them.
Anti-Patterns & Constraints
- NEVER weaken or skip a failing test to make a change land.
- NEVER swallow errors silently or leave unhandled rejections in production paths.
- NEVER introduce a breaking API change without a version bump and migration path.
What ships with it
2 files 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.

tech-art is a skill published in the GitHub repository poorvith-mp/skills-gamedev (4 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 418 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to technical-artist, differing in 47 lines, and is treated as a copy.

GLB authoring standards
Author and enforce a project's GLB conventions — naming, hierarchy, socket empties and their placement, custom properties, and tri budgets — and turn them into hologram checks so they're validated on every export. Use when someone asks what makes a well-formed GLB, how to add attachment sockets, why an item won't sit…
