game-design-prototyping-companion is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Stanestane/game-design-skills-bundle. It costs 92 tokens per session (922 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A companion for tracking game prototypes, including possible next steps, outcomes, abandoned paths, starting points, and experiments. It can also create a simple SVG diagram showing how the prototype developed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record prototype decisions, compare follow-up experiments, document dead ends, and visualize the evolution of a prototype.
Why use it?
It helps teams preserve what they learned from different prototype branches and return to earlier ideas without losing context.

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-design-prototyping-companion 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/branch_map_svg.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

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.
