quick-design

quick-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from striderZA/OpenCodeGameStudios. It costs 57 tokens per session (2,234 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of quick-design, MIT.

A lightweight workflow for documenting a small game change, such as a balance adjustment or minor mechanic. It produces a short design specification instead of a full system document.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for tuning values, changing a small behavior, or adding a limited mechanic to an existing game system.
Why use it?
Small changes still need a clear reason and expected behavior, but a full design document would take more effort than the change deserves.

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

quick-design 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 275 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Quick Design

This is the lightweight design path for changes that don't need a full GDD. Full GDD authoring via /design-system is the heavyweight path. Use this skill for work under approximately 4 hours of implementation — tuning adjustments, minor behavioral tweaks, small additions to existing systems, or standalone features too small to warrant a full document.

Output: design/quick-specs/[name]-[date].md

When to run: Anytime a change is too small for /design-system but too meaningful to implement without a written rationale.


1. Classify the Change

First, read the argument and determine which category this change falls into:

  • Tuning — changing numbers or balance values in an existing system with no behavioral change (most minimal path). Example: "increase jump height from 5 to 6 units", "reduce enemy patrol speed by 10%".
  • Tweak — a small behavioral change to an existing system that introduces no new states, branches, or systems. Example: "make dash invincible on frame 1", "allow combo to cancel into roll".
  • Addition — adding a small mechanic to an existing system that may introduce 1-2 new states or interactions. Example: "add a parry window to the block mechanic", "add a charge variant to the basic attack".
  • New Small System — a standalone feature small enough that it has no existing GDD and is under approximately one week of implementation work. Example: "achievement popup system", "simple day/night visual cycle".

If the change does NOT fit these categories — it introduces a new system with significant cross-system dependencies, requires more than one week of implementation, or fundamentally alters an existing system's core rules — stop and redirect to /design-system instead.

Present the classification to the user and confirm it is correct before proceeding. If there is no argument, ask the user to describe the change.


2. Context Scan

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.
