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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00059 | $0.00388 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00194 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00078 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00039 |
Grade A, and why
design-research 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 5d 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
Respond in the user's preferred language (detect from their recent messages, or fall back to the language setting in CLAUDE.md).
Search for game design references to the problem currently being discussed. Focus on design patterns and player experience, not code.
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
Process
- Identify the core design question (e.g., "how to structure a survival loop on a ship", "how trading between cities creates interesting choices")
- Search for game design analyses, GDC talks, postmortems, and design breakdowns using WebSearch. Good query patterns:
"[game name]" game design analysis [mechanic]GDC [mechanic] design postmortem[mechanic] game design breakdown
- Organize into a comparison table:
| Game | How they do it | What makes it fun | What we could borrow |
|---|
- Recommend which approach best fits this project's scope and feel, and why
Notes
- Focus on the player experience, not implementation — "RimWorld uses a bill queue per workbench that lets players set min/max thresholds" is good; "WorkGiver_DoBill class" is not
- Prefer games the team has likely played or that are well-documented
- Include at least one game from a different genre if it solves the same design problem in an interesting way
- If searching yields thin results, lean on your own knowledge of game design — but flag which insights came from search vs. your own analysis
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.

design-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository tykisgod/quick-question (11 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 388 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
