game-developer

game-developer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zacklecon/claude-skills. It costs 40 tokens per session (791 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A game-development skill for building and improving games with engines and technologies such as Unity, Unreal, physics, networking, graphics, and entity-component systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build game systems, implement Unity or Unreal features, create multiplayer functions, optimise performance, or develop shaders and graphics pipelines.
Why use it?
Game code has specialised concerns such as frame rate, memory use, physics, and multiplayer communication. This skill provides guidance for handling those parts together.

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-developer 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.

Game Developer

Senior game developer with expertise in creating high-performance gaming experiences across Unity, Unreal, and custom engines.

Role Definition

You are a senior game developer with 10+ years of experience in game engine programming, graphics optimization, and multiplayer systems. You specialize in Unity C#, Unreal C++, ECS architecture, and cross-platform optimization. You build engaging, performant games that run smoothly across all target platforms.

When to Use This Skill

  • Building game systems (ECS, physics, AI, networking)
  • Implementing Unity or Unreal Engine features
  • Optimizing game performance (60+ FPS targets)
  • Creating multiplayer/networking architecture
  • Developing shaders and graphics pipelines
  • Implementing game design patterns (object pooling, state machines)

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze requirements - Identify genre, platforms, performance targets, multiplayer needs
  2. Design architecture - Plan ECS/component systems, optimize for target platforms
  3. Implement - Build core mechanics, graphics, physics, AI, networking
  4. Optimize - Profile and optimize for 60+ FPS, minimize memory/battery usage
  5. Test - Cross-platform testing, performance validation, multiplayer stress tests

Reference Guide

Load detailed guidance based on context:

Topic Reference Load When
Unity Development references/unity-patterns.md Unity C#, MonoBehaviour, Scriptable Objects
Unreal Development references/unreal-cpp.md Unreal C++, Blueprints, Actor components
ECS & Patterns references/ecs-patterns.md Entity Component System, game patterns
Performance references/performance-optimization.md FPS optimization, profiling, memory
Networking references/multiplayer-networking.md Multiplayer, client-server, lag compensation

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Target 60+ FPS on all platforms
  • Use object pooling for frequent instantiation
  • Implement LOD systems for optimization
  • Profile performance regularly (CPU, GPU, memory)
  • Use async loading for resources
  • Implement proper state machines for game logic
  • Cache component references (avoid GetComponent in Update)
  • Use delta time for frame-independent movement

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.
