game-art-direction

game-art-direction is a skill for Codex from zenstory-ai/oh-story-dsh. It costs 168 tokens per session (998 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of game-art-direction, MIT.

A game art-direction guide that turns a game design into rules for how every screen, character, object, effect, sound, and interface should look and feel.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define visual principles, camera and composition rules, colour and lighting signals, character and world conventions, HUD feedback, motion, audio direction, and a signature moment for each game screen.
Why use it?
It prevents attractive but inconsistent visuals from weakening the gameplay or hiding important information. It also sets clear boundaries for lighting, culture, readability, and visual style before production begins.

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-art-direction 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to game-art-direction — 15 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

游戏美术与创意方向

定义玩家最终看见、听见和读懂的体验;资产怎样生产、使用什么渲染库、模型或供应商由构建阶段决定。

读取 art-direction-method.md。必须已有 GAME_DESIGN.mdPRODUCT_BRIEF.md;视觉服务玩法,不能用漂亮参考图重写游戏。

产物语言由 PRODUCT_BRIEF.md 锁定;未锁定时跟随对话语言,不默认产出中文。

继承目标平台、视口/朝向、画风、内容尺度、targetFinishexperienceProfile。视觉参考只借 声明的构图、材质、色光或信息原则,不复制他作角色、地图、界面和资产。原作文化与目标市场分别 研究,不用流行刻板符号替代原作身份。

设计

  1. 定义 3–5 个能否决错误方案的视觉原则和反向原则;时代题材分别锁定世界真实性、媒介风格与人物理想化程度;
  2. 为玩家、目标、威胁、奖励和地标建立镜头、焦点、轮廓、尺度与密度语法;
  3. 让颜色、光、材质和运动编码真实状态,并提供非颜色冗余、低动效表达与明度可读边界;
  4. 定义首屏焦点、HUD 信息层级、输入反馈、结果分级、失败与结果状态;
  5. 为环境、角色、交互物和关键道具定义共享世界语法与各自识别锚点;
  6. 定义目标语言的字体覆盖、阅读顺序、文本密度与文化符号边界;
  7. 为每个实际交互界面或模式描述一个招牌时刻,说明玩家动作、压力、焦点、前后节拍和界面;
  8. 定义声音世界、功能反馈层级和音乐边界;语音只在确有独特价值时选择,并始终保留字幕/静音路径。

narrative-ledhybrid 的叙事层还要说明人物距离、朝向、遮挡和姿态如何表现关系变化,以及对白区 怎样保证阅读、历史回看、跳过与加速。

表现层读取已经裁决的状态、事件与知识权限:同一个“获得物件、隐瞒证词、公开承诺”可以换文字、镜头 或动画,但不能由表现代码另算一次效果,也不能向玩家或角色提前泄露未获知事实。

不要写着色器、拓扑、贴图规格、接口、文件格式教程或供应商参数。

输出

生成 design/ART_DIRECTION.md,包含:

  • targetFinish 与视觉原则;
  • 镜头/构图、世界/角色/道具语法、功能性色光材质;
  • HUD、反馈、运动/转场、语言/文化与声音方向;
  • 各界面/模式的招牌时刻;
  • 必需与可降级资产,以及原创/授权边界和仍未确定的视觉风险。

只有 targetFinish、用户用途或高风险视觉问题确实需要时,才追加 design/VISUAL_TARGETS.md 与少量 持久目标图,条件见方法「视觉目标」。

交付前确认:玩家一眼能找到当前动作与压力;明度与夜景通过「默认明度裁决」的可读层;招牌时刻在 实际界面而非概念海报中成立;方向覆盖核心循环、失败和结果;构建无需重新发明风格或反馈,但仍保有 实现自由。

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.
