Systematic grounding workflow for this civ-game repository. An agent skill from HkingAuditore/civ-game.

  • Works in 8 steps: Scope the request in one sentence. → Identify affected domain: logic, config,… → Read current implementation before… → …

What it does

Civ Grounded Development is an agent skill from HkingAuditore/civ-game. Systematic grounding workflow for this civ-game repository. Use when handling any feature, bugfix, refactor, balancing change, UI update, or architecture adjustment in this repo. Force a "read-first, understand-first" process covering project architecture, gameplay logic, economic mechanisms, and numeric systems before implementation. Reuse existing systems by default; if a new subsystem is truly unavoidable, notify the user first and wait for confirmation.

Its SKILL.md is about 790 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/system-map.md`).

When your agent uses it

  • Handling any feature
  • Balancing change
  • Architecture adjustment in this repo

Example prompts

  • “read-first, understand-first”
  • “/civ-grounded-development”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Scope the request in one sentence.
  2. Identify affected domain: logic, config, components, hooks, utils, workers.
  3. Read current implementation before proposing changes
  4. Write a short "existing mechanism summary" before coding
  5. Implement by extending existing system first
  6. Add concise Chinese comments only for non-obvious logic.
  7. Validate with available checks (npm run lint, npm run build) when feasible.
  8. Report results with

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1bb4a00. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Civ Grounded Development loads about 785 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 122 tokens; SKILL.md has 334 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~122
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~785
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 334 words (~785 tokens).

“Enforce repository-grounded development. Read relevant code first, map existing mechanisms, then implement inside the current architecture and data model.”
