What it does

Board Game Night Planner is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Plan a board game night that actually lands — the right games for your group size, mix, and time, in a running order that keeps energy up. Use when asked to plan a game night, what board game should we play, games for [N] people, or what to play with a mixed group. Produces game picks matched to player count and experience, a warm-up-to-main running order, teach-time and play-time estimates, and swaps for the non-gamers or the one player who hates losing.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to plan a game night
  • What board game should we play
  • Games for [N] people
  • What to play with a mixed group

Example prompts

  • “/board-game-night-planner”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Player count first. Filter to games that play well at your exact number — the most common reason a night flops.
  2. Match weight to the room. Casual crowd → light/party games; a heavy euro will lose them. Save the brain-burner for the people who want it.
  3. Order for energy. Open with a short, easy game while people arrive; peak with the main event; end on a light filler.
  4. Budget the teach time. A 25-minute rules lecture kills momentum — pick games whose teach fits the group's patience.
  5. Include everyone. Have a co-op or team option and a party game so no one's frozen out or crushed.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, 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

Board Game Night Planner loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 635 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~121
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Board Game Night Planner

A game night dies when the game doesn't fit the group — too long, too heavy for casual players, or bad at your player count. This picks games that fit who's actually coming and how long you've got, orders them so the night builds instead of stalling on a 20-minute rules explanation, and plans for the friend who "doesn't really do board games."

What This Skill Produces

  • Game picks that fit the count — games that shine at your number (a great 4-player game can be dull at 2 or 6)
  • A running order — a quick warm-up, a main event, a filler for the tail end
  • Teach + play estimates — how long to explain and to play, so the night fits the window
  • Group-fit swaps — lighter picks for casual players, a party game to include everyone
  • The "sore loser / late arrival" plan — co-op or team options and drop-in-friendly games

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Who & how many — player count, ages, and experience (casual vs into it)
  • Time — total window and any hard end
  • What you own or can get — your shelf, or open to suggestions
  • The vibe — competitive, co-op, party/laughs, strategy
  • Constraints — non-gamers present, kids, language, someone who hates conflict/losing

Programmatic Helper

Two of the things that actually derail a game night — the teach going long, and an argument nobody can settle — have a lookup rather than an opinion behind them:

bash
npx --yes @mohitagw15856/rulebook find --players 5 --minutes 45   # what fits the slot
npx --yes @mohitagw15856/rulebook teach catan                     # a teach script, timed
npx --yes @mohitagw15856/rulebook ruling catan "can we trade on someone else's turn"

find filters 37 games by player count, length, weight and downtime. teach gives a running order for explaining one, with honest timings. ruling returns the actual rule and how commonly each house rule is played — which is what ends the argument, because the disagreement is usually between two groups who each learned it differently and are both partly right.

Use the teach times from teach in the running order below rather than estimating them. A night runs long because the teach ran long.

Framework: Fit The Group, Build The Arc

  1. Player count first. Filter to games that play well at your exact number — the most common reason a night flops.
  2. Match weight to the room. Casual crowd → light/party games; a heavy euro will lose them. Save the brain-burner for the people who want it.
  3. Order for energy. Open with a short, easy game while people arrive; peak with the main event; end on a light filler.
  4. Budget the teach time. A 25-minute rules lecture kills momentum — pick games whose teach fits the group's patience.
  5. Include everyone. Have a co-op or team option and a party game so no one's frozen out or crushed.

Output Format

Game night: [N players] · [experience] · [time window] · [vibe]

Running order

  1. Warm-up: [game] — teach ~[x]m, play ~[y]m. Why: [fits arriving/casual].
  2. Main: [game] — teach ~[x]m, play ~[y]m. Why: [shines at N, matches vibe].
  3. Filler: [game] — quick, light close.

If there are non-gamers: [party/co-op swap]. If someone hates losing: [co-op or team game]. Fits the window? [yes / trim to X].

Quality Checks

  • Every pick plays well at the stated player count
  • Game weight matches the group's experience
  • Running order builds energy (warm-up → main → filler)
  • Teach + play times are estimated against the time window
  • Includes an option so non-gamers/sore-losers aren't excluded

Anti-Patterns

  • Ignoring player count — recommending a 3–4 player game for 6.
  • A heavy strategy game for a casual, tipsy crowd.
  • All main events, no warm-up — momentum stalls on rules.
  • Forgetting the non-gamer who then sits out all night.
  • Overstuffing the window so the main game gets cut mid-play.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Game night for 5, mixed group, about 3 hours — what should we play?"
  • "What board game is good for exactly 2 people?"
  • "We've got non-gamers coming — pick something everyone can enjoy."
  • "Plan an order of games for a 6-person party night."
  • "Something co-op so my competitive friend doesn't rage-quit."
