What it does

Teach The Game is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Build a 5-minute teach script for any board game so the table starts playing instead of listening — theme first, goal second, a turn third, exceptions only when they come up. Use when someone says 'how do I explain Catan/Wingspan/this game', 'teaching my family a game tonight', 'my rules explanations kill the mood', or 'make a teach script'. Produces a spoken-word teach script with a first-turn walkthrough and a what-to-skip list.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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

  • Someone says how do I explain Catan/Wingspan/this game
  • Teaching my family a game tonight
  • My rules explanations kill the mood
  • Make a teach script

Example prompts

  • “how do I explain Catan/Wingspan/this game”
  • “teaching my family a game tonight”
  • “my rules explanations kill the mood”
  • “/teach-the-game”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify before teaching. State the rules from knowledge of the named game,
  2. Open with theme + goal in two sentences. "You're settlers on an island;
  3. Teach the turn, not the rules. Describe one full turn's shape, then what
  4. Script the first turn live. The teach ends with the first player taking a
  5. Tune to the table. Younger/newer players get the "you can't really break

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Teach The Game loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 554 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~112
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

description
Build a 5-minute teach script for any board game so the table starts playing instead of listening — theme first, goal second, a turn third, exceptions only when they come up. Use when someone says 'how do I explain Catan/Wingspan/this game', 'teaching my family a game tonight', 'my rules explanations kill the mood', or 'make a teach script'. Produces a spoken-word teach script with a first-turn walkthrough and a what-to-skip list.

Teach The Game Skill

Every ruined game night dies the same way: someone reads the rulebook aloud for twenty minutes to people who stopped listening at three. Good teachers invert the rulebook: theme → goal → the shape of a turn → play immediately, rules arriving only when they're needed. This skill writes that teach as a script to say out loud, tuned to the actual table — the 8-year-old, the spouse who "doesn't do complicated", the friend who min-maxes everything.

What This Skill Produces

  • A 5-minute teach script in spoken language (not rulebook language), in the teach order: hook → goal → turn shape → first decisions
  • A first-turn walkthrough ("Sarah, you go first: your options right now are…") that starts the game during the teach
  • A skip list: rules deliberately left for when they trigger, with the one-line version to say when they do
  • A table-tuning note: what to emphasise or drop for this specific group

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

  • The game (and edition/expansions in play, if any)
  • Who's at the table: count, ages, gaming experience, attention spans
  • Has the teacher played it before, or is this a learn-and-teach?
  • Time pressure: casual evening or a tight slot?

Process

  1. Verify before teaching. State the rules from knowledge of the named game, but flag anything uncertain with "check the rulebook here" rather than guessing — a confident wrong teach is worse than a pause. If the game is obscure or heavily house-ruled, ask the user to paste the rules summary and build the script from that.
  2. Open with theme + goal in two sentences. "You're settlers on an island; first to 10 points wins. Points come from building." Never open with setup or components.
  3. Teach the turn, not the rules. Describe one full turn's shape, then what the interesting decision is. Rule of thumb: if it doesn't happen every turn, it goes to the skip list.
  4. Script the first turn live. The teach ends with the first player taking a real turn with coaching — playing is the last third of teaching.
  5. Tune to the table. Younger/newer players get the "you can't really break anything" line and one strategy hint each; experienced players get the edge-case locations ("scoring exceptions are on the back page when you want them").

Output Format

## The teach: [game] in ~5 minutes
[Spoken-word script, with (stage directions) — point at things, deal things]

## Start playing here
[First-turn walkthrough with the actual first player's options]

## Saved for later (say these one-liners when they come up)
- [rule]: "[one-line version]"

## For YOUR table
[2-3 adjustments for this specific group]

Quality Checks

  • Goal stated in the first three sentences of the script
  • The script survives being read aloud in under 5 minutes at talking pace (~700 words max)
  • Nothing in the skip list is needed to take the first two turns
  • Uncertain rules are flagged for rulebook verification, never bluffed
  • The script asks the teacher to put components in players' hands early — hands busy, attention held

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not follow the rulebook's chapter order — it's a reference document, not a teach
  • Do not front-load exceptions and edge cases; that's what the skip list is for
  • Do not invent or misstate rules for a named game — flag uncertainty; a table can wait ten seconds for the rulebook, not recover from a wrong teach
  • Do not write a lecture — it's a script with the table participating by sentence three
  • Do not exceed the table: an 8-year-old at the table changes every sentence

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "How do I explain Catan/Wingspan/this game?"
  • "Teach my family a game tonight."
  • "My rules explanations kill the mood."
  • "Make a teach script."
