What it does
Game Direction is an agent skill from nodetool-ai/nodetool. Set the feel, level pacing, and art direction before building or revising a native game. Use for a new game, a showcase, a visual overhaul, or a game that plays correctly but feels flat.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Media & Creative. The repository describes itself as: Agent-first Creative Workspace. The licence is AGPL-3.0.
When your agent uses it
- A visual overhaul
- A game that plays correctly but feels flat
Example prompts
- “/game-direction”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 58765d3. 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
Game Direction loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 777 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Direct a native game
Lock a short direction spec before the first game edit or asset generation.
State the spec in the conversation, then build within the requested scope.
For an existing game, read it and preserve its established direction unless
the brief asks for a change. native-game owns the tool and schema contracts.
Direction spec
| Decision | Record before building |
|---|---|
| Player promise | The action that should feel satisfying, the challenge, and the observable win condition |
| Style string | One exact reusable string naming medium, palette, edge treatment, lighting, and texture |
| Layer plan | Sky, far background, midground, play layer, and foreground, with their depth, contrast, and parallax |
| Feel parameters | Movement speed, acceleration and braking, jump height and duration, coyote ticks, buffer ticks, and feedback timing |
| Pacing sheet | Ordered teaching beats, their safe practice area, challenge, recovery, and finish |
| Asset plan | Hero poses, aligned frames, terrain edge variants, effects, sound cues, music, and fonts |
| Proof route | Start scene, required targets, win signal, expected duration, and captures at the teaching beat and hardest section |
For a small prototype, keep each row to one sentence and use only the layers
and assets the brief needs. A showcase needs a visible depth plan and a finished
art pass. Load native-game for the document fields and list_example_games
and get_example_game for shipped references. Study Kindle for a platformer
with animated poses, terrain edges, parallax, lights, sound cues, and a grade.
Use its decisions as a benchmark for the brief, without copying its theme.
One style string
Repeat the locked style string verbatim in every visual prompt. Add the asset's role, dimensions, framing, and transparency requirements after that string. Use one installed style reference when the selected model accepts references. Changing the palette or edge treatment for one asset requires updating the spec and the related assets.
Keep the player's silhouette readable against the play layer. Background contrast and detail should fall with distance. Foreground decoration must leave hazards and landing surfaces visible. Check the composition at the target screen size, including touch controls and HUD.
Game feel
Measure timings in ticks at the engine's 60 Hz rate. For a side-view prototype,
start with 6–8 coyote ticks and 6–8 buffer ticks, then tune them against the
actual level. Coyote time permits a jump shortly after leaving support. A jump
buffer remembers a press shortly before landing. Implement these in persistent
script state using entity.touching.down and justPressed.
Set jump velocity and gravity from the intended height and airtime. Holding jump may preserve ascent while release cuts it. Make braking fast enough to land on the narrowest required platform. Decide whether air steering and wall jumps are part of the game before laying out challenges that need them.
Give an action a clear response. A jump can use a pose change, a sound cue, and
a brief dust puff. A landing can compress the sprite, then restore it. A hit
needs an immediate flash or recoil and a clear recovery window. Keep squash,
stretch, and screen effects visual so the collider remains predictable. Use
setVisual, animation clips, particles, and event-driven audio through the
contracts in native-game. Avoid repeated camera motion that obscures a jump.

Level pacing
Write the pacing sheet before placing the level. Each row identifies the mechanic, what the player sees before committing, and where a failed attempt returns them. Introduce a mechanic in safety, ask for one clear use, then combine it with an earlier mechanic. Put recovery after a demanding section. Keep checkpoints near the section they protect and make their activation visible and audible.
Place the first required target where normal play teaches movement. Show the next landing or objective before asking for a blind commitment. Optional collectibles can reward risk, but the win route must remain readable without them unless collection is the stated objective. Test the narrowest clearance, longest jump, moving platform timing, and respawn state individually.
Finish and proof
Use autoplay_native_game to obtain an executed input route and its observed
win tick or target contacts. Replay its returned route with
playtest_native_game, using the same seed. Autoplay supports standard
direction actions and a jump action, and uses bounded steering. A stalled or
budget-limited result does not prove a level impossible. For a custom scripted
goal, supply target_prefix and separately assert the game's victory signal.
Capture the start, a representative play section, the busiest frame, and the finish using the proof route. Inspect the images against the locked layer plan, silhouette contrast, terrain joins, foot alignment, HUD, lighting, and grade. Schema validation proves structure. An executed route proves that route can reach its observed target. Visual quality requires inspecting the rendered frames. Report which of these checks passed and what remains unverified.
