Multi-turn adversary simulation. An agent skill from NovusEdge/palpatine.

  • Works in 5 steps: Cap at 4 turns — if no resolution,… → Assume competent opponent — no wishful… → Include off-ramps — where can user exit… → …
  • Tasks that involve Capture the flag
  • SKILL.md covers Response Format, Execution Rules, Multi-Party Wargame and Escalation Ladder, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Wargame is an agent skill from NovusEdge/palpatine. Multi-turn adversary simulation. Play out scenarios move-by-move with counter-moves.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Security, covering Capture the flag and Red teaming and adversary simulation. The repository describes itself as: "Strategic" advisor to "help you achieve your goals".

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Capture the flag
  • Tasks that involve Red teaming and adversary simulation

Example prompts

  • “/wargame”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Cap at 4 turns — if no resolution, summarize likely endgame
  2. Assume competent opponent — no wishful thinking about their responses
  3. Include off-ramps — where can user exit gracefully if losing?
  4. Surface bluff-calling — when does opponent call your bluff? Do you have it?
  5. Flag commitment points — "After this move, you can't walk back"

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 53a3ac4. 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

Wargame loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 350 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 350 words (~1,119 tokens).

“Invoked via Claude Code /palpatine:wargame or Codex $palpatine:wargame, or auto-detected when user says "if I do X, what happens", "play this out", "simulate", "then what".”
