At a glance

Test at extremes (1000x bigger/smaller, instant/year-long) to expose fundamental truths hidden at normal scales.

  • Works in 5 steps: Pick dimension - What could vary… → Test minimum - What if this was 1000x… → Test maximum - What if this was 1000x… → …
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Quick Reference, Process and Examples, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Scale Game is an agent skill from sandgardenhq/sgai. Test at extremes (1000x bigger/smaller, instant/year-long) to expose fundamental truths hidden at normal scales. Unsure if approach will scale. Edge cases unclear. Want to validate architecture. "Will this work at production scale?" Need to find fundamental limits.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 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: Sandgarden AI Software Factory.

Example prompts

  • “Will this work at production scale?”
  • “/scale-game”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pick dimension - What could vary extremely?
  2. Test minimum - What if this was 1000x smaller/faster/fewer?
  3. Test maximum - What if this was 1000x bigger/slower/more?
  4. Note what breaks - Where do limits appear?
  5. Note what survives - What's fundamentally sound?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9efbb7b. 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

Scale Game loads about 582 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 265 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~582

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 265 words (~582 tokens).

“Test your approach at extreme scales to find what breaks and what surprisingly survives.”
