What it does
Yao Gametheory Skill is an agent skill from yaojingang/yao-open-skills. Route CEO-facing competition, negotiation, channel, pricing, platform, M&A, financing, competitor-response, alliance, and regulator problems through an applied game-theory framework router when decisions depend on opponent reactions, credible commitments, signals, payoff/equilibrium logic, historical behavior, dynamic updates, or Markdown/HTML/Word/PDF report export. Do not use for textbook tutoring, proofs, gambling, generic brainstorming, or final legal/financial/regulatory advice.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 37 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.en.md`, `README.md` and `agents/interface.yaml`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Brainstorming and Tutoring and explanations. The repository describes itself as: OpenYao public skills collection: reusable AI assets for decision-making, business analysis, tutorials, research evidence gathering, and document generation. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Textbook tutoring
- Generic brainstorming
- Final legal/financial/regulatory advice
Example prompts
- “/yao-gametheory-skill”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Convert the request with references/intake-contract.md; use references/dynamic-iteration-loop.md for incomplete input or later player moves.
- Route through references/framework-catalog.md: select one primary framework and 2-4 secondary lenses.
- Instantiate the combination with references/game-model-playbook.md: players, strategies, payoffs, timing, beliefs, and equilibrium logic.
- Calibrate player rationality with real historical behavior and experience references before trusting payoff-matrix inference.
- Test commitments and signals with references/commitment-signal-checklist.md.
- Run references/strategic-hygiene-checklist.md, references/strategy-readiness-loop.md, and references/sensitivity-and-safety.md.
- Build framework selection, opponent reactions, payoff matrix, historical behavior calibration, readiness, sensitivity, next information…
- Run scripts/generate_report_bundle.py; finalize with references/strategic-report-contract.md and references/report-export-pipeline.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 093996e. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
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
Yao Gametheory Skill loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 339 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

- manipulative, deceptive, coercive, or unlawful competitive tactics
Default Workflow
- Convert the request with
references/intake-contract.md; usereferences/dynamic-iteration-loop.mdfor incomplete input or later player moves. - Route through

- Test commitments and signals with
references/commitment-signal-checklist.md. - Run
references/strategic-hygiene-checklist.md,references/strategy-readiness-loop.md, andreferences/sensitivity-and-safety.md. - Build framework selection, opponent reactions, payoff matrix, historical behavior calibration, readiness, sensitivity, next information, and update triggers.
- Run
scripts/generate_report_bundle.py; finalize withreferences/strategic-report-contract.mdandreferences/report-export-pipeline.md.
Output Contract
- Produce an executive strategy report, not a theory lecture.
- Put the recommendation, opponent reaction forecast, and credible-commitment call before technical sections.
- Mark payoffs, probabilities, and assumptions as observed, estimated, or assumed.
- Include frameworks, payoff matrix, reactions, equilibria, historical rationality calibration, commitment/signal checks, readiness, sensitivity, next information, update log, triggers, and caveats.
- Default language is Simplified Chinese; generate PDF automatically when possible, otherwise keep HTML print-ready.

What does Yao Gametheory Skill need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Yao Gametheory Skill is instructions for the agent only.
Does Yao Gametheory Skill access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Yao Gametheory Skill safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Yao Gametheory Skill use?
