How to use the Build Game Audio Feedback agent skill

What the skill makes the agent do

Agent skills are instruction packages that an AI agent loads when a task matches them. This one covers audio for web games. Its core idea is to use sound to confirm player intent and combat state, not to add constant noise.

The skill tells the agent to assign distinct cues to events such as input accepted, windup, contact, block, miss, damage, interrupt, pickup, warning, death, and objective completion. It also tells the agent to define priorities so critical feedback stays audible in crowded moments.

• Map game events to distinct sound cues
• Set priorities so important cues are not drowned out
• Unlock audio from a user gesture and respect mute and volume settings
• Release completed audio nodes and cap simultaneous voices
• Provide subtitles or visual equivalents for meaningful cues
• Change music by game state using controlled transitions instead of restarts
• Test first interaction, rapid actions, pause, tab return, mobile, muted state, and reduced motion

Install the skill from the ZIP download

Download the ZIP for this skill from this page and unzip it. The skill folder contains two files: agents/openai.yaml and SKILL.md.

For a personal install, unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/. To limit it to one project, unzip it into that project's .claude/skills/ folder instead.

If you use the Claude apps, you can instead upload the skill under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.

Trigger the skill with natural requests

You do not need a special command. Describe the audio task in plain language and mention a web or Three.js game. The skill's description covers action sounds, combat layers, music states, spatial audio, mix priorities, mute controls, accessibility, mobile audio unlock, and audio performance, so requests that touch these topics are the ones it fits best.

Good requests name the game context and the problem. Be specific about what the player is doing and what sounds feel wrong.

• Design sound cues for attack, block, and damage in my Three.js action game
• Audio stops working on mobile until the player taps. Help me fix the unlock flow
• Add a music transition from exploration to combat without restarting the track
• Review my game's audio for voice limits and mix priority during crowded fights
• Make my game's audio accessible with subtitles and a mute control

Examples of what the agent produces

When the skill is active, expect the agent to work through the design and the browser rules together. For a combat prototype, it will typically propose a distinct cue for each event, rank them so a damage or warning sound is never lost under routine hits, and add a subtitle or visual flash for important cues.

For implementation, the agent will look at when audio is unlocked, whether volume and mute settings are respected, whether finished audio nodes are released, and whether simultaneous sounds are capped. For a final pass, it can give you a checklist covering first interaction, pause, tab return, mobile, and muted play.

What you need before you start

The skill's listed requirements are nothing beyond the skill itself. It is written for web game audio, so you need a browser-based game to apply it to. It is most directly useful for Three.js projects; other web game stacks may need the agent to adapt the ideas.

The skill does not compose or produce music or sound files. Bring your own audio assets or create them with other tools.

Safety notes: scripts and network access

This skill does not run scripts and does not use the network, according to its listing. Its files are a YAML agent configuration and a SKILL.md instruction file. Review the files before installing anything, as you would with any instructions an agent will follow, and check the changes the agent makes to your project.

Tips for better results

Give the agent your game's real event list and your current audio code. The skill works from events and rules, so concrete names for attacks, hits, and pickups produce more useful cue maps than vague descriptions.

Ask for the verification pass explicitly. The skill's test list is one of its most practical parts, especially for mobile unlock and muted play, which are easy to miss during development.
