What it does

This skill gives an AI coding agent a playbook for building the brain of video game enemies. Once installed, the agent structures enemy behavior as named states (such as idle, pursue, windup, attack, retreat), sets rules for when and how each state can change, and makes attacks telegraphed so players can see them coming. It also guides the agent to write deterministic tests that check enemy decisions and transitions, and to run a real browser encounter to verify the result.

Great for

  • Indie or hobby game developers building combat enemies or bosses in an action game
  • Game programmers who want a consistent structure for enemy state machines and balancing
  • Teams adding automated regression tests to existing enemy AI

Skip it if

  • Non-game software, since the guidance is specific to real-time combat enemies (not a general AI skill)
  • Projects needing a finished, ready-made enemy; the skill guides design and testing but does not supply game assets or an engine integration

Try asking

  • “Build a state machine for a melee grunt enemy with idle, pursue, windup, attack, and recover states”
  • “Debug why my boss keeps chasing the player forever and never attacks”
  • “Add deterministic tests for target loss, path failure, and stagger in my enemy AI”
  • “Make the enemy telegraph its attacks so the player has time to dodge”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Name your game engine and language in the request so the agent can adapt the guidance to your codebase.
  • Ask for the decision logic and tests separately from rendering or animation code to keep the design clean.
  • After the agent writes tests, ask it to run a real browser or game encounter as the skill recommends, since automated tests alone may miss feel problems.
