level-design SKILL.md skillA

level-design from ukanwat/overtime is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add ukanwat/overtime/level-design@git:20260812.5b73825

Pins git:20260812.5b73825 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Design and build playable levels — the blockout/whitebox-to-playable workflow, player metrics and grid layout, pacing and flow (tension/rest curve), gating and the critical path, and encounter design. Engine-neutral practice. Use when the user mentions level design, blockout/whitebox/greybox, level layout, level pacing, encounter design, or the critical path through a level.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Level design

A level is a **sequence of intentional experiences** delivered through space.
Good level design is a *process*: define the metrics movement is built on, block
out geometry with primitives, play it, then dress it — never the reverse. This
skill is the engine-neutral practice; use `godot-tilemap`/`unity-tilemap-2d` to
lay out 2D grids and gridmaps for 3D.

## When to use

- Use to plan a level's structure: critical path, pacing, gating, encounters,
  and where the player learns vs is tested.
- Use the **blockout → test → iterate → dress** workflow to build a level that
  plays well before any art exists.
- Use to derive level **metrics** from the character's movement so geometry is
  reachable and fair.

**When *not* to use:** to *generate* levels algorithmically, use `procedural-gen`
(authored and procedural design are complementary). For the engine's tile/grid
painting tools, use `godot-tilemap` / `unity-tilemap-2d`. For the movement
abilities the metrics come from, that's the engine movement skill + `input-systems`.

## Core workflow

1. **Derive metrics first.** Measure the character: max jump height and distance,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add ukanwat/overtime/level-design@sha256:aba0bca1ebc84656

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.5b73825, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
