gamification SKILL.md skillA
gamification from firzus/agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add firzus/agent-skills/gamification@git:20260724.af38294Pins git:20260724.af38294 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Gamification design for products, apps, and game meta-layers: design an engagement, habit, or retention system; choose or audit mechanics (points, badges, leaderboards, streaks, progress bars, variable rewards); diagnose mechanics that backfire (novelty decay, demotivated users, streak churn); or run an ethics / dark-pattern check.
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
# Gamification Design game elements into a non-game context so they serve a real behavioral objective — not "add points and badges". The evidence says gamification works **modestly and contextually**: small effect sizes that shrink further under methodological rigor, and benefits that decay with novelty. So every mechanic must earn its place by mapping to a motivational need. Two reference files, loaded on demand: - [mechanics.md](./mechanics.md) — per-mechanic catalog: evidence, when to use, when it backfires. - [frameworks.md](./frameworks.md) — the named frameworks (Octalysis, 6D, HEXAD, Hooked, RECIPE) and how they fit together. ## Motivation core Four load-bearing facts. Every design decision below leans on at least one. 1. **SDT — three needs drive intrinsic motivation** (Deci & Ryan; PENS): **competence** (mastery, granular feedback, tuned difficulty), **autonomy** (meaningful choice, no coercion), **relatedness** (teams, community). Mechanics are only delivery vehicles for these needs. 2. **Overjustification** (Deci, Koestner & Ryan meta-analysis): expected tangible rewards for an already-interesting activity *reduce* intrinsic …

How to install
mdr add firzus/agent-skills/gamification@sha256:f6f573ea6d95d01bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260724.af38294, 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.
