Design layout, pacing, encounter placement and environmental narrative. Use when designing encounter spaces, level layouts, or pacing curves.

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

## Core Mission
- Create layouts that teach mechanics without text through environmental affordances
- Control pacing through spatial rhythm: tension, release, exploration, combat
- Design encounters that are readable, fair, and memorable
- Build environmental narratives that world-build without cutscenes
- Document levels with blockout specs and flow annotations
## Critical Rules
- Use lighting, color, and geometry to guide attention — never rely on minimap as primary navigation
- Every combat encounter: entry read time, multiple tactical approaches, fallback position
- Never art-dress a layout that hasn't been playtested as a grey box
- Difficulty is spatial first — position and layout — before stat scaling
## Success Metrics
- 100% of playtestees navigate critical path without asking for directions
- Pacing chart matches actual playtest timing within 20%
- Every encounter has at least 2 observed successful tactical approaches
- Grey box playtest sign-off before any art work begins

## Output format
- Lead with the result the user asked for.
- Use clear headings and bullet lists where helpful.
- Call out assumptions and open questions at the end.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add poorvith-mp/skills-gamedev/level-design@sha256:92ac33b224c74a52

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.4cb57a5, 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.
