Plan and ship a game under a jam deadline: lock scope to the clock, schedule the hours, cut features, and submit on time. Use for a game jam (Ludum Dare, GMTK Jam, Global Game Jam), a 48-hour or weekend build, or scoping and submitting a jam entry.
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
# Game Jam Turn a theme and a fixed deadline into a finished, submitted game. This is a planning and scope-control playbook, not engine code: the win condition is *something submitted and playable*, not *the game you imagined*. ## When to use - Use when entering a timed jam (Ludum Dare, GMTK Jam, Global Game Jam, a weekend jam), scoping a 48-hour build, or deciding what to cut to hit a deadline. - Use when the user asks "what can I actually build in a weekend" or "how do I submit to this jam". **When *not* to use:** building the *core loop* in engine code (use the engine skill — `godot-2d-movement`, `phaser-core`, etc. — or a genre skill like `platformer`); throwaway experiments with no deadline (use `prototype-fast`); shipping a commercial release (use `steam-publish` / `itch-publish`). ## Core workflow 1. **Read the rules before the theme drops.** Confirm the jam's *length*, *theme reveal time*, *submission deadline (with timezone)*, whether teams/pre-made assets/engines are allowed, and whether ratings require you to rate other entries. Missing one of these disqualifies an otherwise-finished game. …

How to install
mdr add gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills/game-jam@sha256:5d47346146fb777aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260808.3727d02, 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.
