Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by kursku on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the 2d Games AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/kursku/skills/tree/master/packs/global-skillshare-import/wave-001/2d-games
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kursku/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/packs/global-skillshare-import/wave-001/2d-games .claude/skills/2d-games

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable 2d Games in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads 2d Games on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so 2d Games is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

2D Game Development

Principles for 2D game systems.

1. Sprite Systems

Sprite Organization

Component	Purpose
Atlas	Combine textures, reduce draw calls
Animation	Frame sequences
Pivot	Rotation/scale origin
Layering	Z-order control

Animation Principles

Frame rate: 8-24 FPS typical
Squash and stretch for impact
Anticipation before action
Follow-through after action

2. Tilemap Design

Tile Considerations

Factor	Recommendation
Size	16x16, 32x32, 64x64
Auto-tiling	Use for terrain
Collision	Simplified shapes

Layers

Layer	Content
Background	Non-interactive scenery
Terrain	Walkable ground
Props	Interactive objects
Foreground	Parallax overlay

3. 2D Physics

Collision Shapes

Shape	Use Case
Box	Rectangular objects
Circle	Balls, rounded
Capsule	Characters
Polygon	Complex shapes

Physics Considerations

Pixel-perfect vs physics-based
Fixed timestep for consistency
Layers for filtering

4. Camera Systems

Camera Types

Type	Use
Follow	Track player
Look-ahead	Anticipate movement
Multi-target	Two-player
Room-based	Metroidvania

Screen Shake

Short duration (50-200ms)
Diminishing intensity
Use sparingly

5. Genre Patterns

Platformer

Coyote time (leniency after edge)
Jump buffering
Variable jump height

Top-down

8-directional or free movement
Aim-based or auto-aim
Consider rotation or not

6. Anti-Patterns

❌ Don't	✅ Do
Separate textures	Use atlases
Complex collision shapes	Simplified collision
Jittery camera	Smooth following
Pixel-perfect on physics	Choose one approach

Remember: 2D is about clarity. Every pixel should communicate.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 2d Games AI skill do?

2D game development principles. Sprites, tilemaps, physics, camera.

Why use 2d Games on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. 2d Games is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install 2d Games in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/kursku/skills/tree/master/packs/global-skillshare-import/wave-001/2d-games. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use 2d Games?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with 2d Games?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use 2d Games with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the 2d Games AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by kursku. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
