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.
2 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by zenstory-ai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Game Art Direction 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/zenstory-ai/novel-to-game/tree/main/skills/game-art-direction
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

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/zenstory-ai/novel-to-game.git /tmp/novel-to-game
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/novel-to-game/skills/game-art-direction .claude/skills/game-art-direction

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Game Art Direction 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 Game Art Direction 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 Game Art Direction 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.

游戏美术与创意方向

定义玩家最终看见、听见和读懂的体验；资产怎样生产、使用什么渲染库、模型或供应商由构建阶段决定。

读取 art-direction-method.md。必须已有 GAME_DESIGN.md 与 PRODUCT_BRIEF.md；视觉服务玩法，不能用漂亮参考图重写游戏。

产物语言由 PRODUCT_BRIEF.md 锁定；未锁定时跟随对话语言，不默认产出中文。

继承目标平台、视口/朝向、画风、内容尺度、targetFinish 与 experienceProfile。视觉参考只借声明的构图、材质、色光或信息原则，不复制他作角色、地图、界面和资产。原作文化与目标市场分别研究，不用流行刻板符号替代原作身份。

设计

定义能区分正确与错误方案的视觉原则；身份与审美校准按方法同名一节；
为玩家、目标、威胁、奖励和地标建立镜头、焦点、轮廓、尺度与密度语法；
让颜色、光、材质和运动编码真实状态，并提供非颜色冗余、低动效表达与明度可读边界；
定义首屏焦点、HUD 信息层级、输入反馈、结果分级、失败与结果状态；
为环境、角色、交互物和关键道具定义共享世界语法与各自识别锚点；
定义目标语言的字体覆盖、阅读顺序、文本密度与文化符号边界；
为核心循环或最高视觉风险定义关键游戏时刻，说明玩家动作、压力、焦点和前后状态，不为每个界面凑数；
定义声音世界、功能反馈层级和音乐边界；语音只在确有独特价值时选择，并始终保留字幕/静音路径。

narrative-led 或 hybrid 的叙事层还要说明人物距离、朝向、遮挡和姿态如何表现关系变化，以及对白区怎样保证阅读、历史回看、跳过与加速。

不要写着色器、拓扑、贴图规格、接口、文件格式教程或供应商参数。

输出

生成 design/ART_DIRECTION.md，包含：

targetFinish 与视觉原则；
镜头/构图、世界/角色/道具语法、功能性色光材质；
HUD、反馈、运动/转场、语言/文化与声音方向；
关键游戏时刻；
必需与可降级资产，以及原创/授权边界和仍未确定的视觉风险。

是否追加 design/VISUAL_TARGETS.md 与少量持久目标图，条件见方法「关键游戏时刻与目标图」。

交付前在目标视口检查动作、压力与反馈可辨；关键时刻在实际界面而非概念海报中成立；方向覆盖核心循环、失败和结果，构建无需重新发明风格或反馈，但仍保有实现自由。

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Game Art Direction AI skill do?

Why use Game Art Direction on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Game Art Direction 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 Game Art Direction in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/zenstory-ai/novel-to-game/tree/main/skills/game-art-direction. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Game Art Direction?

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 Game Art Direction?

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

Is the Game Art Direction AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by zenstory-ai under the MIT license. 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.
