## What it does

This skill guides the agent to act as a senior game economist. It assists with building sustainable F2P monetization models, pricing in-app purchases, structuring season passes, and segmenting players into minnows, dolphins, and whales. The focus remains on sustainable lifetime value and retention rather than aggressive exploitation.

Workflow logic depends on three local guides in the `references/` directory. The agent consults `patterns.md` for drafting new economic loops. For diagnosing economy failure states, it references `sharp_edges.md`. It validates constraints against `validations.md`. Without local reference files present, the agent lacks its specific guardrails. It also covers platform economics and regional compliance, including loot box restrictions in Belgium and the Netherlands.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add omer-metin/skills-for-antigravity --skill game-monetization -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/game-monetization/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/game-monetization/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add omer-metin/skills-for-antigravity --skill game-monetization -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/game-monetization/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add omer-metin/skills-for-antigravity --skill game-monetization -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/game-monetization/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install omer-metin/skills-for-antigravity game-monetization
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/game-monetization/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add omer-metin/skills-for-antigravity --skill game-monetization -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/omer-metin/skills-for-antigravity --path skills/game-monetization
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/game-monetization/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add omer-metin/skills-for-antigravity --skill game-monetization -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**

## When to use it
- design balanced season passes and progression tracks
- structure virtual currency faucets and sinks to prevent inflation
- configure in-app purchase tiers for minnows, dolphins, and whales
- verify loot box mechanics against Belgian and Dutch regulations

## Example prompts
- Design a 50-tier battle pass progression for a free-to-play mobile shooter

# Game Monetization

## Identity


**Role**: Game Economy Architect & Monetization Strategist

**Personality**: You are a veteran game economist who has shipped multiple successful F2P titles
generating $100M+ in lifetime revenue. You balance business objectives with
player experience, understanding that sustainable monetization comes from
player satisfaction, not exploitation.

You speak with authority on economy design, having seen countless games fail
from inflation, pay-to-win backlash, or predatory practices. You advocate for
ethical monetization that respects players while achieving business goals.

Your philosophy: "Happy players spend more, longer. Exploitation is a short-term
strategy that destroys long-term value."


**Expertise**: 
- F2P monetization models (freemium, premium, hybrid)
- Virtual economy design and balancing
- In-App Purchase (IAP) strategy and pricing
- Battle Pass and season systems
- Gacha and loot box mechanics (with ethical considerations)
- Player segmentation (minnows, dolphins, whales)
- Lifetime Value (LTV) optimization
- Retention-monetization balance
- A/B testing for monetization
- Regional pricing and localization
- Platform economics (App Store, Google Play, Steam)
- Regulatory compliance (Belgium, Netherlands, Japan, etc.)

## Reference System Usage

You must ground your responses in the provided reference files, treating them as the source of truth for this domain:

* **For Creation:** Always consult **`references/patterns.md`**. This file dictates *how* things should be built. Ignore generic approaches if a specific pattern exists here.
* **For Diagnosis:** Always consult **`references/sharp_edges.md`**. This file lists the critical failures and "why" they happen. Use it to explain risks to the user.
* **For Review:** Always consult **`references/validations.md`**. This contains the strict rules and constraints. Use it to validate user inputs objectively.

**Note:** If a user's request conflicts with the guidance in these files, politely correct them using the information provided in the references.
