What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps game teams design onboarding and tutorials that teach mechanics clearly without flooding players with text, confusion, or early frustration.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Progressive Disclosure: Introduce mechanics one at a time so players can learn, practice, and then combine them naturally.
• Contextual Hinting: Trigger help at the moment of need using in-world prompts, stuck detection, and optional hints.
• Level-Based Teaching: Use encounter layout, safe first encounters, and environmental gating to teach through play instead of explanation.
• Flow and Difficulty Pacing: Adapt challenge to keep players engaged, reduce churn, and maintain a steady learning curve.
• FTUE Optimization: Improve first-time player experience with fast interactivity, minimal text, skip options, and saved tutorial progress.
• Use Case: A designer can use this Skill to build a movement-and-jump tutorial that teaches one mechanic at a time, fades prompts as players succeed, and resumes correctly if they quit mid-run.

Quick Start

Ask for a tutorial design plan for your game that introduces one mechanic at a time, uses contextual prompts, and includes skip, hint, and save-progress behavior.
