    game design leaderboard builder

    Example session with this skill installed

    I need a leaderboard for a mid-core mobile RPG. 50k active players, weekly rounds. Score is 'Trophy Count' earned in PvP. Rewards are gems and shards. I want moderate dev complexity.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the game design leaderboard
    • Generated the UI component

    I have processed your requirements for the RPG PvP leaderboard.

    Confirmed inputs:

    • Score: Trophy Count (PvP)
    • Player pool: 50,000
    • Round length: 7 days
    • Context: Mid-core mobile
    • Rewards: Gems and Shards
    • Complexity: Standard (League Ladder)
    • Assumptions: Matched grouping based on progress; standard 10% promotion rate.

    Leaderboard System Specification

    Group Structure

    Recommended Group Size: 50 players. This creates an intimate competitive environment where every win noticeably shifts rank.

    • Total Groups: 1,000 groups across all leagues.

    League Ladder

    LeagueNameGroupsPlayersNotes
    5 (Top)Grandmaster150Single group elite tier
    4Master10500High-tier competitive
    3Diamond703,500Mid-high tier
    2Gold25012,500Core active population
    1 (Entry)Silver66933,450Entry point for all new players

    Promotion & Demotion

    • Promote: Top 5 players (10%) move up one league.
    • Safe Zone: Ranks 6–40 (70%) remain in current league.
    • Demote: Ranks 41–50 (20%) drop one league.

    Sandbagging Mitigation: Late-round score freeze. Standings are locked 4 hours before round end to prevent sniping.

    Next steps

    1. Define the specific "Gem" values for each League tier to ensure Grandmaster rewards feel significantly better than Silver.
    2. Implement telemetry to track how many players in the "Safe Zone" stop playing mid-week.
    3. Finalize the "Grandmaster" reset policy (Option B: Seasonal soft reset recommended).

    About this skill

    The problem

    Basic leaderboards often feel stagnant or unfair, leading to player churn. Developers frequently struggle to balance group sizes, reward inflation, and competitive integrity across different player tiers.

    What it does

    • Generates a full league ladder hierarchy with calculated group sizes and player distributions.
    • Designs promotion and demotion thresholds to maintain long-term goal density and player engagement.
    • Constructs reward bracket tables balanced against game economy and player pool size.
    • Defines technical rules for round resets, score velocity, and anti-sandbagging mitigations.
    • Provides a top-of-ladder sustainability strategy to prevent veteran stagnation.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    General LLMs often suggest generic ranking lists that don't account for the mathematical reality of group scaling or reward inflation. This skill uses a structured framework to ensure every design choice—from group matching to league pyramids—is mathematically consistent and ready for a technical spec.

    Use cases

    • Designing a new competitive "Season" system for a mobile F2P title.
    • Redesigning a flat leaderboard into a multi-tier league system for better retention.
    • Drafting a technical specification for engineers to build a matched-group ranking service.
    • Auditing an existing leaderboard to identify why players have stopped competing.

    Known limitations

    Requires an initial intake phase to establish player pool size and score velocity before generating the design.
