The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈5

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Create an economy that rewards play, supports monetization, and lasts long enough for retention.

  2. Distinctive:

    Avoid runaway compounding that destroys long-term goals.

    line 25
  3. Distinctive:

    Add enough sinks before adding large sources.

    line 26
  4. Distinctive:

    Keep premium boosts convenient, not mandatory.

  5. Distinctive:

    Use simple tables first:

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Roblox Economy Balancing

Goal

Create an economy that rewards play, supports monetization, and lasts long enough for retention.

Economy Map

Define:

  • Sources: core loop rewards, quests, streaks, events, social rewards, purchases.
  • Sinks: upgrades, crafting, cosmetics, rerolls, prestige, entry fees, repairs.
  • Multipliers: boosts, VIP, game passes, events, group/friend bonuses.
  • Gates: zones, levels, equipment, quests, timers.

Balance Rules

  • Reward every loop, but keep meaningful upgrades paced.
  • Make early upgrades fast and satisfying.
  • Avoid runaway compounding that destroys long-term goals.
  • Add enough sinks before adding large sources.
  • Keep premium boosts convenient, not mandatory.
  • Preserve social fairness and competitive integrity.

Curves

Use simple tables first:

  • Early: quick wins and teaching.
  • Mid: visible planning and choice.
  • Late: prestige, collections, rarity, social flex.

Watch for the 2-3 hour content wall and add meaningful unlocks before it.

Output

Return:

  • Source/sink table.
  • Upgrade or reward curve.
  • Inflation risks.
  • Monetization fairness notes.
  • Playtest metrics to collect.

Next

Protect the tuned economy from exploits with roblox-security-economy, and instrument sources and sinks with roblox-analytics-instrumentation to watch for inflation live.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
