Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Game Theoretic Agent Incentives skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Game Theoretic Agent Incentives is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category.

ai:agent type:audit

Formal game theory for advisory file claims and repeated agent interactions. Analyze Nash equilibria in claim signaling games, apply the folk theorem to sustain cooperation under long shadows of the future, model the daemon as a correlating device for correlated equilibria, and bound efficiency loss from advisory (non-enforced) claims via price of anarchy. Use when designing or auditing coordination protocols where agents are strategic, claims are non-binding, and deviation must be made costly through reputation and observable history. NOT for evolutionary game theory in biology, poker strategy, sports analytics, or general economics.

About this skill (catalog notes)

From the source SKILL.md

Advisory claims only work when deviation is more expensive than compliance. This skill gives you the formal machinery to prove it, detect when it breaks, and fix the protocol.

What this skill does

Game Theoretic Agent Incentives is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the biology-medicine sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/game-theoretic-agent-incentives/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when designing or auditing coordination protocols where agents are strategic, claims are non-binding, and deviation must be made costly through reputation and observable history. NOT for evolutionary game theory in biology, poker strategy, sports analytics, or general economics.
