game-arch

game-arch is a command for Claude Code from HermeticOrmus/claude-code-game-development. It costs 13 tokens per session (673 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for designing, restructuring, testing, or measuring the performance of a game's code structure. It covers how game systems, data, events, and scenes are organised.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design systems such as health, inventory, or quests; refactor oversized scripts and tangled dependencies; plan testable structures; or investigate performance.
Why use it?
It helps when a game's code has become difficult to change, test, or understand. It can turn a broad system idea into a clearer design or break a tangled implementation into smaller parts.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

game-arch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 15d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

/game-arch

Game architecture design, refactoring, testing, and profiling. Covers ECS, game loops, event systems, ScriptableObject/Resource patterns, and scene management.

Trigger

/game-arch [action] [target]

Actions

design

Design a game system architecture from requirements.

/game-arch design "health system for RPG with status effects, shields, and damage types"
/game-arch design "inventory system supporting items, stacking, equipment slots"
/game-arch design "quest system with objectives, rewards, and branching"

Output: Component breakdown, data flow diagram, signal/event schema, GDScript skeleton.

refactor

Analyze existing code and propose structural improvements.

/game-arch refactor "300-line Player.gd handles movement, combat, and inventory"
/game-arch refactor "12 Autoloads causing circular dependencies"
/game-arch refactor "everything communicates via get_node() path strings"

Output: Decomposition plan, component extraction steps, dependency graph before/after.

test

Design a testable architecture and write unit tests with GUT.

/game-arch test "HealthComponent with damage, healing, and death signal"
/game-arch test "StateMachine with transition table"
/game-arch test "WeaponData Resource with fire rate and damage calculations"

Output: GUT test class with test_ methods, mock/stub patterns for Node dependencies.

profile

Identify architecture patterns causing performance problems.

/game-arch profile "_process() with 500 iterations per frame"
/game-arch profile "signals connected to 1000 receivers"
/game-arch profile "PackedScene.instantiate() called every frame for projectiles"

Output: Root cause analysis, refactored pattern (object pool, batch processing, deferred signals).

Examples

Decomposing a God script:

/game-arch refactor "player script handles input, movement, combat, health, animation, and UI"

Produces: Component decomposition into InputComponent, MovementComponent, CombatComponent, HealthComponent; signal wiring between components; scene structure diagram.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
