Direct game art and creative vision. Turn GAMEDESIGN into a production-level ARTDIRECTION defining a recognizable visual style, camera and composition, world and character grammar, functional colour/light/material, HUD feedback, motion and transition specs, audio direction, and a signature moment for every screen and…
Build a risk-matched whitebox or the approved production game for its target runtime. Turn GAMEDESIGN, and ARTDIRECTION when production begins, into a minimal BUILDBRIEF and a runnable candidate that can be iterated with replayable evidence. Use for prototype the riskiest design question, implement the approved game…
Deconstruct a novel for game adaptation. Compress a raw novel, deconstruction library, or writing project into a SOURCEBIBLE with cited textual evidence, extracting world rules, player verbs, spaces, character will, systems, and visual anchors — without inventing a genre yet. Use for gameable book analysis, analyze a…
Use when the user wants to design an enemy, NPC, boss, companion, civilian, or wave-spawned mob's behavior. Walks perception, personality knobs, intent layer, action state machine, telegraphs, defeat handling, and group emergence — outputs a state-machine GDScript stub plus the recommended node tree. Trigger on…
Use when the user has a voice-over (or wants one) and needs the character's mouth to actually move with the words — phoneme extraction from audio, mapping to viseme blendshapes, plus emotional facial expressions (smile, frown, surprise). Trigger on "lipsync", "lip sync", "talking head", "phonemes", "viseme", "facial…
Use when building an FPS, first-person movement, or a 3D character that walks, jumps, and reacts to external forces — production-quality first-person controller with WASD, mouse look, jump, coyote time, jump buffering, air control, and external-velocity handling. Trigger on "FPS", "first-person", "WASD", "character…
Analyze project and generate or enhance build automation file (Makefile, Taskfile.yml, Justfile, Magefile.go). If a build file already exists, improves it by adding missing targets and best practices. Use when user says "generate makefile", "create taskfile", "add justfile", "setup mage", or "build automation".
Execute implementation tasks from the current plan. Works through tasks sequentially, marks completion, and preserves progress for continuation across sessions. Use when user says "implement", "start coding", "execute plan", or "continue implementation".
Plan implementation for a feature or task. Two modes — fast (single quick plan) or full (richer plan with optional git branch/worktree flow). Use when user says "plan", "new feature", "start feature", "create tasks".
Brownfield onboarding — audits existing project artifacts for template format compliance (not just existence), classifies gaps by impact, and produces a numbered migration plan. Run this when joining an in-progress project or upgrading from an older template version. Distinct from $ai-game-studio:project-stage-detect…
Guided game concept ideation — from zero idea to a structured game concept document. Uses professional studio ideation techniques, player psychology frameworks, and structured creative exploration.
Guided, section-by-section authoring of the master architecture document for the game. Reads all GDDs, the systems index, existing ADRs, and the engine reference library to produce a complete architecture blueprint before any code is written. Engine-version-aware: flags knowledge gaps and validates decisions against…
