Game Studio Agent Architecture — complete setup (Phases 1-7)

48 coordinated Claude Code subagents for indie game development:
- 3 leadership agents (creative-director, technical-director, producer)
- 10 department leads (game-designer, lead-programmer, art-director, etc.)
- 23 specialist agents (gameplay, engine, AI, networking, UI, tools, etc.)
- 12 engine-specific agents (Godot, Unity, Unreal with sub-specialists)

Infrastructure:
- 34 skills (slash commands) for workflows, reviews, and team orchestration
- 8 hooks for commit validation, asset checks, session management
- 11 path-scoped rules enforcing domain-specific standards
- 28 templates for design docs, reports, and collaborative protocols

Key features:
- User-driven collaboration protocol (Question → Options → Decision → Draft → Approval)
- Engine version awareness with knowledge-gap detection (Godot 4.6 pinned)
- Phase gate system for development milestone validation
- CLAUDE.md kept under 80 lines with extracted doc imports

+description: "Analyzes game balance data files, formulas, and configuration to identify outliers, broken progressions, degenerate strategies, and economy imbalances. Use after modifying any balance-related data or design."
+argument-hint: "[system-name|path-to-data-file]"
+user-invocable: true
+allowed-tools: Read, Glob, Grep
+---
+
+When this skill is invoked:
+
+1. **Identify the balance domain** from the argument.
+
+2. **Read relevant data files** from `assets/data/` and `design/balance/`.
+
+3. **Read the design document** for the system being checked from `design/gdd/`.
+
+4. **Perform analysis**:
+
+   For **combat balance**:
+   - Calculate DPS for all weapons/abilities at each power tier
+   - Check time-to-kill at each tier
+   - Identify any options that dominate all others (strictly better)
+   - Check if defensive options can create unkillable states
+   - Verify damage type/resistance interactions are balanced
+
+   For **economy balance**:
+   - Map all resource faucets and sinks with flow rates
+   - Project resource accumulation over time
+   - Check for infinite resource loops
+   - Verify gold sinks scale with gold generation
+   - Check if any items are never worth purchasing
+
+   For **progression balance**:
+   - Plot the XP curve and power curve
+   - Check for dead zones (no meaningful progression for too long)
+   - Check for power spikes (sudden jumps in capability)
+   - Verify content gates align with expected player power
+   - Check if skip/grind strategies break intended pacing
+
+   For **loot balance**:
+   - Calculate expected time to acquire each rarity tier
+   - Check pity timer math
+   - Verify no loot is strictly useless at any stage
+   - Check inventory pressure vs acquisition rate
+
+5. **Output the analysis**:
