Russian requires multiple plural forms (1 item, 2-4 items, 5+ items use different forms)." **Expected behavior**: -- Identifies this as a locale-specific plural form gap: Russian has 3 plural categories (one, few, many) per CLDR/Unicode plural rules — a single string is insufficient +- Identifies this as a locale-specific plural form gap: CLDR/Unicode plural rules give Russian four categories — one, few, many and other (`other` covers fractional quantities, and ICU MessageFormat requires it in every plural message) — so a single string is insufficient - Flags it as a localization quality bug, not a minor style issue — incorrect plural forms are grammatically wrong and visible to players -- Recommends the fix: update the string extraction format to support CLDR plural categories (one/few/many/other), and flag to the translation vendor that Russian strings need all plural forms -- Notes which other languages in the pipeline also require plural form support (e.g., Polish, Czech, Arabic) -- Does NOT suggest using a numeric threshold workaround as a substitute for proper CLDR plural support +- Recommends the fix its Pluralization standard names: plural rules through ICU MessageFormat (or equivalent) with the language's plural categories, and flags to the translators that Russian strings need every plural form +- Treats it as a pipeline-wide fix — quantity strings in every supported locale move to ICU plural rules — not a Russian-only patch (Polish, Czech, and Arabic have the same problem) +- Does NOT suggest using a numeric threshold workaround as a substitute for proper plural rules ### Case 4: String key naming conflict between two systems **Input**: "Our UI system uses keys like 'button_confirm' and 'button_cancel'. Our dialogue system uses 'confirm' and 'cancel' for the same concepts.

Architecture is NOT marked as finalized -5. User is asked: revise the flagged sections, or accept the document as a draft +1. Step 3 shows the Technical Director assessment and the Lead Programmer verdict side by side, including the specific concern +2. `AskUserQuestion`: `Accept — proceed to handoff` / `Revise flagged items first` / `Discuss specific concerns` +3.

Both reviews are spawned in parallel at Phase 7b +2. Step 3 shows `TD-ARCHITECTURE: REJECT` and `LP-FEASIBILITY: FEASIBLE` side by side +3. The `AskUserQuestion` offers `Revise flagged items first` and `Discuss specific concerns` — **not** `Accept` +4. On `Revise flagged items first`, the flagged sections are re-drafted and approved as in Phases 1–4, and the revised document is written once, through Phase 7's ask +5.

Skill creates a skeleton file `design/ux/hud.md` with all section headers -2. Skill discusses and drafts each section: User Flows, Interaction States - (normal/hover/focus/disabled), Wireframe Description, Accessibility Notes -3. After each section is drafted and user confirms, skill asks "May I write - section [N] to `design/ux/hud.md`?" -4. Each section is written in sequence after approval -5. After all sections are written, verdict is COMPLETE -6. Skill suggests running `/ux-review` as the next step +1. Mode is HUD design; output file `design/ux/hud.md` +2. UI Requirements are collected with one Grep across `design/gdd/*.md`; the skill counts the three system GDDs — `game-concept.md` sits in `design/gdd/` but is not one — lists `save-system.md` as unmatched, and confirms with the user it is headless before excluding it +3. Input methods are derived from the `platform` block (keyboard/mouse and gamepad) — the user is not asked +4. The context summary is shown, then "Anything else I should read before we start, or shall we proceed?" +5. No existing file, so: "May I create the skeleton file at `design/ux/hud.md`?" — on yes, writes the HUD skeleton and updates `production/session-state/active.md`. The skeleton carries every section `/ux-review`'s HUD checklist requires, so the finished spec can pass that review +6. Phase 4 reads `.claude/skills/ux-design/references/sections-hud.md` and never the other two per-mode files (`sections-ux-spec.md`, `sections-patterns.md`); if a section needs depth, the HUD design guide is read one section at a time, never whole +7. Each section: draft → "Does this capture the [section name] correctly?" → "May I write the [section name] section to `design/ux/hud.md`?" → Edit replacing that section's placeholder +8. Phase 5 presents the Cross-Reference Check results +9. Phase 6 states the spec should be validated with `/ux-review` before implementation, then asks with four options (run `/ux-review` now / design another screen / update the pattern library / stop); verdict `COMPLETE` **Assertions:** -- [ ] Skeleton file is created first (with empty section bodies) -- [ ] "May I write section [N]" is asked per section (not once at the end) -- [ ] All required sections are present: User Flows, Interaction States, - Wireframe Description, Accessibility Notes -- [ ] Handoff to `/ux-review` is at the end -- [ ] Verdict is COMPLETE +- [ ] A GDD without a UI Requirements section is listed and confirmed with the user, not silently excluded +- [ ] `game-concept.md` is not counted as a system GDD, so it is not listed as unmatched +- [ ] Input methods come from the `project.yaml` `platform` block, without asking the user +- [ ] The skeleton is written only after the "May I create the skeleton file at `design/ux/hud.md`?" approval +- [ ] The HUD skeleton includes the sections `/ux-review` Phase 3B checks for: HUD Philosophy, Information Architecture, Layout Zones, HUD element specifications, HUD States by Gameplay Context, Information Hierarchy, Visual Budget, Feedback & Notification Systems, Platform Adaptation, Tuning Knobs, Acceptance Criteria +- [ ] Of the three per-mode guidance files only `sections-hud.md` is loaded, and no guide is read whole +- [ ] Each section is approved and then gets its own "May I write the [section name] section…" ask before it is written +- [ ] The handoff names `/ux-review` as required before implementation, and the verdict is `COMPLETE` --- -### Case 2: Existing UX Spec — Retrofit: user picks section to update +### Case 2: Existing Document — Retrofit of incomplete sections only **Fixture:** -- `design/ux/hud.md` already exists with all sections populated -- User wants to update only the Accessibility Notes section +- Scenario (a): `design/ux/main-menu.md` exists, built from the UX spec skeleton; Purpose & Player Need, Player Context on Arrival, Navigation Position and Entry & Exit Points have real content; every other section is `[To be designed]` +- Scenario (b): `design/accessibility-requirements.md` exists, built from the accessibility skeleton; Accessibility Tier Definition commits the Standard tier; every other section is `[To be designed]` -**Input:** `/ux-design hud` +**Input:** (a) `/ux-design main-menu` (b) `/ux-design accessibility` **Expected behavior:** -1. Skill reads existing `design/ux/hud.md` and detects all sections are populated -2. Skill reports: "UX spec already exists for HUD — offering to retrofit" -3. Skill lists all sections and asks which to update -4. User selects Accessibility Notes -5. Skill drafts updated accessibility content and asks "May I write section - Accessibility Notes to `design/ux/hud.md`?" -6. Only that section is updated; other sections are preserved; verdict is COMPLETE +1. Before any skeleton step, the skill Globs the output path — in (b) `design/accessibility-requirements.md`, not a path under `design/ux/` — and finds the file +2. It reads the file, classifies each section as Complete / Empty / Placeholder, and shows the status table, ending "I'll work on the [N] incomplete sections only — existing content will not be overwritten." +3. Skeleton creation is skipped +4. Phase 4 authors only the Empty/Placeholder sections, filling each placeholder in place with Edit after its "May I write" approval +5.

It checks the story's `Manifest Version` and its dependencies, asks +to mark the story `In Progress`, and routes implementation to a programmer agent +plus the project's engine specialist. It does not write source code itself, and +every file it does write — story fields, `sprint-status.yaml`, a dependency's +`Status`, a Config/Data file, Unity's `ScreenshotOnArg.cs` — follows an ask that +names it; only the session-state checkpoint is written without one. -In `full` review mode, an LP-CODE-REVIEW gate runs before marking the story -Complete. In `lean` or `solo` mode, LP-CODE-REVIEW is skipped and the story is -marked Complete after the user confirms all criteria are met. The skill asks -"May I write" before updating story status and before writing code files. +After the agent returns it verifies the agent finished, runs the engine parse +check, launches the build to observe anything player-visible (`Run result:` +line), prints an "Implementation Complete" summary and overwrites the CHECKPOINT +block in `active.md`, whose **Next step** follows the result: `/story-done` after +Implementation Complete, `/dev-story` to resume after INCOMPLETE, the unblocking +action after BLOCKED.

The checkpoint carries `/dev-story`'s + run result, which `/story-done` checks. +- **The status line counts the right stories.** An explicit `workflow: minimal` + under another rigor showed Concept; "Not Done" counted as done; bold and + bulleted Status lines were skipped; and after a `cd` it looked for + `project.yaml` in the wrong folder.

It is now + gdUnit4's own runner, with the flag that stops a script error from hanging the + run at a `debug>` prompt. A run that finds no tests is NOT ASSESSED, not a + pass. `/dev-story`'s parse check exited 0 on a parse error; it now loads each + changed script with `.claude/scripts/godot-parse-check.gd`, which also accepts + code that uses an autoload. `/smoke-check` imports the project before the + tests: on a fresh clone, with no class cache, gdUnit4's runner did not load + and the run exited 1 without a verdict. +- **Unity tests compile.** They went under `tests/`, which Unity never compiles, + so a run reported "0 tests, Passed". They now go under `Assets/Tests/`. The + build command builds a player, and the smoke command no longer calls a + `SmokeCheck.Run` nothing creates. The commands name the editor by its full + path: bare `Unity` can be Unity's separate CLI, which fails with the exit code + of a failed test. A compile error is a FAIL, and the last run's results file + is no longer read as this run's. The project coherence check finds the editor + from `commands.test` and reads `6000.3` and `6.3` as the same Unity, so a + correctly set up project no longer reports its version as different. +- **Unreal tests compile and are found.** The `qa-tester` template used a flag + that does not exist, and tests went in `Source/Tests/`, which is never built. + CI and `/smoke-check` build the editor target first: a fresh checkout has no + compiled game module, and the editor quit before running a test. The CI + template asks for a Windows self-hosted runner; it asked for any self-hosted + runner, so a repository with a Linux one could send the job there. Its steps + also run when the runner's folder has a space in it, which failed every step + before. The test + command prints its results — run from a shell, the editor printed nothing, so + "no tests matched" could not be told from a failure. Every Unreal command + names the editor by its full path and gives the project as an absolute path: + UE 5.7 does not find a relative `.uproject`, so the test, run and smoke + commands exited 1 before doing anything. A failing test and a run that + matched nothing both exit 255, so `/smoke-check` now reads the output to tell + them apart. +- **`/smoke-check` runs your tests first**, and reports NOT ASSESSED when nothing + ran instead of passing. At `qa.level: minimal`, where tests are waived, a + project with no game tests is checked by its build, launch and critical paths + instead, so the Polish and Release gates can pass at the default rigor. The + build check runs `commands.smoke` (else `commands.build`) when set, and a + build nobody launched this session is NOT ASSESSED — it could pass with + nothing run. +- **Godot commands name the editor.** `/setup-engine` wrote bare `godot` into + `commands.*` even where it says Godot is not on `PATH` (Windows, macOS); it now + writes the editor's full path, quoted, and records it as `engine.path`. + `/smoke-check` and `/dev-story`'s parse check find the editor from + `commands.test`, then `engine.path`, then `PATH`, and say when none is found. + A flag or path `/smoke-check` needs is added for that run and reported, never + written into `commands.test`. The project coherence check finds the Godot + editor the same way — it reported "no Godot binary" on a correct project — + and looks for Unity Hub's editors on macOS and Linux as well as Windows. + [UPGRADING.md](UPGRADING.md#v111--v112) says how to update a 1.1.x project. +- **Engine skills read each engine's own output.** `/test-flakiness` looked for + `Result: Success`, which Unreal never prints, and read Unity results with a + JUnit pattern, so every test read as consistent; it now reads Unreal's + `Result={…}`, Unity's NUnit `` results and gdUnit4's `reports/` + folder. `/test-helpers`' Godot signal asserts could never see a signal; they + now record it in a Dictionary. `/content-audit` scans `Assets/` on Unity, where + it found no content at all. The Godot and Unity references gain sourced + command-line sections (runner flags and exit codes); the Unity reference says + `RecordRenderGraph` is URP's and documents HDRP's `CustomPass`, and + `unity-shader-specialist` no longer applies the URP one to HDRP. + `godot-csharp-specialist` uses `[Export(PropertyHint.Range, …)]` — there is + no `[ExportRange]` — and `ue-gas-specialist` and the GAS reference name the + base-value clamp hooks. Unreal test names follow the root `commands.test` + filters on. +- **Unity and Unreal get the rules and checks Godot gets.** The coding rules for + gameplay, engine, AI, network, UI, shader, data and test code now load in + `Assets/` and `Source/` projects. Broken data JSON in `Assets/**/Data/` and + `Content/**/Data/` is caught, PascalCase assets are no longer flagged, the + data-file rule applies to JSON only (not C# or C++ in a `Data/` folder), the + test rule names tests the way each engine's language does, + `/tech-debt`, `/launch-checklist` and `/release-checklist` stop reporting "no + `src/`", the status line reaches Production, and session start no longer reads + every texture looking for TODOs. The Unity and Unreal code rules load on code + files only, and the shader, gameplay and engine rules give examples for all + three engines. Skill examples, templates and the rules reference name each + engine's code folder instead of only Godot's `src/`, and the guide's + `/localize` and `/reverse-document` examples are ones that run. +- **Test results mean what they say.** Each gdUnit4 exit code maps to a verdict — + 101 (every test passed, a node leaked) is a warning, not a failure. The Godot + CI template runs the gdUnit4 in your repo instead of replacing it with the + latest release, and asks for a full Godot version. The Unity guidance covers + the package references and `Editor/` folders an assembly definition needs, the + `qa-tester` Unity template compiles, and test output is gitignored. The Godot + CI template asks for `checks: write`: without it the job failed on every new + repository, even with every test passing. If you protect `main`, require the + job's check, not `test-results`, which passes even when a test fails. The `qa-tester` Unreal template + compiles as filled in and gives each test its own class — two tests that + shared one failed to link — and the Godot one frees its subject. +- **Engine reference corrections.** Godot's `@abstract` example gave an abstract + method a body, which does not parse; the 4.4 `Texture2D` → `Texture` note now + names the `Shader` default-texture methods it applies to, not the shading + language. Unreal's server RPC sample declares `WithValidation`, which its + `_Validate` function needs. The Unity Addressables migration example keeps its + handle and releases it. `godot-gdextension-specialist` had the compatibility + direction backwards: an extension built for an older Godot loads in a newer + one, not the reverse. +- **Unreal on Linux and macOS.** The Unreal commands named only Windows paths. + `/setup-engine` now writes Linux commands on Linux (`RunUAT.sh`, + `Engine/Binaries/Linux/UnrealEditor`), and `/smoke-check`, `/dev-story` and + `/test-setup` build the editor target there with `Build.sh`; on macOS it writes + the build command and leaves test, run and smoke for you to set, because Epic documents no + command-line editor inside `UnrealEditor.app`. `/smoke-check` picks the + commands for the machine it runs on and reports NOT ASSESSED for Unreal tests + on macOS until `commands.test` is set. The sources are in + `docs/engine-reference/unreal/current-best-practices.md`. + +### Checks and hooks + +- **Warnings you can see.** The commit, push, asset and skill-edit checks printed + their warnings where neither you nor Claude saw them. They now show in your + terminal and reach Claude. They never approve anything on your behalf. +- **The commit check covers chained commands.** `git add -A && git commit`, + `git -C . commit`, `git -C "a path with spaces" commit`, `if git commit`, + `{ git commit; }`, `/usr/bin/git`, `git.exe`, `env X=y git commit`, a commit + on a second line and commits through the PowerShell tool all skipped it, and + on macOS every chained form did. So did `bash -c "git commit"`, `sudo` and + `xargs git commit`, `git --git-dir .git commit`, and git named by a quoted or + Windows path (`& "C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe" commit`), and any + command with an emoji in it when `jq` is not installed. With data files + staged and no Python to check them — + including the Windows Store `python` placeholder, which the check used to + mistake for Python — it now blocks and says why. The asset check no longer + calls valid JSON invalid when that placeholder is first on `PATH`. +- **Here-doc text isn't a command.** A commit message written through a here-doc + that mentions `git push` no longer triggers the push warning, and writing a + document through a here-doc that mentions `git commit` no longer runs the + commit check, which could block it. Other quoted text (`echo "git commit"`) is + still checked. A tab-indented `<<-EOF`, a CRLF here-doc and `/bin/bash <` + takes, whatever the pathspec (`.`, a folder, a glob, `:/`), and no longer + mistakes a `-F` message file for one; checks `.JSON` as well as `.json`; no + longer skips data files with non-ASCII names; and judges a UTF-8 BOM the same + way the asset check does. The push warning also fires on a refspec that + targets a protected branch (`HEAD:main`, `+main`, `refs/heads/main`). On a + command that does not mention git, the commit and push checks now exit at + once (~116 ms instead of ~350). +- **Dangerous commands are denied in PowerShell too.** The deny rules for + force-push, `reset --hard`, `clean -f`, recursive delete and reading `.env` + covered only the Bash tool. They now cover the PowerShell tool, and + `git push origin main --force` as well as `git push --force` — and `rm -fr`, + `git clean -df`, a `+main` refspec, `git -C . push --force` and + `Remove-Item -r`, which were only prompted before. +- **Session start keeps what matters on screen.** A long checkpoint is cut to + 25 lines with a note, and warnings print before it, since hook output over + 10,000 characters reaches Claude only as a 2,000-character preview. At + minimal it no longer tells you to run `/gate-check`, and it reads the stage + from `project.yaml`, which it had never done. It no longer warns of an engine reference mismatch on a + correct project whose `project.name` is one word: it read that line as the + engine. +- **Counts print cleanly on macOS.** BSD `wc` pads its numbers, so session + start showed `Code health: 2 TODOs` and the compaction hook + `( 35 lines)`. +- **A section review never skips an edited section.** The change check behind + `/design-review` and `/architecture-review` hashed with `git` or `sha1sum` + only. It now also uses `shasum`, which every Mac has; and with no hash tool at + all it reports every section as changed and says why on stderr, where it used + to report an edited section as unchanged. +- The compaction hooks no longer claim their output reaches Claude; session + start is what restores your place after a compaction. The agent log no longer + records Claude Code's own internal agents (prompt suggestions, `/btw`) as + unknown agents. +- **Fewer ways of calling git skip the commit check.** Quoted option + values (`git -c user.name="A B" commit`, `--git-dir=".git"`, `-C "$(pwd)"`), + `timeout` and `nice` in front of git, `-a` after the message (`-m "x" -a`, + `--all`) and a relative path after `cd` (`cd assets && git commit -m x + data/item.json`) each let a commit through unchecked. A `-C` directory the hook + cannot resolve (`"$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR"`, `~/x`) is now checked rather than + skipped; only a commit in a different repository is left alone. A commit + limited to named paths (`git commit -m x src/player.gd`) is no longer blocked + by an unrelated broken file staged for later, and a redirection (`2>&1`, + `> out.log`) is not read as a path. `Git` or `GIT` in any case, a quoted + `"git"`, `stdbuf`, `winpty` or `command -p` in front of it, and a commit on a + backslash-continued line are checked now too; a `git -C commit` + earlier in a chain no longer lets a later commit of this repository through; + and text inside a PowerShell `@'…'@` here-string is not read as a command. +- **The push warning names the branches you protect.** It warns on `main`, + `master` and `release/*` — a short-lived release branch is where a release is + stabilised — and no longer on `develop`, which trunk-based development + doesn't have. It checks every push in a chain, not only the first, and reads + a quoted branch name or refspec. +- **Python 2 on `PATH` no longer fails valid data files**, and with no Python 3 + the GDD section check says it did not run instead of passing silently. +- **More spellings of dangerous commands are denied**: `rm` with `--recursive` + and `--force`, and force-push, `clean -f` and `reset --hard` with git options + before the subcommand. The `git` rules match anywhere after `git`, so a git + command whose text fits one is denied even when nothing dangerous runs — a + commit message that mentions one, or prose such as `git commit -m "push + + pull"`; reword the message. `git clean -fn` is denied too; write a dry run + as `git clean -n`. +- **Smaller fixes.** The status line counts a story whose status reads `Done.` + or `Complete, verified` as done, as `/sprint-status` does. The skill-edit + reminder no longer fires for skills outside the project, such as your own + `~/.claude/skills/`. `/help` finds an engine set only in + `technical-preferences.md`. On Windows and macOS a Godot project with `src/` + and `assets/` gets its code root found — Godot's `assets/` was read as Unity's + `Assets/`. Session start shows `solo` as the review mode when there is no + `project.yaml`, which is what the skills use. + +### Skills and docs + +- **Skills read the whole argument.** `/scope-check inventory crafting system` + checked `inventory`, and `/gate-check --review full` took `--review` as the + phase. Seven skills read only the first word; they read all of it now. +- **`/design-review --depth` works again** — it was renamed `--review` in 1.1.0 + and old calls were silently ignored. +- **The brief has a Reference game line** — the shipped game yours is closest + to, and the part of it your MVP keeps. `/brainstorm` asks for it. +- **`/start` spots a clone still wired to this repo** and suggests renaming + `origin`, so your pushes and pull requests go to your game — on every path, + a returning user's included, and not for your own fork. +- **Skills pre-approve only the commands they run.** `/help`, `/scope-check`, + `/asset-audit`, `/project-stage-detect` and `/reverse-document` allowed any + shell command while active; each now names its commands. `/prototype` and + `/vertical-slice` no longer claim a worktree isolation skills cannot have, and + `/design-review` says which flag wins when given both `--depth` and `--review`. + `/help` accepts the quoted form of its one script, which it was denied about + half the time, and that script no longer fails when `MSYS_NO_PATHCONV` is set. +- **Skill model pins are documented as they behave.** A skill you type as + `/skill-name` runs on the model it declares, except that auto mode ignores a + Haiku pin. A skill Claude starts on its own runs on your session's model. So + `/gate-check`, `/architecture-review` and `/review-all-gdds`, which declare + Opus, cost more when typed in a Sonnet session. The docs had said pins were + never applied. +- **Agent models are documented as they run**, with the one-line setting that + fixes a pinned agent overflowing a large-context session + ([#67](https://github.com/Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios/issues/67)). +- **Agent specs can be run, and they match the agents.** `/skill-test spec` and + `/skill-test category` looked only in `.claude/skills/`, so every agent spec + in the testing framework was refused as not found; both now take an agent + name. The specs stated models no agent declares (36 of 49 — the three + directors and `lead-programmer` named the right tier, but as a full model + ID) and checked `allowed-tools:`, a skill field agents don't have. Each now + asserts its agent's own `model:` and `tools:`. + Tiers are written as the aliases `model:` takes — `opus`, `sonnet`, `haiku`, + `inherit` — never as model IDs, so a new model release leaves them correct; + the agent roster and gate index no longer repeat them + ([#131](https://github.com/Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios/issues/131)). +- **`devops-engineer` and `community-manager` run on Sonnet.** They were the + only agents pinned to Haiku, the tier `model-tiers.md` keeps for read-only + lookups and formatting. One builds your CI pipelines and the other writes what + your players read — the judgement `/patch-notes` is on Sonnet for. +- **Every behavioral spec describes the skill or agent as it is.** A full + `/skill-test spec` run failed all 121 specs in the testing framework. Most + had been written against older versions and expected verdict words, paths and + features the skills and agents don't have — `/help`'s spec expected "HELP + COMPLETE", a word the skill has never used. Each spec is rewritten against + its current skill or agent, and each case still tests a specific behavior. + `/skill-test` now judges an agent by what it actually sees: its own file, + `CLAUDE.md` and the files it imports, the gate definition for a gate case, and + any skills it preloads. A rule every agent receives, such as escalating a + conflict to the shared parent, is no longer reported missing from each one. +- **Directors answer each gate in its own words.** The four directors were told + to answer every gate APPROVE / CONCERNS / REJECT (the producer REALISTIC / + CONCERNS / UNREALISTIC), but eight gates define their own — `PR-MILESTONE` is ON + TRACK / AT RISK / OFF TRACK, `TD-FEASIBILITY` VIABLE / CONCERNS / HIGH RISK, + `PR-SCOPE` REALISTIC / OPTIMISTIC / UNREALISTIC, `AD-CONCEPT-VISUAL` CONCEPTS / + STRONG / CONCERNS, + every phase gate READY / CONCERNS / NOT READY — and the skills act on those words, so + `/milestone-review` could never see OFF TRACK and refuse a GO. Each director + now reads the verdict words from the gate's definition file. `/map-systems` + and `/brainstorm` handle PR-SCOPE's OPTIMISTIC, which they had never expected. +- **Agents preload only skills they can run.** `game-designer` and + `creative-director` preloaded `/design-review` and `/brainstorm`, which need + tools those agents don't have, and `producer` preloaded the skills that spawn + it for a gate. Those preloads are gone. +- **Unity and Unreal agents check their engine reference** before suggesting an + API, as the Godot agents already did, and every engine agent asks which + editor is installed when the pin says `NOT DETERMINED`. `godot-specialist` no + longer tells itself to use WebSearch, a tool it doesn't have. +- **Agents that don't write code no longer follow a programmer's workflow.** + `qa-lead`, `sound-designer`, `writer`, `performance-analyst`, + `community-manager`, `release-manager`, `analytics-engineer` and + `localization-lead` asked "static utility class or scene node?" and offered to + write tests; each now drafts, proposes and asks before writing. +- **`security-engineer` rates findings on `/security-audit`'s scale** — CRITICAL + / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW, HIGH counting as CRITICAL in multiplayer — when you ask + it directly, not only inside the audit. +- **Agents name each other where their work meets**: `network-programmer` and + `security-engineer`, `writer` and `world-builder`, `art-director` and + `audio-director`, `ux-designer` and `accessibility-specialist`, and others. + `live-ops-designer` leaves prices to `economy-designer`, as `/team-live-ops` + already did; agents with a built-in budget (latency, bandwidth) use the + project's figure when it gives one. +- **`devops-engineer` follows trunk-based development.** It prescribed GitFlow — + a long-lived `develop` branch with feature branches cut from it — while + CLAUDE.md sets trunk-based. It now describes the trunk flow `/team-release` + and `/hotfix` now use too: short-lived branches off `main`, releases tagged + on `main`, a release branch only to stabilise one. `release-manager` and + `/hotfix` merge fixes back to `main` rather than a "development branch", and + two hook samples in `hooks-reference/` no longer assume `develop`. +- **Director memory stays in the project.** `creative-director`, `producer` and + `technical-director` kept their memory in your home folder, shared by every + project on the machine. Like the other 14 agents, they now keep it in the + project's gitignored `.claude/agent-memory/`. Notes already in the home folder + are not moved — [UPGRADING.md](UPGRADING.md#v111--v112) says how to keep them. +- **Python 3 and Bash are listed as required** — every skill reads + `project.yaml` through Python, and every hook runs in Bash. Install steps lead + with Claude Code's native installer, and the VS Code extension's own + permission setting is named; counts, links and examples that had drifted are + corrected. +- **Engine commands say how to run on a Mac.** `/smoke-check` wraps each + engine run in `timeout`, which macOS does not have; it now names `gtimeout` + (Homebrew `coreutils`) and a `perl` form that needs nothing installed. + `/setup-engine` says no engine is on `PATH` on macOS either, and names the + Godot binary inside its app bundle, so `commands.*` gets a path that runs. +- **The reference docs match Claude Code 2.1.282**: hook schemas (the 10,000- + character output cap, SessionStart's `fork` source, every exit-2 event), the + effects map, context windows, director-gate model tiers, and + the bundled review command (`/review`). +- **A Proposed ADR blocks a story again.** In 1.1.0 `/dev-story` stopped reading + an ADR's status, so a story built on an unaccepted decision went ahead. It + now stops and tells you to accept the ADR with `/architecture-decision + accept`. `/create-stories` reads the status it marks stories Blocked on, and + stops when the epic you name doesn't exist; `/story-readiness` reports a + Proposed or missing ADR as BLOCKED at every `workflow` tier, as `/dev-story` + stops on it. Accepting an ADR keeps its `## Date`: rewriting it made every + story drafted against the Proposed ADR look out of date to `/dev-story`. +- **`/architecture-review` writes the traceability index where the gate reads + it**, `docs/architecture/requirements-traceability.md`. It had named no path, + so the Pre-Production gate could not find the file outside `rtm` mode. +- **One evidence rule, everywhere.** `/test-evidence-review`, `/qa-plan`, the + evidence template and the effects map now agree with `/story-done`: a UI + story closes on its retained screenshots, a Visual/Feel story on screenshots + and sign-off, and no `qa.level` waives either. `/test-evidence-review` checks + the evidence path the story names before guessing, looks in each engine's test + folder, and no longer asks UI stories for three sign-offs and a walkthrough. + `/test-setup` creates `production/qa/evidence/`, and `/smoke-check` counts + only files your engine's test runner can run. +- **One bug severity scale.** `/bug-report` filed S2-Major, S3-Minor and + S4-Trivial, which `/bug-triage` doesn't read, and `/hotfix` called a bug with + a workaround S2, which triage calls S3. `/bug-report`, `/hotfix`, `qa-lead`, + the release and launch checklists and the incident template now use S1 + Critical / S2 High / S3 Medium / S4 Low. `/bug-report` numbers a new bug one + past the highest existing ID, and `/team-qa` files bugs the same way — + `BUG-0001.md`, where it wrote `BUG-001-[slug].md` — so `/bug-report verify` + and `close` find any bug by its number, older ones included. +- **Director reviews go to the director the gate names, and only in the modes + that run them.** `/art-bible` sent its review to `creative-director` instead + of `art-director`, and `/create-architecture` reviewed its own architecture + in every mode instead of spawning `technical-director`. A rejected + architecture can no longer be accepted. `/create-control-manifest` and + `/propagate-design-change` read the review mode they branch on; + `/architecture-decision` names the reviewers it actually spawns; and + `/team-narrative` runs its narrative consistency review in every review mode + when `narrative-director` is on the team, and says so when it is not. +- **`/gate-check` can pass at `standard`.** It required "all four directors" + READY after narrowing the panel, and on entering Systems Design it + recommended `/create-architecture` instead of `/map-systems`. `/map-systems` + no longer skips its verdict and session save when a review is skipped. +- **Every verdict has a word for "could not check".** `/release-checklist`, + `/regression-suite`, `/consistency-check` (with an empty registry, a name + the registry doesn't have, or no GDDs in scope), + `/content-audit`, `/story-readiness` and `/tech-debt` (with no register) + report NOT ASSESSED instead of passing, and `/prototype` recommends NOT + ASSESSED for a prototype nobody has played. In `/team-qa` an open S1 or S2 bug + means NOT APPROVED even when other evidence is missing; it read as NOT + ASSESSED. `/security-audit`'s + FIX CRITICALS FIRST is now **FIX BEFORE SHIPPING** — open HIGH findings, no + CRITICAL — with a rule for choosing each verdict. `/qa-plan`, `/bug-triage`, + `/perf-profile` and `/story-done` (for a deferred criterion) always end with + a verdict, and `/code-review`, `/asset-audit` and `/review-all-gdds` use one + verdict scale each. +- **Team skills spawn every agent they use.** Each `team.size` set in + `/team-audio`, `/team-level`, `/team-release` and `/team-live-ops` now + includes the agents its own steps call, which were otherwise never spawned. + `/team-narrative` drafts in `production/narrative/` and asks once before + writing the finals to `design/narrative/`. `/team-combat` says when no engine + is set, and `/team-level` and `/team-ui` show usage when given no argument. + At `team.size: studio`, the "adversarial review pass" in `/team-combat`, + `/team-ui` and `/team-polish` is now defined — that phase's reviewers are told + to find how the work breaks, and the report says the pass ran — and extras + that no step defined were removed from `/team-audio`, `/team-polish`, + `/team-narrative` and `/team-live-ops`. + `/team-narrative` at `small` adds its lore and localization agents only at + `review_mode: full`. +- **Skills ask before they write, and write what they say.** `/dev-story`, + `/sprint-plan`, `/patch-notes`, `/localize` and `/adopt` wrote files without + asking, or wrote files the question didn't name. `/create-architecture` writes + once, at the end. `/perf-profile` can save the report it offers, `/tech-debt` + no longer appends a debt item that's already in the register, and + `/consistency-check` no longer offers to save a report it has no path for. +- **`/skill-improve` no longer discards your uncommitted edits.** It reverted a + rejected change with `git checkout`, dropping every edit to the skill since + your last commit; it now restores the copy it saved. +- **Test helpers compile on Unity and Unreal.** `/test-helpers` put them under + `tests/helpers/`, which neither engine builds; they now go in each engine's + test folder, and the Godot scene helper no longer extends a test suite. + `/test-flakiness` names quarantine mechanisms from each test framework's own + documentation, and says Unreal's is not covered. +- **Templates match what the skills write.** The reverse-documentation GDD + template has all eight standard sections. The art bible template had a + different set of sections from the nine `/art-bible` writes; it now has those + nine, and `/art-bible` creates the file from it. `/ux-design`'s HUD spec has + the sections `/ux-review` checks, so a HUD spec can now be approved, plus the + Information Hierarchy and Acceptance Criteria its template always had; a UX + spec gains the input-method checklist and the Platform Target line + `/ux-review` asks for. Templates and skills use the same section names, and + `/art-bible` and `/ux-design` list an existing document's sections by them. +- **`/create-epics` works at `minimal`**, building epics from the brief instead + of stopping for GDDs. `/setup-engine` asks whether an Unreal project's + gameplay lives mostly in C++ or in Blueprints, and other skills fix smaller dead ends: `/onboard` + without a role, `/playtest-report` without an argument, a failed smoke test + in `/hotfix`, and `/retrospective` pointing at the read-only `/sprint-status`. +- **Directors can say they could not judge.** A director gate can now answer + NOT ASSESSED, naming the input it did not get, instead of picking a + confident word; every skill that spawns one treats it as "not approved" and + says what was missing. "Revise flagged items" now means the specialist + re-drafts the section and you approve it again before it is written. +- **`/sprint-plan` no longer sets your review mode.** On the first `new` sprint + of a project it asked for a review depth and wrote it into `project.yaml` and + `production/review-mode.txt`, overriding `modes.rigor` for good. It now uses + the resolved mode; `/settings` changes it when you mean to. It also numbers the + new sprint after the last one and carries unfinished stories over. +- **Checks that could pass on nothing now say so.** `/asset-audit` said + COMPLIANT with zero assets scanned — and on every Unreal project, whose assets + live in `Content/`; `/balance-check` said HEALTHY with no targets to compare; + `/code-review` said APPROVED when the engine review never ran. Each now + reports NOT ASSESSED, as do `/launch-checklist`, `/team-polish`, + `/localize qa` and `/project-stage-detect` where they could not check. + `/security-audit`'s FIX BEFORE SHIPPING now outranks NOT ASSESSED, so an open + HIGH finding is never hidden behind a category it could not scan. +- **The release gate checks security and localisation.** `/gate-check release` + reads the newest `/security-audit` (at `standard` and `full`, an open CRITICAL + or HIGH blocks it) and each locale's `/localize qa` result (required at + `full`), and names the bug severities that block per tier (S1–S3 at `full`, + S1 below). It is a readiness gate, run before shipping: the release checklist, + changelog, security audit and localization checks now sit in the Polish phase + in `/help` and the workflow guide, and `/team-release` expects the stage to + read `Release` already. +- **Releases and hotfixes are trunk-based everywhere.** `/team-release` tags + `main` and cuts a release branch only to stabilise one; `/hotfix` starts from + the release tag and merges back to `main`. `/team-release` has + `release-manager` write the patch notes — `community-manager` has no shell to + run `/patch-notes` — and `community-manager` writes the announcement from them. +- **The guides name the right gate.** The workflow guide named every phase gate + one phase late and showed a `/gate-check concept` that does not exist; + `/design-system`, `/map-systems` and the systems-index template sent you to the + wrong gate once your GDDs were done. `/gate-check`'s argument is the phase + you are entering, everywhere. +- **More asking before writing.** `/start` asks before writing `project.yaml`; + `/dev-story` asks before marking a story In Progress; `/team-combat` writes the + GDD itself after asking; nine design agents ask before creating a skeleton + file; `/create-architecture` no longer overwrites an existing architecture + document, and its focus runs now save their section. +- **The default path, more of it.** `/help` reads your checkpoint at `minimal`, + so it recommends `/story-done` after `/dev-story` instead of `/dev-story` + again; `/quick-design` works on a system with no GDD from the brief and the + story; `/qa-plan`, `/story-readiness`, `/dev-story` and `/team-qa` no longer + waive a UI story's screenshot at `qa.level: minimal`. +- **Agents.** `accessibility-specialist` drafts findings instead of following a + programmer's workflow; `security-engineer` reports in `/security-audit`'s + format; `godot-specialist`, `unity-specialist` and `unreal-specialist` say + when a request is for another engine; + and dozens of agents state rules their specs expected but their files left + implied. A `.gdextension` example commented with `#` swallowed its + `[libraries]` section — ConfigFile comments start with `;`. +- **Verdicts and records that could mislead.** `/security-audit` let a + category it could not scan replace FIX BEFORE SHIPPING with NOT ASSESSED; a + known HIGH now decides. It also says when `security-engineer` was not + spawned. `/team-qa` no longer records a manual-QA result the tester did not give, and its qa-lead drafts the + sign-off for you to approve instead of writing it first. `/bug-report verify` + says CANNOT VERIFY when the related test did not run, and never puts an email + address in a bug. `/consistency-check` at `standard` compares only the + required sections. `/create-architecture` runs its director review after a + one-section update too. `/dev-story` and `/create-stories` read an ADR's + status in one step even with a blank line under each heading. The shipped + `.gitignore` no longer drops gdUnit4's test runner (`addons/gdUnit4/bin/`), + and `/team-narrative` reads the project's canon before any agent drafts. +- **Team skills ask before agents write code.** `/team-combat`, `/team-audio`, + `/team-ui` and `/team-polish` let their agents write code, shaders and audio + files as if they were drafts, without asking; each agent now lists the files + it will create or change, and the skill asks once for the set. + `security-engineer` rates its own findings in `/security-audit`, and a + category the audit could not scan is never reported as reviewed. In + `/gate-check`, answering "no" to a manual check fails that item instead of + leaving it unchecked. `/skill-test`'s category mode says which verdict it + gives when, `/patch-notes` maps its categories onto your template's sections, + and `/create-control-manifest` names the source of each naming and budget rule. +- **Handoffs name every step the next gate reads.** `/create-architecture`'s + handoff now lists `/architecture-review`, which `/gate-check pre-production` + requires, and `/create-control-manifest`. `/team-combat` sizes its design + document by `modes.workflow`, as `/design-system` does — all eight sections + only at `full`, optional at `minimal` — and starts it from the GDD template, + `## Summary` included. `/brainstorm` asks before changing a scope the producer + calls unrealistic, and a blocked agent's report names what was missing and + where it was expected. `/create-architecture` asks you to approve its API + boundaries like every other section, `/review-all-gdds` reports how many of + the GDDs present it reviewed and names any it could not read, `/team-live-ops` + no longer starts economy design before you approve the theme and says what to + do when an ethics flag blocks the plan, and `/team-release` keeps its 48-hour + watch in the post-release phase. +- **`/gate-check` passes a project that is ready.** Directors were told "none" + for work a later phase does — the architecture before Pre-Production, the + sprint plan before Production — and read it as missing; it is now passed as + "not expected before [phase]". The four phase-gate reviews judge readiness for + the phase being entered, against that gate's required artifacts at your tier. + On CONCERNS you can advance by accepting the listed risks, which the gate + report records under Accepted Risks; a FAIL or NOT ASSESSED never moves the + stage. At `workflow: minimal` the production gate no longer asks for a + Vertical Slice — two checks on the current build replace it (the core loop is + fun, it runs end to end) — and the technical-setup gate passes with its "not + applicable" note. An unplayed Vertical Slice reads NOT ASSESSED, not FAIL, + and at `lean` and `solo` a skipped art-bible sign-off is not counted missing. + The release gate no longer asks for a localisation QA report for the source + language, reads the newest full-scope security audit so a narrower later one + can't clear an open HIGH, and names only `/release-checklist` as the release + checklist. `technical-director` and `creative-director` ask before writing a + decision down, as `producer` did. +- **A release waits for the release gate.** `/team-release` could tag and deploy + while the project was still in Polish, recommending `/gate-check release` + afterwards. It now stops before spawning anyone unless the stage reads + `Release`; proceeding anyway takes an explicit override, written into the + go/no-go record. Its QA step uses the release gate's bug thresholds (S1; S1–S3 + at `workflow: full`), and its agents each write their own sign-off file — two + wrote to one and could overwrite each other. `/release-checklist` read open + bugs from the milestone file, which lists none; it reads `production/qa/bugs/` + and says NOT ASSESSED when there are no bug records. `/launch-checklist` never + asked about what only a person can confirm (on-call, EULA, press keys), so it + could only end NOT ASSESSED; it now asks once per section (yes / no / not yet + / N/A), so READY and CONDITIONAL are reachable, and no longer creates + `production/releases/` before you approve the write. `/day-one-patch` asks once + before `lead-programmer` changes code and runs tests with `commands.test`. + `/hotfix` defines S1 as `/bug-triage` does and records `Tests: NOT RUN` when + `commands.test` is unset. `/localize` requires a QA PASS or PASS WITH + CONDITIONS for each translated locale at `workflow: full` only (recommended at + `standard`), as the gate does. + `release-manager` runs `/patch-notes` itself, `community-manager` follows your + project's voice guide over its defaults, and `devops-engineer` no longer asks + game-code architecture questions. +- **QA works at every `qa.level`.** `/team-qa` at `minimal` covers a Logic story + with no test by walking its acceptance criteria, where every sign-off ended NOT + ASSESSED; it reads the bugs already on file before QA starts, so an open S1 or + S2 is known up front, handles a smoke report that says NOT ASSESSED, and finds + `sprint-003.md` for `/team-qa sprint-3`. `/test-evidence-review` follows + `qa.level` (a missing test is WAIVED at `minimal`) and takes each story type's + gate level from `testing.strict`. `/bug-report verify` runs your + `commands.test`, and can verify a bug no test covers by asking whether you + played the reproduction steps; `close` shows the closure record and asks before + changing the bug file — it wrote first. `qa-tester` writes bugs in + `/bug-report`'s format, so `/bug-triage` and `/milestone-review` count them. + `/bug-triage` with no bug files ends with a verdict, and `/milestone-review` + calls an overridden OFF TRACK a CONDITIONAL GO. +- **Stories, ADRs and sprints agree.** `/dev-story` wrote `in_progress` to + `sprint-status.yaml`, which nothing else reads; it now writes `in-progress`, and + after an unfinished run the checkpoint says to resume `/dev-story` instead of + "Next step: /story-done". At `workflow: full` a story with `ADR: N/A` no longer + stops `/dev-story`; a Deprecated or Superseded ADR now blocks a story, naming + its successor. `/architecture-decision accept` finds the blocked stories it + should unblock — it searched for a status form `/create-stories` never + writes. `/story-done` picks the next story from the same list as `/help`, and + asks you about behaviour criteria instead of reading them off the code. + `/code-review` could approve code whose ADR it could not read; that is now NOT + ASSESSED. `/scope-check` and `/sprint-status` read the three-digit sprint names + `/sprint-plan` writes, and `/propagate-design-change` says how it finds + Foundation-layer ADRs. +- **Team skills say what they did.** `/team-polish` had `performance-analyst` + fix code its own agent file forbids it to write; its report is now the + optimisation list with an owner per item, `engine-programmer` (added to the + `small` and `studio` sets) and `tools-programmer` implement it after one ask + for the whole set, and at `individual` the list is handed to `/dev-story`. The + team skills said directors "still spawn at phase gates", which none did; a + phase gate is now a decision point the pipeline lists, in every automation + mode. `/team-audio`, `/team-level`, `/team-live-ops` and `/team-ui` name a + working file per agent where they said `[path]`. `/team-audio` keeps the sound + bible at `design/audio/sound-bible.md`, out of the GDD checks. `/team-combat`, + `/team-audio`, `/team-narrative` and `/team-ui` no longer end a plain COMPLETE + when a check could not run: the verdict names it (`COMPLETE — engine + validation NOT ASSESSED (…)`). An "ADR is Proposed" blocker points at + `/architecture-decision accept`. +- **`/security-audit` reports keep their findings.** Reports are named by scope + (`security-audit-[date]-[scope].md`), so a same-day `quick` run no longer + overwrites the full audit. `security-engineer` gets a fixed brief that says + every finding is rated from its table — it could arrive with findings + already rated — and a category the audit had no source for (the usual case + on Unity and Unreal) is named with how to fix it. The credential scan also catches + `ApiKey`, `sk_live_…` and each engine's log call. +- **Design skills finish on the path you're on.** `/art-bible` records a + skipped sign-off in the art bible's header (`SKIPPED [date] — [mode] mode`), + so the production gate finds it; asks you when `art-director` and + `technical-artist` disagree on an asset standard, as it already did for UX; + and at `workflow: minimal` hands off to `/create-stories` and `/dev-story` + instead of GDDs and architecture. `/prototype` names the minimal route and + reports NOT ASSESSED for a build nobody has played. `/adopt` audits the brief + against its template at `minimal` and says Concept has no gate to run. + `/tech-debt add` checks the register for a matching entry before appending. + `/ux-review` marks Pattern Library N/A for a HUD spec instead of NOT + ASSESSED, and the UX templates carry the `Template` line it picks its + checklist by. `/ux-design`, `ux-designer` and the accessibility template agree + on who sets the accessibility tier. +- **`/skill-test` judges the same way in every mode.** Category mode ranked NOT + ASSESSED differently from static and spec mode, and dropped a skill missing + from the catalog from `category all`; unparseable frontmatter is now + NON-COMPLIANT, and agents are listed from `.claude/agents/`. The spec + templates use the headings the specs do. +- **The skill-flow diagram shows each step in its phase.** Release preparation + (`/security-audit`, `/localize qa`, `/release-checklist`, `/changelog`, + `/patch-notes`) sits in Polish, before the release gate that checks it, and + the test framework and accessibility specs sit in Technical Setup, before the + gate that requires them at `full`. Five output paths now match what the skills write, + and the effects map names the skills that read `project.stage`, + `commands.test`, `testing.strict` and `qa.level`, and those that write the stage. +- **Team skills say plainly that they run no director gate.** The `review_mode` + note in all nine still said `lean` runs the four director phase gates, though + no team pipeline has one. +- **A team pipeline that skipped an agent ends BLOCKED.** Choosing "skip this + agent and note the gap" lets the other phases run, but the verdict names the + gap instead of reading COMPLETE. +- **`/code-review` no longer reads as ranking `NO ADRS FOUND` above an + approval.** The ranking sentence belonged to NOT ASSESSED. +- **Accepting an ADR unblocks only the stories waiting on it.** A story still on + a superseded ADR, which names the new one as its successor, stays Blocked.

If you edited those agent files, change +`memory: user` to `memory: project` in their frontmatter. + +**`production/session-state/active.md`** — no action. The first `/dev-story` or +`/story-done` adds the STATUS and CHECKPOINT blocks at the top of an older file +and leaves the rest alone. + +**`design/game-brief.md`** — optional: add a `**Reference game:**` line (see the +template). + +**Python 3** — now listed as required.
