Donchitos ad540fe75d 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

team-polish Orchestrate the polish team: coordinates performance-analyst, technical-artist, sound-designer, and qa-tester to optimize, polish, and harden a feature or area for release quality. [feature or area to polish] true Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit, Bash, Task

When this skill is invoked, orchestrate the polish team through a structured pipeline.

Team Composition

  • performance-analyst — Profiling, optimization, memory analysis, frame budget
  • technical-artist — VFX polish, shader optimization, visual quality
  • sound-designer — Audio polish, mixing, ambient layers, feedback sounds
  • qa-tester — Edge case testing, regression testing, soak testing

How to Delegate

Use the Task tool to spawn each team member as a subagent:

  • subagent_type: performance-analyst — Profiling, optimization, memory analysis
  • subagent_type: technical-artist — VFX polish, shader optimization, visual quality
  • subagent_type: sound-designer — Audio polish, mixing, ambient layers
  • subagent_type: qa-tester — Edge case testing, regression testing, soak testing

Always provide full context in each agent's prompt (target feature/area, performance budgets, known issues). Launch independent agents in parallel where the pipeline allows it (e.g., Phases 3 and 4 can run simultaneously).

Pipeline

Phase 1: Assessment

Delegate to performance-analyst:

  • Profile the target feature/area using /perf-profile
  • Identify performance bottlenecks and frame budget violations
  • Measure memory usage and check for leaks
  • Benchmark against target hardware specs
  • Output: performance report with prioritized optimization list

Phase 2: Optimization

Delegate to performance-analyst (with relevant programmers as needed):

  • Fix performance hotspots identified in Phase 1
  • Optimize draw calls, reduce overdraw
  • Fix memory leaks and reduce allocation pressure
  • Verify optimizations don't change gameplay behavior
  • Output: optimized code with before/after metrics

Phase 3: Visual Polish (parallel with Phase 2)

Delegate to technical-artist:

  • Review VFX for quality and consistency with art bible
  • Optimize particle systems and shader effects
  • Add screen shake, camera effects, and visual juice where appropriate
  • Ensure effects degrade gracefully on lower settings
  • Output: polished visual effects

Phase 4: Audio Polish (parallel with Phase 2)

Delegate to sound-designer:

  • Review audio events for completeness (are any actions missing sound feedback?)
  • Check audio mix levels — nothing too loud or too quiet relative to the mix
  • Add ambient audio layers for atmosphere
  • Verify audio plays correctly with spatial positioning
  • Output: audio polish list and mixing notes

Phase 5: Hardening

Delegate to qa-tester:

  • Test all edge cases: boundary conditions, rapid inputs, unusual sequences
  • Soak test: run the feature for extended periods checking for degradation
  • Stress test: maximum entities, worst-case scenarios
  • Regression test: verify polish changes haven't broken existing functionality
  • Test on minimum spec hardware (if available)
  • Output: test results with any remaining issues

Phase 6: Sign-off

  • Collect results from all team members
  • Compare performance metrics against budgets
  • Report: READY FOR RELEASE / NEEDS MORE WORK
  • List any remaining issues with severity and recommendations

Output

A summary report covering: performance before/after metrics, visual polish changes, audio polish changes, test results, and release readiness assessment.
