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-release Orchestrate the release team: coordinates release-manager, qa-lead, devops-engineer, and producer to execute a release from candidate to deployment. [version number or 'next'] true Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit, Bash, Task

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

Team Composition

  • release-manager — Release branch, versioning, changelog, deployment
  • qa-lead — Test sign-off, regression suite, release quality gate
  • devops-engineer — Build pipeline, artifacts, deployment automation
  • producer — Go/no-go decision, stakeholder communication, scheduling

How to Delegate

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

  • subagent_type: release-manager — Release branch, versioning, changelog, deployment
  • subagent_type: qa-lead — Test sign-off, regression suite, release quality gate
  • subagent_type: devops-engineer — Build pipeline, artifacts, deployment automation
  • subagent_type: producer — Go/no-go decision, stakeholder communication

Always provide full context in each agent's prompt (version number, milestone status, known issues). Launch independent agents in parallel where the pipeline allows it (e.g., Phase 3 agents can run simultaneously).

Pipeline

Phase 1: Release Planning

Delegate to producer:

  • Confirm all milestone acceptance criteria are met
  • Identify any scope items deferred from this release
  • Set the target release date and communicate to team
  • Output: release authorization with scope confirmation

Phase 2: Release Candidate

Delegate to release-manager:

  • Cut release branch from the agreed commit
  • Bump version numbers in all relevant files
  • Generate the release checklist using /release-checklist
  • Freeze the branch — no feature changes, bug fixes only
  • Output: release branch name and checklist

Phase 3: Quality Gate (parallel)

Delegate in parallel:

  • qa-lead: Execute full regression test suite. Test all critical paths. Verify no S1/S2 bugs. Sign off on quality.
  • devops-engineer: Build release artifacts for all target platforms. Verify builds are clean and reproducible. Run automated tests in CI.

Phase 4: Localization and Performance

Delegate (can run in parallel with Phase 3 if resources available):

  • Verify all strings are translated (delegate to localization-lead if available)
  • Run performance benchmarks against targets (delegate to performance-analyst if available)
  • Output: localization and performance sign-off

Phase 5: Go/No-Go

Delegate to producer:

  • Collect sign-off from: qa-lead, release-manager, devops-engineer, technical-director
  • Evaluate any open issues — are they blocking or can they ship?
  • Make the go/no-go call
  • Output: release decision with rationale

Phase 6: Deployment (if GO)

Delegate to release-manager + devops-engineer:

  • Tag the release in version control
  • Generate changelog using /changelog
  • Deploy to staging for final smoke test
  • Deploy to production
  • Monitor for 48 hours post-release

Phase 7: Post-Release

  • release-manager: Generate release report (what shipped, what was deferred, metrics)
  • producer: Update milestone tracking, communicate to stakeholders
  • qa-lead: Monitor incoming bug reports for regressions
  • Schedule post-release retrospective if issues occurred

Output

A summary report covering: release version, scope, quality gate results, go/no-go decision, deployment status, and monitoring plan.
