Donchitos 984023ddac Release v1.0.0 — concept-prototype/vertical-slice split, workflow restructure, polish (#50)
* Add /vertical-slice skill, prototype overhaul, and workflow integration

- Add /vertical-slice skill for pre-production validation (Phase 4 gate)
- Overhaul /prototype skill with two-mode design: concept prototype (Phase 1)
  vs vertical slice (Phase 4), with clearer differentiation and higher standards for VS
- Update prototyper agent to own both prototype and vertical-slice workflows
- Add prototype-report.md and vertical-slice-report.md output templates
- Update WORKFLOW-GUIDE, quick-start, skills-reference, agent-coordination-map,
  and skill-flow-diagrams to fully integrate both skills into the 7-phase pipeline
- Remove orphaned empty quick-prototype/ directory

* sync v1 counts + polish

* Add entity inventory flow, relax vertical-slice gate, improve UX authoring prompts

- /asset-spec: new Phase 0b entity & screen inventory when no argument and no
  existing inventory — reads GDDs/art-bible, proposes categorized list, writes
  design/assets/entity-inventory.md collaboratively
- /asset-spec: entity/character target falls back to inline user description
  when no source doc exists, rather than failing
- /gate-check: vertical slice changed from blocking to CONCERNS-only when
  absent; built-but-broken slice still fails; adds entity inventory as gate artifact
- /ux-design: convert inline approval prompts to AskUserQuestion for structured
  option capture at key authoring decision points
- workflow-catalog.yaml: entity-inventory step added to pre-production; UX spec
  min_count raised to 3; vertical-slice and prototype marked required: false with
  updated descriptions
- .gitignore: exclude marrow/ eval tooling directory

* Add missing AskUserQuestion widgets to 7 skills

Audit found 11 decision points across 7 skills where structured option
prompts were missing — using plain text, auto-selection, or no gate at all.

Skills patched:
- create-epics: per-epic approval + producer CONCERNS verdict
- sprint-plan: producer CONCERNS verdict with scope/timeline options
- milestone-review: AT RISK / OFF TRACK producer verdicts require acknowledgement
- retrospective: existing-retro handling converted from plain text [A]/[B]
- quick-design: classification confirmation + draft approve/revise/redirect
- tech-debt add mode: category (6 options) + effort (S/M/L/XL) structured capture
- regression-suite: no-arg mode selection instead of silent auto-detect
- hotfix: severity confirmation gate before workflow begins

Also added AskUserQuestion to allowed-tools headers for retrospective,
quick-design, tech-debt, regression-suite, and hotfix.

* Prep v1 stable: fix WORKFLOW-GUIDE counts, stale agent names, and skill model fields

- WORKFLOW-GUIDE.md: correct agent count (48→49), skill count (66/68→73),
  add 6 missing skills to Appendix B, fix Creative category count (2→4),
  replace 3 non-existent agent names with correct ue-*/unity-* specialists,
  add missing godot-csharp/gdextension specialists to hierarchy,
  fix production/stories/ paths → production/epics/
- coordination-rules.md: replace "not yet used" with opt-in env var note
- quick-start.md: rename duplicate "Validate the concept" label → "Prototype the mechanic"
- skill-flow-diagrams.md: remove duplicate legacy UX pipeline section
- All 62 skills missing model: field now have explicit model: sonnet

* fix: comprehensive skill audit — consistency, UX, and flow gaps

Two-pass audit fixing ~35 bugs across 41 files.

Pre-production flow:
- Brainstorm next-steps split into Path A (design-first) and Path B
  (prototype-first) — eliminates "prototype after architecture" confusion
- /architecture-review added to pre-production flow in brainstorm and
  create-architecture handoffs
- gate-check traceability check corrected to requirements-traceability.md
- dev-story TR registry error now points to /architecture-review (not /create-epics)
- start now writes production/stage.txt on first onboarding

AskUserQuestion gaps filled:
- balance-check, code-review, hotfix, day-one-patch, consistency-check
  all gain closing widgets and/or missing allowed-tools declarations
- hotfix git branch creation now requires user confirmation
- sprint-plan review-mode setup moved to Phase 0 (before gates run)
- team-combat gains architecture→implementation approval gate
- design-review APPROVED path consolidated from 3 widgets to 1 multiSelect

All 9 team-* skills:
- Phase 0 review-mode resolution added (solo/lean/full now respected)
- team-audio output path fixed (design/gdd/ → design/audio/)
- team-level final doc compilation delegated to level-designer subagent
- team-narrative localization-lead added to composition list
- team-qa sprint path fixed (flat files, not directories)
- team-release NO-GO override captures written justification
- team-live-ops Cancel verdict now explicitly BLOCKED

Other fixes:
- Art bible path standardized to design/art/art-bible.md (3 wrong refs)
- AD-PHASE-GATE added to lean-mode skip list in director-gates.md
- design-system duplicate 5d heading fixed; skeleton decline path added;
  mandatory agent spawns now respect review mode
- story-readiness acceptance criteria thresholds now type-aware
- create-stories gains multi-ADR and no-ADR handling guidance
- consistency-check creates docs/consistency-failures.md on first run
- retrospective frontmatter bash injection replaced with explicit Bash call
- smoke-check ls -t gains PowerShell fallback
- Conventional Commits format documented in coding-standards.md
- gate-check: ADR acceptance gate, QA plan check, chain-of-verification
  tool-action requirement all added

* fix: expose --review flag in argument-hints for all team-* skills

All 9 team-* skills already implement Phase 0 review-mode resolution
internally (full/lean/solo), but none advertised [--review full|lean|solo]
in their argument-hint. Users had no way to discover the per-run override.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add SECURITY.md with coordinated disclosure policy

Defines scope, reporting process (GitHub private vulnerability reporting),
contributor security guidelines for hooks/skills/agents, and 90-day
coordinated disclosure timeline.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add CONTRIBUTING.md with framework contribution guidelines

Covers what PRs are welcome, skill/hook/agent technical requirements,
the collaborative principle, testing expectations, commit format,
and platform compatibility requirements.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add v1.0.0-beta → v1.0 upgrade section to UPGRADING.md

Documents the 17 commits since the beta tag: new /vertical-slice gate,
entity inventory flow in /map-systems, AskUserQuestion widgets across
7 skills, --review flag exposure on team-* skills, bug fixes
(#21, #36, #42, #43, #45), and the new CONTRIBUTING.md and SECURITY.md.

# CCGS Skill Testing Framework — Claude Instructions
This folder is the quality assurance layer for the Claude Code Game Studios skill/agent
framework. It is self-contained and separate from any game project.
## Key files
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `catalog.yaml` | Master registry for all 73 skills and 49 agents. Contains category, spec path, and last-test tracking fields. Always read this first when running any test command. |
| `quality-rubric.md` | Category-specific pass/fail metrics. Read the matching `###` section for the skill's category when running `/skill-test category`. |
| `skills/[category]/[name].md` | Behavioral spec for a skill — 5 test cases + protocol compliance assertions. |
| `agents/[tier]/[name].md` | Behavioral spec for an agent — 5 test cases + protocol compliance assertions. |
| `templates/skill-test-spec.md` | Template for writing new skill spec files. |
| `templates/agent-test-spec.md` | Template for writing new agent spec files. |
| `results/` | Written by `/skill-test spec` when results are saved. Gitignored. |
## Path conventions
- Skill specs: `CCGS Skill Testing Framework/skills/[category]/[name].md`
- Agent specs: `CCGS Skill Testing Framework/agents/[tier]/[name].md`
- Catalog: `CCGS Skill Testing Framework/catalog.yaml`
- Rubric: `CCGS Skill Testing Framework/quality-rubric.md`
The `spec:` field in `catalog.yaml` is the authoritative path for each skill/agent spec.
Always read it rather than guessing the path.
## Skill categories
```
gate → gate-check
review → design-review, architecture-review, review-all-gdds
authoring → design-system, quick-design, architecture-decision, art-bible,
create-architecture, ux-design, ux-review
readiness → story-readiness, story-done
pipeline → create-epics, create-stories, dev-story, create-control-manifest,
propagate-design-change, map-systems
analysis → consistency-check, balance-check, content-audit, code-review,
tech-debt, scope-check, estimate, perf-profile, asset-audit,
security-audit, test-evidence-review, test-flakiness
team → team-combat, team-narrative, team-audio, team-level, team-ui,
team-qa, team-release, team-polish, team-live-ops
sprint → sprint-plan, sprint-status, milestone-review, retrospective,
changelog, patch-notes
utility → all remaining skills
```
## Agent tiers
```
directors → creative-director, technical-director, producer, art-director
leads → lead-programmer, narrative-director, audio-director, ux-designer,
qa-lead, release-manager, localization-lead
specialists → gameplay-programmer, engine-programmer, ui-programmer,
tools-programmer, network-programmer, ai-programmer,
level-designer, sound-designer, technical-artist
godot → godot-specialist, godot-gdscript-specialist, godot-csharp-specialist,
godot-shader-specialist, godot-gdextension-specialist
unity → unity-specialist, unity-ui-specialist, unity-shader-specialist,
unity-dots-specialist, unity-addressables-specialist
unreal → unreal-specialist, ue-gas-specialist, ue-replication-specialist,
ue-umg-specialist, ue-blueprint-specialist
operations → devops-engineer, security-engineer, performance-analyst,
analytics-engineer, community-manager
creative → writer, world-builder, game-designer, economy-designer,
systems-designer, prototyper
```
## Workflow for testing a skill
1. Read `catalog.yaml` to get the skill's `spec:` path and `category:`
2. Read the skill at `.claude/skills/[name]/SKILL.md`
3. Read the spec at the `spec:` path
4. Evaluate assertions case by case
5. Offer to write results to `results/` and update `catalog.yaml`
## Workflow for improving a skill
Use `/skill-improve [name]`. It handles the full loop:
test → diagnose → propose fix → rewrite → retest → keep or revert.
## Spec validity note
Specs in this folder describe **current behavior**, not ideal behavior. They were
written by reading the skills, so they may encode bugs. When a skill misbehaves in
practice, correct the skill first, then update the spec to match the fixed behavior.
Treat spec failures as "this needs investigation," not "the skill is definitively wrong."
## This folder is deletable
Nothing in `.claude/` imports from here. Deleting this folder has no effect on the
CCGS skills or agents themselves. `/skill-test` and `/skill-improve` will report that
`catalog.yaml` is missing and guide the user to initialize it.
