Creates .claude/docs/director-gates.md as a central registry of 18 named gate prompts (CD-*, TD-*, PR-*, LP-*, QL-*, ND-*, AD-*) covering all 7 production stages. Skills now reference gate IDs instead of embedding inline director prompts, eliminating drift when prompts need updating. Updated 15 skills to use gate IDs: brainstorm, map-systems, design-system, architecture-decision, create-architecture, create-epics, create-stories, sprint-plan, milestone-review, playtest-report, prototype, story-done, gate-check, setup-engine, start.

# Guided Onboarding
|
|
|
|
This skill is read-only — it reports findings but writes no files.
|
|
|
|
This skill is the entry point for new users. It does NOT assume you have a game idea, an engine preference, or any prior experience. It asks first, then routes you to the right workflow.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 1: Detect Project State
|
|
|
|
Before asking anything, silently gather context so you can tailor your guidance. Do NOT show these results unprompted — they inform your recommendations, not the conversation opener.
|
|
|
|
Check:
|
|
- **Engine configured?** Read `.claude/docs/technical-preferences.md`. If the Engine field contains `[TO BE CONFIGURED]`, the engine is not set.
|
|
- **Game concept exists?** Check for `design/gdd/game-concept.md`.
|
|
- **Source code exists?** Glob for source files in `src/` (`*.gd`, `*.cs`, `*.cpp`, `*.h`, `*.rs`, `*.py`, `*.js`, `*.ts`).
|
|
- **Prototypes exist?** Check for subdirectories in `prototypes/`.
|
|
- **Design docs exist?** Count markdown files in `design/gdd/`.
|
|
- **Production artifacts?** Check for files in `production/sprints/` or `production/milestones/`.
|
|
|
|
Store these findings internally to validate the user's self-assessment and tailor recommendations.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 2: Ask Where the User Is
|
|
|
|
This is the first thing the user sees. Use `AskUserQuestion` with these exact options so the user can click rather than type:
|
|
|
|
- **Prompt**: "Welcome to Claude Code Game Studios! Before I suggest anything, I'd like to understand where you're starting from. Where are you at with your game idea right now?"
|
|
- **Options**:
|
|
- `A) No idea yet` — I don't have a game concept at all. I want to explore and figure out what to make.
|
|
- `B) Vague idea` — I have a rough theme, feeling, or genre in mind (e.g., "something with space" or "a cozy farming game") but nothing concrete.
|
|
- `C) Clear concept` — I know the core idea — genre, basic mechanics, maybe a pitch sentence — but haven't formalized it into documents yet.
|
|
- `D) Existing work` — I already have design docs, prototypes, code, or significant planning done. I want to organize or continue the work.
|
|
|
|
Wait for the user's selection. Do not proceed until they respond.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Phase 3: Route Based on Answer
|
|
|
|
#### If A: No idea yet
|
|
|
|
The user needs creative exploration before anything else.
|
|
|
|
1. Acknowledge that starting from zero is completely fine
|
|
2. Briefly explain what `/brainstorm` does (guided ideation using professional frameworks — MDA, player psychology, verb-first design). Mention that it has two modes: `/brainstorm open` for fully open exploration, or `/brainstorm [hint]` if they have even a vague theme (e.g., "space", "cozy", "horror").
|
|
3. Recommend running `/brainstorm open` as the next step, but invite them to use a hint if something comes to mind
|
|
4. Show the recommended path:
|
|
**Concept phase:**
|
|
- `/brainstorm open` — discover your game concept
|
|
- `/setup-engine` — configure the engine (brainstorm will recommend one)
|
|
- `/map-systems` — decompose the concept into systems
|
|
- `/design-system` — author a GDD for each MVP system
|
|
- `/review-all-gdds` — cross-system consistency check
|
|
- `/gate-check` — validate readiness before architecture work
|
|
**Architecture phase:**
|
|
- `/architecture-decision` — record key technical decisions (one per system)
|
|
- `/create-control-manifest` — compile decisions into an actionable rules sheet
|
|
- `/architecture-review` — validate architecture coverage
|
|
**Production phase:**
|
|
- `/create-epics` — map systems to epics
|
|
- `/create-stories` — break epics into implementable stories
|
|
- `/sprint-plan` — plan the first sprint
|
|
|
|
#### If B: Vague idea
|
|
|
|
1. Ask them to share their vague idea — even a few words is enough
|
|
2. Validate the idea as a starting point (don't judge or redirect)
|
|
3. Recommend running `/brainstorm [their hint]` to develop it
|
|
4. Show the recommended path:
|
|
**Concept phase:**
|
|
- `/brainstorm [hint]` — develop the idea into a full concept
|
|
- `/setup-engine` — configure the engine
|
|
- `/map-systems` — decompose the concept into systems
|
|
- `/design-system` — author a GDD for each MVP system
|
|
- `/review-all-gdds` — cross-system consistency check
|
|
- `/gate-check` — validate readiness before architecture work
|
|
**Architecture phase:**
|
|
- `/architecture-decision` — record key technical decisions (one per system)
|
|
- `/create-control-manifest` — compile decisions into an actionable rules sheet
|
|
- `/architecture-review` — validate architecture coverage
|
|
**Production phase:**
|
|
- `/create-epics` — map systems to epics
|
|
- `/create-stories` — break epics into implementable stories
|
|
- `/sprint-plan` — plan the first sprint
|
|
|
|
#### If C: Clear concept
|
|
|
|
1. Ask them to describe their concept in one sentence — genre and core mechanic. Use plain text, not AskUserQuestion (it's an open response).
|
|
2. Acknowledge the concept, then use `AskUserQuestion` to offer two paths:
|
|
- **Prompt**: "How would you like to proceed?"
|
|
- **Options**:
|
|
- `Formalize it first` — Run `/brainstorm [concept]` to structure it into a proper game concept document
|
|
- `Jump straight in` — Go to `/setup-engine` now and write the GDD manually afterward
|
|
3. Show the recommended path:
|
|
**Concept phase:**
|
|
- `/brainstorm` or `/setup-engine` (their pick)
|
|
- `/design-review` — validate the concept doc
|
|
- `/map-systems` — decompose the concept into individual systems
|
|
- `/design-system` — author a GDD for each MVP system
|
|
- `/review-all-gdds` — cross-system consistency check
|
|
- `/gate-check` — validate readiness before architecture work
|
|
**Architecture phase:**
|
|
- `/architecture-decision` — record key technical decisions (one per system)
|
|
- `/create-control-manifest` — compile decisions into an actionable rules sheet
|
|
- `/architecture-review` — validate architecture coverage
|
|
**Production phase:**
|
|
- `/create-epics` — map systems to epics
|
|
- `/create-stories` — break epics into implementable stories
|
|
- `/sprint-plan` — plan the first sprint
|
|
|
|
#### If D: Existing work
|
|
|
|
1. Share what you found in Phase 1:
|
|
- "I can see you have [X source files / Y design docs / Z prototypes]..."
|
|
- "Your engine is [configured as X / not yet configured]..."
|
|
|
|
2. **Sub-case D1 — Early stage** (engine not configured or only a game concept exists):
|
|
- Recommend `/setup-engine` first if engine not configured
|
|
- Then `/project-stage-detect` for a gap inventory
|
|
|
|
**Sub-case D2 — GDDs, ADRs, or stories already exist:**
|
|
- Explain: "Having files isn't the same as the template's skills being able to use them. GDDs might be missing required sections. `/adopt` checks this specifically."
|
|
- Recommend:
|
|
1. `/project-stage-detect` — understand what phase and what's missing entirely
|
|
2. `/adopt` — audit whether existing artifacts are in the right internal format
|
|
|
|
3. Show the recommended path for D2:
|
|
- `/project-stage-detect` — phase detection + existence gaps
|
|
- `/adopt` — format compliance audit + migration plan
|
|
- `/setup-engine` — if engine not configured
|
|
- `/design-system retrofit [path]` — fill missing GDD sections
|
|
- `/architecture-decision retrofit [path]` — add missing ADR sections
|
|
- `/architecture-review` — bootstrap the TR requirement registry
|
|
- `/gate-check` — validate readiness for next phase
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 4: Confirm Before Proceeding
|
|
|
|
After presenting the recommended path, use `AskUserQuestion` to ask the user which step they'd like to take first. Never auto-run the next skill.
|
|
|
|
- **Prompt**: "Would you like to start with [recommended first step]?"
|
|
- **Options**:
|
|
- `Yes, let's start with [recommended first step]`
|
|
- `I'd like to do something else first`
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 5: Hand Off
|
|
|
|
When the user confirms their next step, respond with a single short line: "Type `[skill command]` to begin." Nothing else. Do not re-explain the skill or add encouragement. The `/start` skill's job is done.
|
|
|
|
Verdict: **COMPLETE** — user oriented and handed off to next step.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Edge Cases
|
|
|
|
- **User picks D but project is empty**: Gently redirect — "It looks like the project is a fresh template with no artifacts yet. Would Path A or B be a better fit?"
|
|
- **User picks A but project has code**: Mention what you found — "I noticed there's already code in `src/`. Did you mean to pick D (existing work)?"
|
|
- **User is returning (engine configured, concept exists)**: Skip onboarding entirely — "It looks like you're already set up! Your engine is [X] and you have a game concept at `design/gdd/game-concept.md`. Want to pick up where you left off? Try `/sprint-plan` or just tell me what you'd like to work on."
|
|
- **User doesn't fit any option**: Let them describe their situation in their own words and adapt.
|

|
## Collaborative Protocol
|
|
|
|
1. **Ask first** — never assume the user's state or intent
|
|
2. **Present options** — give clear paths, not mandates
|
|
3. **User decides** — they pick the direction
|
|
4. **No auto-execution** — recommend the next skill, don't run it without asking
|
|
5. **Adapt** — if the user's situation doesn't fit a template, listen and adjust
|
