DonchitosandClaude Opus 5 d05699707f Release 1.1.0 — one config file, and a process weight you choose
`project.yaml` at the repo root is now the single source of truth for a
project's configuration, replacing `production/stage.txt`,
`production/review-mode.txt` and `.claude/docs/technical-preferences.md` (all
three still read as a fallback; nothing is force-deleted).

**`modes.rigor` — one question instead of six.** `minimal`, `standard` or
`full` fronts six knobs: `modes.workflow`, `docs.density`, `qa.level`,
`modes.story_granularity`, `modes.review_mode` and `team.size`. It defaults to
`minimal`, which is a change from 1.0's behaviour: the heavier tier was
measured costing several times more to reach working code without producing a
better result, and returning nothing when a fresh developer inherited the
project. Pin `modes.rigor: standard` to keep 1.0's process level.

Also in this release:

- `/settings` to view or change any setting, and `project.local.yaml` for
  per-developer preferences that should not be committed.
- `system_overrides` to hold one system to a higher standard than the rest of
  the project, and `testing.strict` to set per test type whether missing
  evidence blocks a story or warns.
- A story that changes anything the player sees is not closed until the game
  has been launched, observed, and a screenshot retained in
  `production/qa/evidence/`. A parse check is not a run. This holds at every
  rigor level, including `minimal`, where automated tests are waived but the
  look is not.
- The code root is engine-specific and enforced as such: Godot `src/`, Unity
  `Assets/`, Unreal `Source/<Module>/`. Two of the three will not build a
  project laid out any other way.
- Migration tooling for existing projects: `.claude/scripts/migrate-v1-config.sh`
  converts a 1.0 layout, non-destructively by default, with a report to review
  before `--finalize` deletes anything.
- Ask-before-write holds regardless of personal automation settings.

Claude Code Game Studios -- Game Studio Agent Architecture

Indie game development managed through 49 coordinated Claude Code subagents. Each agent owns a specific domain, enforcing separation of concerns and quality.

Technology Stack

  • Engine: [CHOOSE: Godot 4 / Unity / Unreal Engine 5]
  • Language: [CHOOSE: GDScript / C# / C++ / Blueprint]
  • Version Control: Git with trunk-based development
  • Build System: [SPECIFY after choosing engine]
  • Asset Pipeline: [SPECIFY after choosing engine]

Note

: Engine-specialist agents exist for Godot, Unity, and Unreal with dedicated sub-specialists. Use the set matching your engine.

Project Structure

@.claude/docs/directory-structure.md

Engine Version Reference

@docs/engine-reference/godot/VERSION.md

Technical Preferences

project.yaml at the repo root is the primary config store — engine, specialists, naming, platform, performance, modes. Skills resolve it via resolve_config (see .claude/docs/config-resolution.md).

.claude/docs/technical-preferences.md is the legacy fallback, read on demand when a key is absent from project.yaml. It is no longer imported here: before /setup-engine runs it is almost entirely [TO BE CONFIGURED] placeholders, and after it runs project.yaml holds the real values.

Coordination Rules

@.claude/docs/coordination-rules.md

Collaboration Protocol

User-driven collaboration, not autonomous execution. Every task follows: Question -> Options -> Decision -> Draft -> Approval

  • Agents MUST ask "May I write this to [filepath]?" before using Write/Edit tools
  • Agents MUST show drafts or summaries before requesting approval
  • Multi-file changes require explicit approval for the full changeset
  • No commits without user instruction

See docs/COLLABORATIVE-DESIGN-PRINCIPLE.md for full protocol and examples.

First session? If the project has no engine configured and no game concept, run /start to begin the guided onboarding flow.

Coding Standards

@.claude/docs/coding-standards.md

Context Management

Read .claude/docs/context-management.md on demand — it is a reference, not session context. Two of its conventions are load-bearing and cited by name elsewhere in the repo, so they are restated here rather than lost:

  • production/session-state/active.md is the session checkpoint. The file is the memory, not the conversation. Read it first after any compaction, crash, or /clear.
  • Helpers in .claude/scripts/ emit observations, never verdicts. A script that scores or judges will eventually contradict a mode or override it cannot see. (Cited by artifact-check.sh and adr-dep-graph.sh.)
