SKILL.md
Phase 1: Load Project Context
Read CLAUDE.md for project overview and standards.
Read the relevant agent definition from .claude/agents/ if a specific role is specified.
Phase 2: Scan Relevant Area
- For programmers: scan
src/for architecture, patterns, key files - For designers: scan
design/for existing design documents - For narrative: scan
design/narrative/for world-building and story docs - For QA: scan
tests/for existing test coverage - For production: scan
production/for current sprint and milestone
Read recent changes (git log if available) to understand current momentum.
Phase 3: Generate Onboarding Document
# Onboarding: [Role/Area]
## Project Summary
[2-3 sentence summary of what this game is and its current state]
## Your Role
[What this role does on this project, key responsibilities, who you report to]
## Project Architecture
[Relevant architectural overview for this role]
### Key Directories
| Directory | Contents | Your Interaction |
|-----------|----------|-----------------|
### Key Files
| File | Purpose | Read Priority |
|------|---------|--------------|
## Current Standards and Conventions
[Summary of conventions relevant to this role from CLAUDE.md and agent definition]
## Current State of Your Area
[What has been built, what is in progress, what is planned next]
## Current Sprint Context
[What the team is working on now and what is expected of this role]
## Key Dependencies
[What other roles/systems this role interacts with most]
## Common Pitfalls
[Things that trip up new contributors in this area]
## First Tasks
[Suggested first tasks to get oriented and productive]
1. [Read these documents first]
2. [Review this code/content]
3. [Start with this small task]
## Questions to Ask
[Questions the new contributor should ask to get fully oriented]
Phase 4: Save Document
Present the onboarding document to the user.
Ask: "May I write this to production/onboarding/onboard-[role]-[date].md?"
If yes, write the file, creating the directory if needed.
Phase 5: Next Steps
Verdict: COMPLETE — onboarding document generated.
- Share the onboarding doc with the new contributor before their first session.

/helpif the contributor needs guidance on what to work on next.
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
skill-improve
Improve a skill using a test-fix-retest loop. Runs static checks, proposes targeted fixes, rewrites the skill, re-tests, and keeps or reverts based on score change.
localize
Full localization pipeline: scan for hardcoded strings, extract and manage string tables, validate translations, generate translator briefings, run cultural/sensitivity review, manage VO localization, test RTL/platform requirements, enforce string freeze, and report coverage.
dev-story
Read a story file and implement it. Loads the full context (story, GDD requirement, ADR guidelines, control manifest), routes to the right programmer agent for the system and engine, implements the code and test, and confirms each acceptance criterion. The core implementation skill — run after /story-readiness, before /code-review and /story-done.
team-level
Orchestrate level design team: level-designer + narrative-director + world-builder + art-director + systems-designer + qa-tester for complete area/level creation.
sprint-plan
Generates a new sprint plan or updates an existing one based on the current milestone, completed work, and available capacity. Pulls context from production documents and design backlogs.
team-narrative
Orchestrate the narrative team: coordinates narrative-director, writer, world-builder, and level-designer to create cohesive story content, world lore, and narrative-driven level design.
