smoke-check
Run the critical path smoke test gate before QA hand-off. Executes the automated test suite, verifies core functionality, and produces a PASS/FAIL report. Run after a sprint's stories are implemented and before manual QA begins. A failed smoke check means the build is not ready for QA.

team-ui
Orchestrate the UI team through the full UX pipeline: from UX spec authoring through visual design, implementation, review, and polish. Integrates with /ux-design, /ux-review, and studio UX templates.

day-one-patch
Prepare a day-one patch for a game launch. Scopes, prioritises, implements, and QA-gates a focused patch addressing known issues discovered after gold master but before or immediately after public launch. Treats the patch as a mini-sprint with its own QA gate and rollback plan.

create-stories
Break a single epic into implementable story files. Reads the epic, its GDD, governing ADRs, and control manifest. Each story embeds its GDD requirement TR-ID, ADR guidance, acceptance criteria, story type, and test evidence path. Run after /create-epics for each epic.

-
create-epics
Translate approved GDDs + architecture into epics — one epic per architectural module. Defines scope, governing ADRs, engine risk, and untraced requirements. Does NOT break into stories — run /create-stories [epic-slug] after each epic is created.

Generate design or architecture documents from existing implementation. Works backwards from code/prototypes to create missing planning docs.

-
project-stage-detect
Automatically analyze project state, detect stage, identify gaps, and recommend next steps based on existing artifacts. Use when user asks 'where are we in development', 'what stage are we in', 'full project audit'.

-
release-checklist
Generates a comprehensive pre-release validation checklist covering build verification, certification requirements, store metadata, and launch readiness.

adopt
Brownfield onboarding — audits existing project artifacts for template format compliance (not just existence), classifies gaps by impact, and produces a numbered migration plan. Run this when joining an in-progress project or upgrading from an older template version. Distinct from /project-stage-detect (which checks what exists) — this checks whether what exists will actually work with the template's skills.

bug-triage
Read all open bugs in production/qa/bugs/, re-evaluate priority vs. severity, assign to sprints, surface systemic trends, and produce a triage report. Run at sprint start or when the bug count grows enough to need re-prioritization.

-
bug-report
Creates a structured bug report from a description, or analyzes code to identify potential bugs. Ensures every bug report has full reproduction steps, severity assessment, and context.

-
soak-test
Generate a soak test protocol for extended play sessions. Defines what to observe, measure, and log during long play sessions to surface slow leaks, fatigue effects, and edge cases that only appear after sustained play. Primarily used in Polish and Release phases.

-
ux-review
Validates a UX spec, HUD design, or interaction pattern library for completeness, accessibility compliance, GDD alignment, and implementation readiness. Produces APPROVED / NEEDS REVISION / MAJOR REVISION NEEDED verdict with specific gaps.

-
architecture-review
Validates completeness and consistency of the project architecture against all GDDs. Builds a traceability matrix mapping every GDD technical requirement to ADRs, identifies coverage gaps, detects cross-ADR conflicts, verifies engine compatibility consistency across all decisions, and produces a PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL verdict. The architecture equivalent of /design-review.
