SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Game projects often lack structured creative direction, leaving mechanics, narrative, and UX decisions undocumented or inconsistent. This Skill activates a dedicated Game Designer persona (Samus Shepard) that guides brainstorming, game briefs, GDD creation, and narrative design through a menu-driven workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona-Driven Design Sessions: Adopts a Game Designer identity with configurable role, communication style, and principles loaded from customize.toml. - Menu-Driven Workflows: Dispatches to skills for brainstorming game ideas, creating game briefs, building or validating GDDs, designing narrative, and planning game UX/UI. - Customizable Behavior: Supports team and user-level TOML overrides that merge with defaults for persona, facts, and menu items. - Use Case: Ask the designer to brainstorm a roguelike concept, then produce a Game Brief and a full GDD validated against the game's pillars and core loop. ## Quick Start Ask the Game Designer to brainstorm a new game concept and then create a Game Design Document for it.

Frequently Asked Questions about gds-agent-game-designer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Game Design Document with an AI agent?▼

Invoke the Game Designer persona and select the GDD menu item, which dispatches the gds-gdd skill to create, update, or validate a Game Design Document. Documents are checked against the game's pillars and core loop.

What can the Game Designer agent do?▼

It handles five menu workflows: brainstorming game ideas, creating a Game Brief, creating or validating a GDD, designing narrative and story elements, and planning game UX, UI, HUD, and player journeys.

Can I customize the Game Designer persona and menu?▼

Yes. Create team overrides in _bmad/custom/gds-agent-game-designer.toml or personal overrides in the .user.toml variant. Scalars override, arrays append, and menu entries keyed by code replace or add items.

How do I skip the menu and run a design task directly?▼

State your intent in the first message, such as asking to brainstorm a game. The agent detects the matching menu item and dispatches that skill directly instead of rendering the numbered menu.

What are the limitations of this game design agent?▼

It is a persona and dispatch layer only; actual deliverables come from the referenced skills like gds-gdd or gds-brainstorm-game, which must be installed. It does not produce code, art, or engine implementations.
