SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a guided onboarding experience for new users, helping them understand their current project state and directing them to the most appropriate workflow without making assumptions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project State Detection: Silently gathers context about the project's engine configuration, game concept, source code, prototypes, design documents, and production artifacts.
  • User-Centric Routing: Asks the user about their starting point (no idea, vague idea, clear concept, existing work) and provides tailored recommendations.
  • Workflow Guidance: Suggests the next logical steps and skills to run based on the user's input and project state.
  • Use Case: A new user joins the Claude Code Game Studios project. They run /start, and the skill asks them where they are in their game development journey, then recommends starting with /brainstorm to develop a game concept.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get started with game development onboarding when I don't know which workflow to choose?

Game development onboarding starts by assessing your project state and user intent to recommend the right workflow. The skill asks about your starting point—no idea, vague idea, clear concept, or existing work—and suggests relevant next steps like brainstorming or engine setup.

What is project state detection and how does it guide my workflow setup?

Project state detection silently gathers context about your engine configuration, game concept, source code, prototypes, and design documents. This assessment ensures workflow guidance is tailored to your actual project state without making presumptions about where you are in development.

Can I use this onboarding guidance if I already have existing game prototypes and source code?

Yes, the onboarding guidance works with existing work by detecting your current production artifacts, source code, and prototypes. It then recommends next logical steps and skills based on your existing project state rather than starting from scratch.

What's the best way to set up a new game project when I only have a vague concept idea?

The best way to set up with a vague concept is to run the onboarding skill, which routes you to brainstorming to develop your game concept further. It assesses your project state and provides tailored recommendations for refining your idea before engine setup.

Does the workflow guidance recommend specific skills for game engine setup and planning?

Workflow guidance recommends specific skills like brainstorming for concept development, engine setup for configuration, and planning for project organization. Recommendations are based on your stated starting point and the detected state of your game development project.
