striderZA.

art-bible

Guided, section-by-section Art Bible authoring. Creates the visual identity specification that gates all asset production. Run after /concept-brainstorm is approved and before /map-systems or any GDD authoring begins.

art-generate

Generates placeholder .aseprite files from asset specs using the Aseprite MCP. Reads asset specs and art bible, creates sprites with correct dimensions/palette/layers, exports PNGs. Run after /asset-spec has produced specs and /art-bible exists.

asset-audit

Audits game assets for compliance with naming conventions, file size budgets, format standards, and pipeline requirements. Identifies orphaned assets, missing references, and standard violations.

asset-spec

Generate per-asset visual specifications and AI generation prompts from GDDs, level docs, or character profiles. Produces structured spec files and updates the master asset manifest. Run after art bible and GDD/level design are approved, before production begins.

automated-smoke-test

Run an automated smoke test using the godot-mcp server. Launches the project, captures debug output, and checks for errors or crashes.

balance-check

Analyzes game balance data files, formulas, and configuration to identify outliers, broken progressions, degenerate strategies, and economy imbalances. Use after modifying any balance-related data or design. Use when user says 'balance report', 'check game balance', 'run a balance check'.

concept-brainstorm

Guided game concept ideation — from zero idea to a structured game concept document. Uses professional studio ideation techniques, player psychology frameworks, and structured creative exploration.

content-audit

Audit GDD-specified content counts against implemented content. Identifies what's planned vs built.

create-architecture

Guided, section-by-section authoring of the master architecture document for the game. Reads all GDDs, the systems index, existing ADRs, and the engine reference library to produce a complete architecture blueprint before any code is written. Engine-version-aware: flags knowledge gaps and validates decisions against the pinned engine version.

create-control-manifest

After architecture is complete, produces a flat actionable rules sheet for programmers — what you must do, what you must never do, per system and per layer. Extracted from all Accepted ADRs, technical preferences, and engine reference docs. More immediately actionable than ADRs (which explain why).

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.

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.

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.

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.

hybrid-prototype

Fast-lane prototype skill for the hybrid workflow. Builds a playable prototype in 2-3 days with minimal process overhead. Designed for discovery phase.

init-template

First-time repo setup for new projects. Transforms the cloned OCGS template into a clean, ready-to-use game project with your own identity.

propagate-design-change

When a GDD is revised, scans all ADRs and the traceability index to identify which architectural decisions are now potentially stale. Produces a change impact report and guides the user through resolution.

qa-plan

Generate a QA test plan for a sprint or feature. Reads GDDs and story files, classifies stories by test type (Logic/Integration/Visual/UI), and produces a structured test plan covering automated tests required, manual test cases, smoke test scope, and playtest sign-off requirements. Run before sprint begins or when starting a major feature.

quick-design

Lightweight design spec for small changes — tuning adjustments, minor mechanics, balance tweaks. Skips full GDD authoring when a system GDD already exists or the change is too small to warrant one. Produces a Quick Design Spec that embeds directly into story files.

regression-suite

Map test coverage to GDD critical paths, identify fixed bugs without regression tests, flag coverage drift from new features, and maintain tests/regression-suite.md. Run after implementing a bug fix or before a release gate.

review-all-gdds

Holistic cross-GDD consistency and game design review. Reads all system GDDs simultaneously and checks for contradictions between them, stale references, ownership conflicts, formula incompatibilities, and game design theory violations (dominant strategies, economic imbalance, cognitive overload, pillar drift). Run after all MVP GDDs are written, before architecture begins.

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.

skill-test

Validate skill files for structural compliance and behavioral correctness. Three modes: static (linter), spec (behavioral), audit (coverage report).

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.

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.

story-done

End-of-story completion review. Reads the story file, verifies each acceptance criterion against the implementation, checks for GDD/ADR deviations, prompts code review, updates story status to Complete, and surfaces the next ready story from the sprint.

story-readiness

Validate that a story file is implementation-ready. Checks for embedded GDD requirements, ADR references, engine notes, clear acceptance criteria, and no open design questions. Produces READY / NEEDS WORK / BLOCKED verdict with specific gaps. Use when user says 'is this story ready', 'can I start on this story', 'is story X ready to implement'.

team-live-ops

Orchestrate the live-ops team for post-launch content planning: coordinates live-ops-designer, economy-designer, analytics-engineer, community-manager, writer, and narrative-director to design and plan a season, event, or live content update.

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.

team-qa

Orchestrate the QA team through a full testing cycle. Coordinates qa-lead (strategy + test plan) and qa-tester (test case writing + bug reporting) to produce a complete QA package for a sprint or feature. Covers: test plan generation, test case writing, smoke check gate, manual QA execution, and sign-off report.

test-evidence-review

Quality review of test files and manual evidence documents. Goes beyond existence checks — evaluates assertion coverage, edge case handling, naming conventions, and evidence completeness. Produces ADEQUATE/INCOMPLETE/MISSING verdict per story. Run before QA sign-off or on demand.

test-flakiness

Detect non-deterministic (flaky) tests by reading CI run logs or test result history. Aggregates pass rates per test, identifies intermittent failures, recommends quarantine or fix, and maintains a flaky test registry. Best run during Polish phase or after multiple CI runs.

test-helpers

Generate engine-specific test helper libraries for the project's test suite. Reads existing test patterns and produces tests/helpers/ with assertion utilities, factory functions, and mock objects tailored to the project's systems. Reduces boilerplate in new test files.

test-setup

Scaffold the test framework and CI/CD pipeline for the project's engine. Creates the tests/ directory structure, engine-specific test runner configuration, and GitHub Actions workflow. Run once during Technical Setup phase before the first sprint begins.

ux-design

Guided, section-by-section UX spec authoring for a screen, flow, or HUD. Reads game concept, player journey, and relevant GDDs to provide context-aware design guidance. Produces ux-spec.md (per screen/flow) or hud-design.md using the studio templates.

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.
