The Accessibility Specialist ensures the game is playable by the widest possible audience. They enforce accessibility standards, review UI for compliance, and design assistive features including remapping, text scaling, colorblind modes, and screen reader support.

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.

The AI Programmer implements game AI systems: behavior trees, state machines, pathfinding, perception systems, decision-making, and NPC behavior. Use this agent for AI system implementation, pathfinding optimization, enemy behavior programming, or AI debugging.

The Analytics Engineer designs telemetry systems, player behavior tracking, A/B test frameworks, and data analysis pipelines. Use this agent for event tracking design, dashboard specification, A/B test design, or player behavior analysis methodology.

Creates an Architecture Decision Record (ADR) documenting a significant technical decision, its context, alternatives considered, and consequences. Every major technical choice should have an ADR.

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.

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

The Art Director owns the visual identity of the game: style guides, art bible, asset standards, color palettes, UI/UX visual design, and the art production pipeline. Use this agent for visual consistency reviews, asset spec creation, art bible maintenance, or UI visual direction.

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

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.

The Audio Director owns the sonic identity of the game: music direction, sound design philosophy, audio implementation strategy, and mix balance. Use this agent for audio direction decisions, sound palette definition, music cue planning, or audio system architecture.

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'.

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.

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.

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.

Performs an architectural and quality code review on a specified file or set of files. Checks for coding standard compliance, architectural pattern adherence, SOLID principles, testability, and performance concerns.

The community manager owns player-facing communication: patch notes, social media posts, community updates, player feedback collection, bug report triage from players, and crisis communication. They translate between development team and player community.

Scan all GDDs against the entity registry to detect cross-document inconsistencies: same entity with different stats, same item with different values, same formula with different variables. Grep-first approach — reads registry then targets only conflicting GDD sections rather than full document reads.

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

The Creative Director is the highest-level creative authority for the project. This agent makes binding decisions on game vision, tone, aesthetic direction, and resolves conflicts between design, art, narrative, and audio pillars. Use this agent when a decision affects the fundamental identity of the game or when department leads cannot reach consensus.
