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.
Audit GDD-specified content counts against implemented content. Identifies what's planned vs built.
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.
Generates a comprehensive milestone progress review including feature completeness, quality metrics, risk assessment, and go/no-go recommendation. Use at milestone checkpoints or when evaluating readiness for a milestone deadline.
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'.
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.
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.
Generates a sprint or milestone retrospective by analyzing completed work, velocity, blockers, and patterns. Produces actionable insights for the next iteration.
Analyze a feature or sprint for scope creep by comparing current scope against the original plan. Flags additions, quantifies bloat, and recommends cuts. Use when user says 'any scope creep', 'scope review', 'are we staying in scope'.
Generates a new sprint plan or updates an existing one based on the current milestone, completed work, and available capacity. Pulls context from production documents and design backlogs.
Fast sprint status check. Reads the current sprint plan, scans story files for status, and produces a concise progress snapshot with burndown assessment and emerging risks. Run at any time during a sprint for quick situational awareness. Use when user asks 'how is the sprint going', 'sprint update', 'show sprint progress'.
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.
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.
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.
Audits game assets for compliance with naming conventions, file size budgets, format standards, and pipeline requirements. Identifies orphaned assets, missing references, and standard violations.
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.
Create and review pull requests following project standards including title format, description template, and review checklist. Use when creating PRs, writing PR descriptions, or reviewing pull requests.
