Guided Onboarding
This skill writes one file: production/review-mode.txt (review mode config set in Phase 3b).
This skill is the entry point for new users. It does NOT assume you have a game idea, an engine preference, or any prior experience. It asks first, then routes you to the right workflow.
Phase 1: Detect Project State
Before asking anything, silently gather context so you can tailor your guidance. Do NOT show these results unprompted — they inform your recommendations, not the conversation opener.
Check:
- Engine configured? Read
.claude/docs/technical-preferences.md. If the Engine field contains[TO BE CONFIGURED], the engine is not set. - Game concept exists? Check for
design/gdd/game-concept.md. - Source code exists? Glob for source files in
src/(*.gd,*.cs,*.cpp,*.h,*.rs,*.py,*.js,*.ts). - Prototypes exist? Check for subdirectories in
prototypes/. - Design docs exist? Count markdown files in
design/gdd/. - Production artifacts? Check for files in
production/sprints/orproduction/milestones/.
