What does Claude Code Game Studios do?
Claude Code Game Studios is a set of 74 workflow skills, plus 49 agents, that runs a game project like a studio with stages and gates. Members cover brainstorming, art bibles, system design documents, architecture decisions, epics and stories, sprint plans, playtest reports, balance checks, localization and release checklists. The start member is the entry point: it runs a project-state script, asks whether you have no idea, a vague idea, a clear concept or existing work, and proposes a stage and a rigor level of minimal, standard or full. Only after an explicit yes does it save those to project.yaml, then it names the one skill you should type next.
It comes as a set of skills that work together:
