+# feat(opencode): compact AGENTS.md generator and JSON-only integration
+
+## What
+
+Add JSON-only OpenCode integration and a compact AGENTS.md generator (no large embeds; clickable file links) with idempotent merges for BMAD instructions, agents, and commands.
+
+## Why
+
+Keep OpenCode config schema‑compliant and small, avoid key collisions, and provide a readable agents/tasks index without inflating AGENTS.md.
+
+## How
+
+- Ensure `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` in `instructions`
+- Merge only selected packages’ agents/commands into opencode.json file
+- Orchestrators `mode: primary`; all agents enable `write`, `edit`, `bash`
+- Descriptions from `whenToUse`/task `Purpose` with sanitization + fallbacks
+- Explicit warnings for non‑BMAD collisions; AGENTS.md uses a strict 3‑column table with links
+
+## Testing
+
+- Run: `npx bmad-method install -f -i opencode`
+- Verify: `opencode.json[c]` updated/created as expected, `AGENTS.md` OpenCode section is compact with links
+- Pre‑push checks:
+
+```bash
+npm run pre-release
+# or individually
+npm run validate
+npm run format:check
+npm run lint
+# if anything fails
+npm run fix
+# or
+npm run format
+npm run lint:fix

 BMAD™'s natural language framework works in ANY domain. Expansion packs provide specialized AI agents for creative writing, business strategy, health & wellness, education, and more. Also expansion packs can expand the core BMAD-METHOD™ with specific functionality that is not generic for all cases. [See the Expansion Packs Guide](docs/expansion-packs.md) and learn to create your own!
 
-## Codebase Flattener Tool
-
-The BMAD-METHOD™ includes a powerful codebase flattener tool designed to prepare your project files for AI model consumption. This tool aggregates your entire codebase into a single XML file, making it easy to share your project context with AI assistants for analysis, debugging, or development assistance.
-
-### Features
-
-- **AI-Optimized Output**: Generates clean XML format specifically designed for AI model consumption
-- **Smart Filtering**: Automatically respects `.gitignore` patterns to exclude unnecessary files
-- **Binary File Detection**: Intelligently identifies and excludes binary files, focusing on source code
-- **Progress Tracking**: Real-time progress indicators and comprehensive completion statistics
-- **Flexible Output**: Customizable output file location and naming
-
-### Usage
-
-```bash
-# Basic usage - creates flattened-codebase.xml in current directory
-npx bmad-method flatten
-
-# Specify custom input directory
-npx bmad-method flatten --input /path/to/source/directory
-npx bmad-method flatten -i /path/to/source/directory
-
-# Specify custom output file
-npx bmad-method flatten --output my-project.xml
-npx bmad-method flatten -o /path/to/output/codebase.xml
-
-# Combine input and output options
-npx bmad-method flatten --input /path/to/source --output /path/to/output/codebase.xml
-```
-
-### Example Output
-
-The tool will display progress and provide a comprehensive summary:
-
-```text
-📊 Completion Summary:
-✅ Successfully processed 156 files into flattened-codebase.xml
-📁 Output file: /path/to/your/project/flattened-codebase.xml
-📏 Total source size: 2.3 MB
-📄 Generated XML size: 2.1 MB
-📝 Total lines of code: 15,847
-🔢 Estimated tokens: 542,891
-📊 File breakdown: 142 text, 14 binary, 0 errors
-```
-
-The generated XML file contains your project's text-based source files in a structured format that AI models can easily parse and understand, making it perfect for code reviews, architecture discussions, or getting AI assistance with your BMAD-METHOD™ projects.
-
-#### Advanced Usage & Options
-
-- CLI options
-  - `-i, --input <path>`: Directory to flatten. Default: current working directory or auto-detected project root when run interactively.
-  - `-o, --output <path>`: Output file path. Default: `flattened-codebase.xml` in the chosen directory.
-- Interactive mode
-  - If you do not pass `--input` and `--output` and the terminal is interactive (TTY), the tool will attempt to detect your project root (by looking for markers like `.git`, `package.json`, etc.) and prompt you to confirm or override the paths.
-  - In non-interactive contexts (e.g., CI), it will prefer the detected root silently; otherwise it falls back to the current directory and default filename.
-- File discovery and ignoring
-  - Uses `git ls-files` when inside a git repository for speed and correctness; otherwise falls back to a glob-based scan.
-  - Applies your `.gitignore` plus a curated set of default ignore patterns (e.g., `node_modules`, build outputs, caches, logs, IDE folders, lockfiles, large media/binaries, `.env*`, and previously generated XML outputs).
-- Binary handling
-  - Binary files are detected and excluded from the XML content. They are counted in the final summary but not embedded in the output.
-- XML format and safety
-  - UTF-8 encoded file with root element `<files>`.
-  - Each text file is emitted as a `<file path="relative/path">` element whose content is wrapped in `<![CDATA[ ... ]]>`.
-  - The tool safely handles occurrences of `]]>` inside content by splitting the CDATA to preserve correctness.
-  - File contents are preserved as-is and indented for readability inside the XML.
-- Performance
-  - Concurrency is selected automatically based on your CPU and workload size. No configuration required.
-  - Running inside a git repo improves discovery performance.
-
-#### Minimal XML example
-
-```xml
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<files>
-  <file path="src/index.js"><![CDATA[
-    // your source content
-  ]]></file>
-</files>
-```

-#### Codex (CLI & Web)
-
-- Two modes are supported:
-  - Codex (local only): `npx bmad-method install -f -i codex -d .` — keeps `.bmad-core/` ignored via `.gitignore` for local development.
-  - Codex Web Enabled: `npx bmad-method install -f -i codex-web -d .` — ensures `.bmad-core/` is tracked (not ignored) so it can be committed for Codex Web.
-- For Codex Web, commit both `.bmad-core/` and `AGENTS.md` to the repository.
-- Codex CLI: run `codex` at your project root; reference agents naturally, e.g., “As dev, implement …”.
-- Codex Web: open your repo in Codex and prompt the same way — it reads `AGENTS.md` automatically.
-- Refresh after changes: rerun the appropriate install command (`codex` or `codex-web`) to regenerate the BMAD section inside `AGENTS.md`.
-
-If a `package.json` exists in your project, the installer will add helpful scripts:
-
-- `bmad:refresh` → `bmad-method install -f -i codex`
-- `bmad:list` → `bmad-method list:agents`
-- `bmad:validate` → `bmad-method validate`

+# Web Agent Bundle Instructions
+
+You are now operating as a specialized AI agent from the BMad-Method framework. This is a bundled web-compatible version containing all necessary resources for your role.
+
+## Important Instructions
+
+1. **Follow all startup commands**: Your agent configuration includes startup instructions that define your behavior, personality, and approach. These MUST be followed exactly.
+
+2. **Resource Navigation**: This bundle contains all resources you need. Resources are marked with tags like:
+
+- `==================== START: .bmad-godot-game-dev/folder/filename.md ====================`
+- `==================== END: .bmad-godot-game-dev/folder/filename.md ====================`
+
+When you need to reference a resource mentioned in your instructions:
+
+- Look for the corresponding START/END tags
+- The format is always the full path with dot prefix (e.g., `.bmad-godot-game-dev/personas/analyst.md`, `.bmad-godot-game-dev/tasks/create-story.md`)
+- If a section is specified (e.g., `{root}/tasks/create-story.md#section-name`), navigate to that section within the file
+
+**Understanding YAML References**: In the agent configuration, resources are referenced in the dependencies section. For example:
+
+```yaml
+dependencies:
+  utils:
+    - template-format
+  tasks:
+    - create-story
+```
+
+These references map directly to bundle sections:
+
+- `utils: template-format` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-godot-game-dev/utils/template-format.md ====================`
+- `tasks: create-story` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-godot-game-dev/tasks/create-story.md ====================`
+
+3. **Execution Context**: You are operating in a web environment. All your capabilities and knowledge are contained within this bundle. Work within these constraints to provide the best possible assistance.
+
+4. **Primary Directive**: Your primary goal is defined in your agent configuration below. Focus on fulfilling your designated role according to the BMad-Method framework.

+# Checklist Validation Task
+
+This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
+
+## Available Checklists
+
+If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the .bmad-godot-game-dev/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Initial Assessment**
+   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
+     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
+     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
+     - Load the appropriate checklist from .bmad-godot-game-dev/checklists/
+   - If no checklist specified:
+     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
+     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
+   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
+     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
+     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
+
+2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
+   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
+   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
+
+3. **Checklist Processing**
+
+   If in interactive mode:
+   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
+   - For each section:
+     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
+     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
+     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
+     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
+
+   If in YOLO mode:
+   - Process all sections at once
+   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
+   - Present the complete analysis to the user
+
+4. **Validation Approach**
+
+   For each checklist item:
+   - Read and understand the requirement
+   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
+   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
+   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
+   - Mark items as:
+     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
+     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
+     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
+     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
+
+5. **Section Analysis**
+
+   For each section:
+   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
+   - Identify common themes in failed items
+   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
+   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
+   - Document any user decisions or explanations
+
+6. **Final Report**
+
+   Prepare a summary that includes:
+   - Overall checklist completion status
+   - Pass rates by section
+   - List of failed items with context
+   - Specific recommendations for improvement
+   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
+
+## Checklist Execution Methodology
+
+Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
+
+1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
+2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
+3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
+4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
+
+The LLM will:
+
+- Execute the complete checklist validation
+- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
+- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

+# apply-qa-fixes
+
+Implement fixes based on QA results (gate and assessments) for a specific Godot game story. This task is for the Game Developer agent to systematically consume QA outputs and apply game code/test changes while only updating allowed sections in the story file.
+
+## Purpose
+
+- Read QA outputs for a game story (gate YAML + assessment markdowns)
+- Create a prioritized, deterministic fix plan for game features
+- Apply game code and test changes to close gaps and address issues
+- Update only the allowed story sections for the Game Developer agent
+
+## Inputs
+
+```yaml
+required:
+  - story_id: '{epic}.{story}' # e.g., "2.2"
+  - qa_root: from `.bmad-godot-game-dev/config.yaml` key `qa.qaLocation` (e.g., `docs/project/qa`)
+  - story_root: from `.bmad-godot-game-dev/config.yaml` key `devStoryLocation` (e.g., `docs/project/stories`)
+  - project_root: Godot project root directory (containing project.godot)
+
+optional:
+  - story_title: '{title}' # derive from story H1 if missing
+  - story_slug: '{slug}' # derive from title (lowercase, hyphenated) if missing
+```
+
+## QA Sources to Read
+
+- Gate (YAML): `{qa_root}/gates/{epic}.{story}-*.yml`
+  - If multiple, use the most recent by modified time
+- Assessments (Markdown):
+  - Test Design: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-test-design-*.md`
+  - Traceability: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-trace-*.md`
+  - Risk Profile: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-risk-*.md`
+  - NFR Assessment: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-nfr-*.md`
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Godot 4.x installed and configured
+- Testing frameworks installed:
+  - **GDScript**: GUT (Godot Unit Test) framework installed as addon
+  - **C#**: GoDotTest or GodotTestDriver NuGet packages installed
+- Project builds successfully in Godot Editor
+- Test commands available:
+  - GDScript: `godot --headless --script res://addons/gut/gut_cmdln.gd`
+  - C#: `dotnet test` or `godot --headless --run-tests`
+
+## Process (Do not skip steps)
+
+### 0) Load Core Config & Locate Story
+
+- Read `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` and resolve `qa_root`, `story_root`, and `project_root`
+- Locate story file in `{story_root}/{epic}.{story}.*.md`
+  - HALT if missing and ask for correct story id/path
+
+### 1) Collect QA Findings
+
+- Parse the latest gate YAML:
+  - `gate` (PASS|CONCERNS|FAIL|WAIVED)
+  - `top_issues[]` with `id`, `severity`, `finding`, `suggested_action`
+  - `nfr_validation.*.status` and notes
+  - `trace` coverage summary/gaps
+  - `test_design.coverage_gaps[]`
+  - `risk_summary.recommendations.must_fix[]` (if present)
+- Read any present assessment markdowns and extract explicit gaps/recommendations
+
+### 2) Build Deterministic Fix Plan (Priority Order)
+
+Apply in order, highest priority first:
+
+1. High severity items in `top_issues` (gameplay/performance/stability/maintainability)
+2. NFR statuses: all FAIL must be fixed → then CONCERNS
+3. Test Design `coverage_gaps` (prioritize P0 gameplay scenarios)
+4. Trace uncovered requirements (AC-level, especially gameplay mechanics)
+5. Risk `must_fix` recommendations
+6. Medium severity issues, then low
+
+Guidance:
+
+- Prefer tests closing coverage gaps before/with code changes
+- Keep changes minimal and targeted; follow Godot best practices and project architecture
+- Respect scene organization and node hierarchy
+- Follow GDScript style guide or C# conventions as appropriate
+
+### 3) Apply Changes
+
+- Implement game code fixes per plan:
+  - GDScript: Follow Godot style guide, use signals for decoupling
+  - C#: Follow .NET conventions, use events/delegates appropriately
+- Add missing tests to close coverage gaps:
+  - **GDScript Tests (GUT)**:
+    - Unit tests in `test/unit/` for game logic
+    - Integration tests in `test/integration/` for scene interactions
+    - Use `gut.p()` for parameterized tests
+    - Mock nodes with `double()` and `stub()`
+  - **C# Tests (GoDotTest/GodotTestDriver)**:
+    - Unit tests using xUnit or NUnit patterns
+    - Integration tests for scene and node interactions
+    - Use test fixtures for game state setup
+- Follow Godot patterns:
+  - Autoload/singleton patterns for global game state
+  - Signal-based communication between nodes
+  - Resource files (.tres/.res) for data management
+  - Scene inheritance for reusable components
+
+### 4) Validate
+
+**For GDScript Projects:**
+
+- Run GUT tests: `godot --headless --script res://addons/gut/gut_cmdln.gd -gselect=test/ -gexit`
+- Check for script errors in Godot Editor (Script Editor panel)
+- Validate scene references and node paths
+- Run game in editor to verify no runtime errors
+
+**For C# Projects:**
+
+- Build solution: `dotnet build`
+- Run tests: `dotnet test` or `godot --headless --run-tests`
+- Check for compilation errors
+- Validate no null reference exceptions in gameplay
+
+**For Both:**
+
+- Test gameplay mechanics manually if needed
+- Verify performance (check FPS, memory usage)
+- Iterate until all tests pass and no errors
+
+### 5) Update Story (Allowed Sections ONLY)
+
+CRITICAL: Dev agent is ONLY authorized to update these sections of the story file. Do not modify any other sections (e.g., QA Results, Story, Acceptance Criteria, Dev Notes, Testing):
+
+- Tasks / Subtasks Checkboxes (mark any fix subtask you added as done)
+- Dev Agent Record →
+  - Agent Model Used (if changed)
+  - Debug Log References (test results, Godot console output)
+  - Completion Notes List (what changed, why, how)
+  - File List (all added/modified/deleted files)
+- Change Log (new dated entry describing applied fixes)
+- Status (see Rule below)
+
+Status Rule:
+
+- If gate was PASS and all identified gaps are closed → set `Status: Ready for Done`
+- Otherwise → set `Status: Ready for Review` and notify QA to re-run the review
+
+### 6) Do NOT Edit Gate Files
+
+- Dev does not modify gate YAML. If fixes address issues, request QA to re-run `review-story` to update the gate
+
+## Blocking Conditions
+
+- Missing `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml`
+- Story file not found for `story_id`
+- No QA artifacts found (neither gate nor assessments)
+  - HALT and request QA to generate at least a gate file (or proceed only with clear developer-provided fix list)
+- Godot project file (`project.godot`) not found
+- Testing framework not properly installed (GUT addon missing or NuGet packages not restored)
+
+## Completion Checklist
+
+- Godot project builds without errors
+- All tests pass:
+  - GDScript: GUT tests green
+  - C#: dotnet test successful
+- No script errors in Godot Editor
+- All high severity `top_issues` addressed
+- NFR FAIL → resolved; CONCERNS minimized or documented
+- Coverage gaps closed or explicitly documented with rationale
+- Gameplay features tested and working
+- Story updated (allowed sections only) including File List and Change Log
+- Status set according to Status Rule
+
+## Example: Story 2.2 - Player Movement System
+
+Given gate `docs/project/qa/gates/2.2-*.yml` shows
+
+- `coverage_gaps`: Jump mechanics edge cases untested (AC2)
+- `coverage_gaps`: Input buffering not tested (AC4)
+- `top_issues`: Performance drops when multiple players active
+
+Fix plan:
+
+**GDScript Example:**
+
+- Add GUT test for jump height variation based on button hold time
+- Add test for input buffering during state transitions
+- Optimize player movement script using object pooling for effects
+- Test with `gut.p()` parameterized tests for different player counts
+
+**C# Example:**
+
+- Add GoDotTest unit test for jump physics calculations
+- Add integration test for input system using GodotTestDriver
+- Refactor movement system to use Jobs/Tasks for parallel processing
+- Verify with performance profiler
+
+- Re-run tests and update Dev Agent Record + File List accordingly
+
+## Key Principles
+
+- Deterministic, risk-first prioritization
+- Minimal, maintainable changes following Godot best practices
+- Tests validate gameplay behavior and close gapså
+- Respect Godot's node-based architecture and signal system
+- Maintain clear separation between game logic and presentation
+- Strict adherence to allowed story update areas
+- Gate ownership remains with QA; Game Developer signals readiness via Status
+

+# Create AI Frontend Prompt Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+To generate a masterful, comprehensive, and optimized prompt that can be used with any AI-driven frontend development tool (e.g., Vercel v0, Lovable.ai, or similar) to scaffold or generate significant portions of a frontend application.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec.md`)
+- Completed Frontend Architecture Document (`front-end-architecture`) or a full stack combined architecture such as `architecture.md`
+- Main System Architecture Document (`architecture` - for API contracts and tech stack to give further context)
+
+## Key Activities & Instructions
+
+### 1. Core Prompting Principles
+
+Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code.
+
+- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs.
+- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results.
+- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals.
+- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop.
+
+### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework
+
+To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework.
+
+1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task.
+   - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_
+2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt.
+   - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_
+3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do.
+   - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_
+4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase.
+   - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_
+
+### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt
+
+You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt.
+
+1. **Gather Foundational Context**:
+   - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used.
+2. **Describe the Visuals**:
+   - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots.
+   - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful").
+3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**:
+   - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page.
+4. **Present and Refine**:
+   - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block).
+   - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above.
+   - <important_note>Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready.</important_note>

+
+# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven)
+
+## ⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION NOTICE ⚠️
+
+**THIS IS AN EXECUTABLE WORKFLOW - NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL**
+
+When this task is invoked:
+
+1. **DISABLE ALL EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATIONS** - This workflow requires full user interaction
+2. **MANDATORY STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION** - Each section must be processed sequentially with user feedback
+3. **ELICITATION IS REQUIRED** - When `elicit: true`, you MUST use the 1-9 format and wait for user response
+4. **NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED** - Complete documents cannot be created without following this workflow
+
+**VIOLATION INDICATOR:** If you create a complete document without user interaction, you have violated this workflow.
+
+## Critical: Template Discovery
+
+If a YAML Template has not been provided, list all templates from .bmad-core/templates or ask the user to provide another.
+
+## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format
+
+**When `elicit: true`, this is a HARD STOP requiring user interaction:**
+
+**YOU MUST:**
+
+1. Present section content
+2. Provide detailed rationale (explain trade-offs, assumptions, decisions made)
+3. **STOP and present numbered options 1-9:**
+   - **Option 1:** Always "Proceed to next section"
+   - **Options 2-9:** Select 8 methods from data/elicitation-methods
+   - End with: "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"
+4. **WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE** - Do not proceed until user selects option or provides feedback
+
+**WORKFLOW VIOLATION:** Creating content for elicit=true sections without user interaction violates this task.
+
+**NEVER ask yes/no questions or use any other format.**
+
+## Processing Flow
+
+1. **Parse YAML template** - Load template metadata and sections
+2. **Set preferences** - Show current mode (Interactive), confirm output file
+3. **Process each section:**
+   - Skip if condition unmet
+   - Check agent permissions (owner/editors) - note if section is restricted to specific agents
+   - Draft content using section instruction
+   - Present content + detailed rationale
+   - **IF elicit: true** → MANDATORY 1-9 options format
+   - Save to file if possible
+4. **Continue until complete**
+
+## Detailed Rationale Requirements
+
+When presenting section content, ALWAYS include rationale that explains:
+
+- Trade-offs and choices made (what was chosen over alternatives and why)
+- Key assumptions made during drafting
+- Interesting or questionable decisions that need user attention
+- Areas that might need validation
+
+## Elicitation Results Flow
+
+After user selects elicitation method (2-9):
+
+1. Execute method from data/elicitation-methods
+2. Present results with insights
+3. Offer options:
+   - **1. Apply changes and update section**
+   - **2. Return to elicitation menu**
+   - **3. Ask any questions or engage further with this elicitation**
+
+## Agent Permissions
+
+When processing sections with agent permission fields:
+
+- **owner**: Note which agent role initially creates/populates the section
+- **editors**: List agent roles allowed to modify the section
+- **readonly**: Mark sections that cannot be modified after creation
+
+**For sections with restricted access:**
+
+- Include a note in the generated document indicating the responsible agent
+- Example: "_(This section is owned by dev-agent and can only be modified by dev-agent)_"
+
+## YOLO Mode
+
+User can type `#yolo` to toggle to YOLO mode (process all sections at once).
+
+## CRITICAL REMINDERS
+
+**❌ NEVER:**
+
+- Ask yes/no questions for elicitation
+- Use any format other than 1-9 numbered options
+- Create new elicitation methods
+
+**✅ ALWAYS:**
+
+- Use exact 1-9 format when elicit: true

+# Checklist Validation Task
+
+This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
+
+## Available Checklists
+
+If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the .bmad-godot-game-dev/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Initial Assessment**
+   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
+     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
+     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
+     - Load the appropriate checklist from .bmad-godot-game-dev/checklists/
+   - If no checklist specified:
+     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
+     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
+   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
+     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
+     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
+
+2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
+   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
+   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
+
+3. **Checklist Processing**
+
+   If in interactive mode:
+   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
+   - For each section:
+     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
+     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
+     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
+     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
+
+   If in YOLO mode:
+   - Process all sections at once
+   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
+   - Present the complete analysis to the user
+
+4. **Validation Approach**
+
+   For each checklist item:
+   - Read and understand the requirement
+   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
+   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
+   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
+   - Mark items as:
+     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
+     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
+     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
+     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
+
+5. **Section Analysis**
+
+   For each section:
+   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
+   - Identify common themes in failed items
+   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
+   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
+   - Document any user decisions or explanations
+
+6. **Final Report**
+
+   Prepare a summary that includes:
+   - Overall checklist completion status
+   - Pass rates by section
+   - List of failed items with context
+   - Specific recommendations for improvement
+   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
+
+## Checklist Execution Methodology
+
+Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
+
+1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
+2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
+3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
+4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
+
+The LLM will:
+
+- Execute the complete checklist validation
+- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
+- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

+          **Node Optimization:**
+          - Use scene instancing for repeated UI elements
+          - Hide off-screen Control nodes (visible = false)
+          - Pool dynamic UI elements (popups, tooltips)
+
+          **Rendering Optimization:**
+          - Batch UI draw calls through theme consistency
+          - Use nine-patch rect for scalable backgrounds
+          - Minimize transparent overlays
+
+          **Update Optimization:**
+          - Use signals instead of polling for UI updates
+          - Update UI only when values change
+          - Batch multiple UI updates in single frame
+
+          **Language Choice:**
+          - GDScript for simple UI logic (with static typing)
+          - C# for complex UI systems (inventory, crafting)

+# Codebase Flattener Tool
+
+The BMAD-METHOD™ includes a powerful codebase flattener tool designed to prepare your project files for AI model consumption when uploading to web AI tools. This tool aggregates your entire codebase into a single XML file, making it easy to share your project context with AI assistants for analysis, debugging, or development assistance.
+
+## Features
+
+- **AI-Optimized Output**: Generates clean XML format specifically designed for AI model consumption
+- **Smart Filtering**: Automatically respects `.gitignore` patterns to exclude unnecessary files, plus optional project-level `.bmad-flattenignore` for additional exclusions if planning to flatten an existing repository for external update and analysis
+- **Binary File Detection**: Intelligently identifies and excludes binary files, focusing on source code
+- **Progress Tracking**: Real-time progress indicators and comprehensive completion statistics
+- **Flexible Output**: Customizable output file location and naming
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Basic usage - creates flattened-codebase.xml in current directory
+npx bmad-method flatten
+
+# Specify custom input directory
+npx bmad-method flatten --input /path/to/source/directory
+npx bmad-method flatten -i /path/to/source/directory
+
+# Specify custom output file
+npx bmad-method flatten --output my-project.xml
+npx bmad-method flatten -o /path/to/output/codebase.xml
+
+# Combine input and output options
+npx bmad-method flatten --input /path/to/source --output /path/to/output/codebase.xml
+```
+
+## Example Output
+
+The tool will display progress and provide a comprehensive summary:
+
+```text
+📊 Completion Summary:
+✅ Successfully processed 156 files into flattened-codebase.xml
+📁 Output file: /path/to/your/project/flattened-codebase.xml
+📏 Total source size: 2.3 MB
+📄 Generated XML size: 2.1 MB
+📝 Total lines of code: 15,847
+🔢 Estimated tokens: 542,891
+📊 File breakdown: 142 text, 14 binary, 0 errors
+```
+
+The generated XML file contains your project's text-based source files in a structured format that AI models can easily parse and understand, making it perfect for code reviews, architecture discussions, or getting AI assistance with your BMAD-METHOD™ projects.
+
+## Advanced Usage & Options
+
+- CLI options
+  - `-i, --input <path>`: Directory to flatten. Default: current working directory or auto-detected project root when run interactively.
+  - `-o, --output <path>`: Output file path. Default: `flattened-codebase.xml` in the chosen directory.
+- Interactive mode
+  - If you do not pass `--input` and `--output` and the terminal is interactive (TTY), the tool will attempt to detect your project root (by looking for markers like `.git`, `package.json`, etc.) and prompt you to confirm or override the paths.
+  - In non-interactive contexts (e.g., CI), it will prefer the detected root silently; otherwise it falls back to the current directory and default filename.
+- File discovery and ignoring
+  - Uses `git ls-files` when inside a git repository for speed and correctness; otherwise falls back to a glob-based scan.
+  - Applies your `.gitignore` plus a curated set of default ignore patterns (e.g., `node_modules`, build outputs, caches, logs, IDE folders, lockfiles, large media/binaries, `.env*`, and previously generated XML outputs).
+  - Supports an optional `.bmad-flattenignore` file at the project root for additional ignore patterns (gitignore-style). If present, its rules are applied after `.gitignore` and the defaults.
+
+## `.bmad-flattenignore` example
+
+Create a `.bmad-flattenignore` file in the root of your project to exclude files that must remain in git but should not be included in the flattened XML:
+
+```text
+seeds/**
+scripts/private/**
+**/*.snap
+```
+
+- Binary handling
+  - Binary files are detected and excluded from the XML content. They are counted in the final summary but not embedded in the output.
+- XML format and safety
+  - UTF-8 encoded file with root element `<files>`.
+  - Each text file is emitted as a `<file path="relative/path">` element whose content is wrapped in `<![CDATA[ ... ]]>`.
+  - The tool safely handles occurrences of `]]>` inside content by splitting the CDATA to preserve correctness.
+  - File contents are preserved as-is and indented for readability inside the XML.
+- Performance
+  - Concurrency is selected automatically based on your CPU and workload size. No configuration required.
+  - Running inside a git repo improves discovery performance.
+
+## Minimal XML example
+
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<files>
+  <file path="src/index.js"><![CDATA[
+    // your source content
+  ]]></file>
+</files>

+### OpenCode
+
+BMAD integrates with OpenCode via a project-level `opencode.jsonc`/`opencode.json` (JSON-only, no Markdown fallback).
+
+- Installation:
+  - Run `npx bmad-method install` and choose `OpenCode` in the IDE list.
+  - The installer will detect an existing `opencode.jsonc`/`opencode.json` or create a minimal `opencode.jsonc` if missing.
+  - It will:
+    - Ensure `instructions` includes `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` (and each selected expansion pack’s `config.yaml`).
+    - Merge BMAD agents and commands using file references (`{file:./.bmad-core/...}`), idempotently.
+    - Preserve other top-level fields and user-defined entries.
+
+- Prefixes and collisions:
+  - You can opt-in to prefix agent keys with `bmad-` and command keys with `bmad:tasks:` to avoid name collisions.
+  - If a key already exists and is not BMAD-managed, the installer will skip it and suggest enabling prefixes.
+
+- What gets added:
+  - `instructions`: `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` plus any selected expansion pack `config.yaml` files.
+  - `agent`: BMAD agents from core and selected packs.
+    - `prompt`: `{file:./.bmad-core/agents/<id>.md}` (or pack path)
+    - `mode`: `primary` for orchestrators, otherwise `all`
+    - `tools`: `{ write: true, edit: true, bash: true }`
+    - `description`: extracted from the agent’s `whenToUse`
+  - `command`: BMAD tasks from core and selected packs.
+    - `template`: `{file:./.bmad-core/tasks/<id>.md}` (or pack path)
+    - `description`: extracted from the task’s “Purpose” section
+
+- Selected Packages Only:
+  - The installer includes agents and tasks only from the packages you selected in the earlier step (core and chosen packs).
+
+- Refresh after changes:
+  - Re-run:
+    ```bash
+    npx bmad-method install -f -i opencode
+    ```
+  - The installer safely updates entries without duplication and preserves your custom fields and comments.
+
+- Optional convenience script:
+  - You can add a script to your project’s `package.json` for quick refreshes:
+    ```json
+    {
+      "scripts": {
+        "bmad:opencode": "bmad-method install -f -i opencode"

 # Working in the Brownfield: A Complete Guide
 
-> **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Use Gemini Web or Gemini CLI for Brownfield Documentation Generation!**
->
-> Gemini Web's 1M+ token context window or Gemini CLI (when it's working) can analyze your ENTIRE codebase, or critical sections of it, all at once (obviously within reason):
->
-> - Upload via GitHub URL or use gemini cli in the project folder
-> - If working in the web: use `npx bmad-method flatten` to flatten your project into a single file, then upload that file to your web agent.
+## Critical Tip
+
+Regardless of what you plan for your existing project you want to start agentic coding with, producing contextual artifacts for agents is of the highest importance.
+
+If using Claude Code - it is recommended to use the document-project task with the architect to systematically produce important key artifacts for your codebase.
+
+Optionally you can product context information and understanding for your repo utilizing web agents like Gemini. If its already in github, you can provide the project URL in gemini and use the agents to help analyze or document the project with the team fullstack or the architect specific gem.
+
+If your project is too large, you can also flatten your codebase - which can make it easier to upload or use with some tools. You can read more about the optional tool in the [Flattener Guide](./flattener.md)

+
+**We will be following the user-guide in most cases, and modifications will be made for expansion pack specific usage**
+First, here is the full standard Greenfield Planning + Execution Workflow.
+
+### The Planning Workflow (Web UI or Powerful IDE Agents)
+
+Before development begins, BMad follows a structured planning workflow that's ideally done in web UI for cost efficiency:
+

+```
+
+#### Web UI to IDE Transition
+
+**Critical Transition Point**: Once the PO confirms document alignment, you must switch from web UI to IDE to begin the development workflow:
+
+1. **Copy Documents to Project**: Ensure `docs/gdd.md` and `docs/gamearchitecture.md` are in your project's docs folder (or a custom location you can specify during installation)
+2. **Switch to IDE**: Open your project in your preferred Agentic IDE
+3. **Document Sharding**: Use the Game-Designer to shard the GDD and then the game-architecht to shard the gamearchitecture
+4. **Begin Development**: Start the Core Development Cycle that follows
+
+### The Core Development Cycle (IDE)
+
+Once planning is complete and documents are sharded, BMad follows a structured development workflow:

+
+## Installation
+
+### Optional
+
+If you want to do the planning in the Web with Claude (Sonnet 4 or Opus), Gemini Gem (2.5 Pro), or Custom GPT's:
+
+1. Navigate to `dist/expansion-packs/bmad-godot-game-dev/teams`
+2. Copy `godot-game-dev.txt` content
+3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
+4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
+5. Type `/help` to see available commands
+
+### IDE Project Setup
+
+```bash
+# Interactive installation (recommended)
+npx bmad-method install
+```
+
+## Special Agents
+
+There are two bmad agents - in the future they will be consolidated into the single bmad-master.
+
+### BMad-Master
+
+This agent can do any task or command that all other agents can do, aside from actual story implementation. Additionally, this agent can help explain the BMad Method when in the web by accessing the knowledge base and explaining anything to you about the process.
+
+If you dont want to bother switching between different agents aside from the dev, this is the agent for you.
+
+### BMad-Orchestrator
+
+This agent should NOT be used within the IDE, it is a heavy weight special purpose agent that utilizes a lot of context and can morph into any other agent. This exists solely to facilitate the team's within the web bundles. If you use a web bundle you will be greeted by the BMad Orchestrator.
+
+### How Agents Work
+
+#### Dependencies System
+
+Each agent has a YAML section that defines its dependencies:
+
+```yaml
+dependencies:
+  templates:
+    - prd-template.md
+    - user-story-template.md
+  tasks:
+    - create-doc.md
+    - shard-doc.md
+  data:
+    - bmad-kb.md
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+
+- Agents only load resources they need (lean context)
+- Dependencies are automatically resolved during bundling
+- Resources are shared across agents to maintain consistency
+
+#### Agent Interaction
+
+**In IDE:**
+
+```bash
+# Some Ide's, like Cursor or Windsurf for example, utilize manual rules so interaction is done with the '@' symbol
+@game-designer Create a GDD for a task management app
+@game-architect Design the game architecture
+@game-developer Implement the user authentication
+
+# Some, like Claude Code use slash commands instead
+/game-sm Create user stories
+/game-developer Fix the login bug
+```
+
+#### Interactive Modes
+
+- **Incremental Mode**: Step-by-step with user input
+- **YOLO Mode**: Rapid generation with minimal interaction
+
+## IDE Integration
+
+### IDE Best Practices
+
+- **Context Management**: Keep relevant files only in context, keep files as lean and focused as necessary
+- **Agent Selection**: Use appropriate agent for task
+- **Iterative Development**: Work in small, focused tasks
+- **File Organization**: Maintain clean project structure
+
+## Technical Preferences System
+
+BMad includes a personalization system through the `technical-preferences.md` file located in `.bmad-godot-game-dev/data/` - this can help bias the PM and Architect to recommend your preferences for design patterns, technology selection, or anything else you would like to put in here.
+
+### Using with Web Bundles
+
+When creating custom web bundles or uploading to AI platforms, include your `technical-preferences.md` content to ensure agents have your preferences from the start of any conversation.
+
+## Core Configuration
+
+The `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` and for this expansion-pack the `.bmad-godot-game-dev/config.yaml` files are a critical config that enables BMad to work seamlessly with differing project structures, more options will be made available in the future. Currently the most important is the devLoadAlwaysFiles list section in the yaml.
+
+For the expansion pack ensure you either copy the core-config.yaml.example from the expansion pack directory to replace your .bmad-core/core-config.yaml and copy it to the .bmad-unit-game-dev/ expansion pack as core-config.yaml and at the very least update the gameDimension variable to the dimension your game will be in.
+
+### Developer Context Files
+
+Define which files the dev agent should always load:
+
+```yaml
+devLoadAlwaysFiles:
+  - docs/architecture/##-coding-standards.md
+  - docs/architecture/##-tech-stack.md
+  - docs/architecture/##-godot-project-structure.md
+```
+
+You will want to verify from sharding your architecture that these documents exist (replace ## with the prefix generated in sharding), that they are as lean as possible, and contain exactly the information you want your dev agent to ALWAYS load into it's context. These are the rules the agent will follow.
+
+As your project grows and the code starts to build consistent patterns, coding standards should be reduced to just the items that the agent makes mistakes at still - must with the better models, they will look at surrounding code in files and not need a rule from that file to guide them.

+
+ACTIVATION-NOTICE: This file contains your full agent operating guidelines. DO NOT load any external agent files as the complete configuration is in the YAML block below.
+
+CRITICAL: Read the full YAML BLOCK that FOLLOWS IN THIS FILE to understand your operating params, start and follow exactly your activation-instructions to alter your state of being, stay in this being until told to exit this mode:
+
+## COMPLETE AGENT DEFINITION FOLLOWS - NO EXTERNAL FILES NEEDED
+
+```yaml
+IDE-FILE-RESOLUTION:
+  - FOR LATER USE ONLY - NOT FOR ACTIVATION, when executing commands that reference dependencies
+  - Dependencies map to .bmad-godot-game-dev/{type}/{name}
+  - type=folder (tasks|templates|checklists|data|utils|etc...), name=file-name
+  - Example: create-doc.md → .bmad-godot-game-dev/tasks/create-doc.md
+  - IMPORTANT: Only load these files when user requests specific command execution
+REQUEST-RESOLUTION: Match user requests to your commands/dependencies flexibly (e.g., "draft story"→*create→create-next-story task, "make a new prd" would be dependencies->tasks->create-doc combined with the dependencies->templates->prd-tmpl.md), ALWAYS ask for clarification if no clear match.
+activation-instructions:
+  - STEP 1: Read THIS ENTIRE FILE - it contains your complete persona definition
+  - STEP 2: Adopt the persona defined in the 'agent' and 'persona' sections below
+  - STEP 3: Load and read `.bmad-godot-game-dev/config.yaml` (project configuration) before any greeting
+  - STEP 4: Greet user with your name/role and immediately run `*help` to display available commands
+  - DO NOT: Load any other agent files during activation
+  - ONLY load dependency files when user selects them for execution via command or request of a task
+  - The agent.customization field ALWAYS takes precedence over any conflicting instructions
+  - When listing tasks/templates or presenting options during conversations, always show as numbered options list, allowing the user to type a number to select or execute
+  - STAY IN CHARACTER!
+  - Announce: Introduce yourself as the BMad Orchestrator, explain you can coordinate agents and workflows
+  - IMPORTANT: Tell users that all commands start with * (e.g., `*help`, `*agent`, `*workflow`)
+  - Assess user goal against available agents and workflows in this bundle
+  - If clear match to an agent's expertise, suggest transformation with *agent command
+  - If project-oriented, suggest *workflow-guidance to explore options
+  - Load resources only when needed - never pre-load (Exception: Read `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` during activation)
+  - CRITICAL: On activation, ONLY greet user, auto-run `*help`, and then HALT to await user requested assistance or given commands. ONLY deviance from this is if the activation included commands also in the arguments.

+  role: Expert Godot Game Developer & Performance Optimization Specialist (GDScript and C#)
+  style: Relentlessly performance-focused, data-driven, pragmatic, test-first development
+  identity: Technical expert channeling John Carmack's optimization philosophy - transforms game designs into blazingly fast Godot applications
+  focus: Test-driven development, performance-first implementation, cache-friendly code, minimal allocations, frame-perfect execution
+core_principles:
+  - CRITICAL: Story has ALL info you will need aside from what you loaded during the startup commands. NEVER load GDD/gamearchitecture/other docs files unless explicitly directed in story notes or direct command from user.
+  - CRITICAL: ONLY update story file Dev Agent Record sections (checkboxes/Debug Log/Completion Notes/Change Log)
+  - CRITICAL: FOLLOW THE develop-story command when the user tells you to implement the story
+  - Test-Driven Development - Write failing tests first, then implement minimal code to pass, refactor for performance
+  - Carmack's Law - "Focus on what matters: framerate and responsiveness." Profile first, optimize hotspots, measure everything
+  - Performance by Default - Every allocation matters, every frame counts, optimize for worst-case scenarios
+  - The Godot Way - Leverage node system, signals, scenes, and resources. Use _ready(), _process(), _physics_process() wisely
+  - GDScript Performance - Static typing always, cached node references, avoid dynamic lookups in loops
+  - C# for Heavy Lifting - Use C# for compute-intensive systems, complex algorithms, and when GDScript profiling shows bottlenecks
+  - Memory Management - Object pooling by default, reuse arrays, minimize GC pressure, profile allocations
+  - Data-Oriented Design - Use Resources for data-driven design, separate data from logic, optimize cache coherency
+  - Test Everything - Unit tests for logic, integration tests for systems, performance benchmarks for critical paths
+  - Numbered Options - Always use numbered lists when presenting choices to the user
+performance_philosophy:
+  carmack_principles:
+    - Measure, don't guess - Profile everything, trust only data
+    - Premature optimization is fine if you know what you're doing - Apply known patterns from day one
+    - The best code is no code - Simplicity beats cleverness
+    - Look for cache misses, not instruction counts - Memory access patterns matter most
+    - 60 FPS is the minimum, not the target - Design for headroom

+# Game Architect Solution Validation Checklist (Godot)
+
+This checklist serves as a comprehensive framework for the Game Architect to validate the technical design and architecture for Godot game development. The Game Architect should systematically work through each item, ensuring the game architecture is robust, scalable, performant, and aligned with the Game Design Document requirements while leveraging Godot's strengths.
+
+[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - REQUIRED ARTIFACTS
+
+Before proceeding with this checklist, ensure you have access to:
+
+1. architecture.md - The primary game architecture document (check docs/architecture.md)
+2. game-design-doc.md - Game Design Document for game requirements alignment (check docs/game-design-doc.md)
+3. Any system diagrams referenced in the architecture
+4. Godot project structure documentation
+5. Game balance and configuration specifications
+6. Platform target specifications
+7. Performance profiling data if available
+
+IMPORTANT: If any required documents are missing or inaccessible, immediately ask the user for their location or content before proceeding.
+
+GAME PROJECT TYPE DETECTION:
+First, determine the game project type by checking:
+
+- Is this a 2D or 3D Godot game project?
+- What platforms are targeted (mobile, desktop, web, console)?
+- What are the core game mechanics from the GDD?
+- Are there specific performance requirements (60 FPS, mobile constraints)?
+- Will the project use GDScript, C#, or both?
+
+VALIDATION APPROACH:
+For each section, you must:
+
+1. Deep Analysis - Don't just check boxes, thoroughly analyze each item against the provided documentation
+2. Evidence-Based - Cite specific sections or quotes from the documents when validating
+3. Critical Thinking - Question assumptions and identify gaps, not just confirm what's present
+4. Performance Focus - Consider frame rate impact, draw calls, and memory usage for every architectural decision
+5. Language Balance - Evaluate whether GDScript vs C# choices are appropriate for each system
+
+EXECUTION MODE:
+Ask the user if they want to work through the checklist:
+

+# Game Development Change Navigation Checklist (Godot)
+
+**Purpose:** To systematically guide the Game SM agent and user through analysis and planning when a significant change (performance issue, platform constraint, technical blocker, gameplay feedback) is identified during Godot game development.
+
+**Instructions:** Review each item with the user. Mark `[x]` for completed/confirmed, `[N/A]` if not applicable, or add notes for discussion points.
+
+[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - GAME CHANGE NAVIGATION
+
+Changes during game development are common - performance issues, platform constraints, gameplay feedback, and technical limitations are part of the process.
+
+Before proceeding, understand:
+
+1. This checklist is for SIGNIFICANT changes affecting game architecture or features
+2. Minor tweaks (shader adjustments, UI positioning) don't require this process
+3. The goal is to maintain playability while adapting to technical realities
+4. Performance (60+ FPS) and player experience are paramount
+5. Consider both GDScript and C# implementation options
+
+Required context:
+
+- The triggering issue (performance metrics, crash logs, feedback)
+- Current development state (implemented features, current sprint)
+- Access to GDD, technical specs, and performance budgets
+- Understanding of remaining features and milestones
+- Current language usage (GDScript vs C#) per system
+
+APPROACH:
+This is an interactive process. Discuss performance implications, platform constraints, and player impact. The user makes final decisions, but provide expert Godot/game dev guidance.
+
+REMEMBER: Game development is iterative. Changes often lead to better gameplay and performance.]]
+
+---
+
+## 1. Understand the Trigger & Context
+
+[[LLM: Start by understanding the game-specific issue. Ask technical questions:
+
+- What performance metrics triggered this? (FPS, frame time, memory)
+- Is this platform-specific or universal?
+- Can we reproduce it consistently?
+- What Godot profiler data do we have?
+- Is this a GDScript performance issue that C# could solve?
+- Are we hitting Godot engine limits?
+
+Focus on measurable impacts and technical specifics.]]
+
+- [ ] **Identify Triggering Element:** Clearly identify the game feature/system revealing the issue.
+- [ ] **Define the Issue:** Articulate the core problem precisely.
+  - [ ] Performance bottleneck (CPU/GPU/Memory)?
+  - [ ] Draw call or batching issue?
+  - [ ] Platform-specific limitation?
+  - [ ] Godot engine constraint?
+  - [ ] GDScript vs C# performance difference?
+  - [ ] Node tree complexity issue?
+  - [ ] Signal overhead problem?
+  - [ ] Physics engine bottleneck?
+  - [ ] Gameplay/balance issue from playtesting?
+  - [ ] Asset import or resource loading problem?
+  - [ ] Export template or platform issue?
+- [ ] **Assess Performance Impact:** Document specific metrics (current FPS, target 60+ FPS, frame time ms, draw calls, memory usage).
+- [ ] **Gather Technical Evidence:** Note Godot profiler data, performance monitor stats, platform test results, player feedback.
+
+## 2. Game Feature Impact Assessment
+
+[[LLM: Game features are interconnected in Godot's node system. Evaluate systematically:
+
+1. Can we optimize the current feature without changing gameplay?
+2. Should this system move from GDScript to C#?
+3. Do dependent scenes/nodes need adjustment?
+4. Are there Godot-specific optimizations available?
+5. Does this affect our performance budget allocation?
+
+Consider both technical and gameplay impacts.]]
+
+- [ ] **Analyze Current Sprint Features:**
+  - [ ] Can the current feature be optimized?
+    - [ ] Object pooling for frequently instantiated nodes?
+    - [ ] LOD system implementation?
+    - [ ] Draw call batching improvements?
+    - [ ] Move hot code from GDScript to C#?
+    - [ ] Static typing in GDScript for performance?
+  - [ ] Does it need gameplay simplification?

+# BMad Knowledge Base - Godot Game Development
+
+## Overview
+
+This is the game development expansion of BMad-Method (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-driven Development), specializing in creating 2D and 3D games using Godot Engine with GDScript and C#. The system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments, specifically optimized for Godot game development workflows.
+
+### Key Features for Game Development
+

+- **Godot-Optimized Build System**: Automated dependency resolution for game assets and scenes
+- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and game development IDEs
+- **Game Development Resources**: Specialized templates, tasks, and checklists for Godot games
+- **Performance-First Approach**: Built-in optimization patterns for cross-platform game deployment (60+ FPS target)
+- **TDD Enforcement**: Test-driven development with GUT (GDScript) and GoDotTest (C#)
+
+### Game Development Focus
+
+- **Target Engine**: Godot 4.x (or 3.x LTS) with GDScript and C#/.NET support
+- **Platform Strategy**: Cross-platform (Desktop, Mobile, Web, Console) with 2D/3D support
+- **Development Approach**: Agile story-driven development with TDD and performance focus
+- **Performance Target**: 60+ FPS minimum on target devices (following Carmack's principles)
+- **Architecture**: Node-based architecture using Godot's scene system and signals
+- **Language Strategy**: GDScript for rapid iteration, C# for performance-critical systems
+
+### When to Use BMad for Game Development
+
+- **New Game Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end game development from concept to deployment
+- **Existing Game Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions, level expansions, and gameplay enhancements
+- **Game Team Collaboration**: Multiple specialized roles working together on game features
+- **Game Quality Assurance**: Structured testing with TDD, performance validation, and gameplay balance
+- **Game Documentation**: Professional Game Design Documents, technical architecture, user stories
+
+## How BMad Works for Game Development
+
+### The Core Method
+
+BMad transforms you into a "Player Experience CEO" - directing a team of specialized game development AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how:
+
+1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide game vision and creative decisions; agents handle implementation details
+2. **Specialized Game Agents**: Each agent masters one game development role (Designer, Developer, Scrum Master, QA)
+3. **Game-Focused Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from game concept to deployed Godot game
+4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective for game development
+
+### The Two-Phase Game Development Approach
+
+#### Phase 1: Game Design & Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective)
+
+- Use large context windows for comprehensive game design
+- Generate complete Game Design Documents and technical architecture
+- Leverage multiple agents for creative brainstorming and mechanics refinement
+- Create once, use throughout game development
+
+#### Phase 2: Game Development (IDE - Implementation)
+
+- Shard game design documents into manageable pieces
+- Execute focused SM → Dev cycles for game features
+- One game story at a time, sequential progress
+- Real-time Godot operations, GDScript/C# coding, and game testing
+
+### The Game Development Loop
+
+```text
+1. Game SM Agent (New Chat) → Creates next game story from sharded docs
+2. You → Review and approve game story
+3. Game Dev Agent (New Chat) → Implements approved game feature in Godot (TDD-first)
+4. QA Agent (New Chat) → Reviews code, enforces TDD, validates performance
+5. You → Verify game feature completion and 60+ FPS
+6. Repeat until game epic complete
+```
+
+### Why This Works for Games
+
+- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance for complex game logic
+- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality game features
+- **Incremental Progress**: Small game stories = manageable complexity
+- **Player-Focused Oversight**: You validate each game feature = quality control
+- **Design-Driven**: Game specs guide everything = consistent player experience
+- **Performance-First**: Every decision validated against 60+ FPS target
+
+### Core Game Development Philosophy
+
+#### Player-First Development
+
+You are developing games as a "Player Experience CEO" - thinking like a game director with unlimited creative resources and a singular vision for player enjoyment.
+
+#### Game Development Principles
+
+1. **MAXIMIZE_PLAYER_ENGAGEMENT**: Push the AI to create compelling gameplay. Challenge mechanics and iterate.
+2. **PERFORMANCE_IS_KING**: 60+ FPS is the minimum, not the target. Profile everything.
+3. **TDD_MANDATORY**: Tests written first, no exceptions. GUT for GDScript, GoDotTest for C#.
+4. **GAMEPLAY_QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of fun. Review all game features.
+5. **CREATIVE_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level game vision and ensure design alignment.
+6. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit game mechanics. Game development is not linear.
+7. **CLEAR_GAME_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise game requirements lead to better implementations.
+8. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good game design docs lead to good game features.
+9. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test core mechanics, then expand and polish.
+10. **EMBRACE_CREATIVE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome game development challenges.
+
+## Getting Started with Game Development
+
+### Quick Start Options for Game Development
+
+#### Option 1: Web UI for Game Design
+
+**Best for**: Game designers who want to start with comprehensive planning
+
+1. Navigate to `dist/teams/` (after building)
+2. Copy `godot-game-team.txt` content
+3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
+4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
+5. Type `/help` to see available game development commands
+
+#### Option 2: IDE Integration for Game Development
+
+**Best for**: Godot developers using Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Trae, Cline, Roo Code, Github Copilot
+
+```bash
+# Interactive installation (recommended)
+npx bmad-method install
+# Select the bmad-godot-game-dev expansion pack when prompted
+```
+
+**Installation Steps for Game Development**:
+
+- Choose "Install expansion pack" when prompted
+- Select "bmad-godot-game-dev" from the list
+- Select your IDE from supported options:
+  - **Cursor**: Native AI integration with Godot support
+  - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE
+  - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities
+  - **Trae**: Built-in AI capabilities
+  - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features
+  - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support
+  - **GitHub Copilot**: VS Code extension with AI peer programming assistant
+
+**Verify Game Development Installation**:
+
+- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all core agents
+- `.bmad-godot-game-dev/` folder with game development agents
+- IDE-specific integration files created
+- Game development agents available with `/BmadG` prefix
+
+### Environment Selection Guide for Game Development
+
+**Use Web UI for**:
+
+- Game design document creation and brainstorming
+- Cost-effective comprehensive game planning (especially with Gemini)
+- Multi-agent game design consultation
+- Creative ideation and mechanics refinement
+
+**Use IDE for**:
+
+- Godot project development and GDScript/C# coding
+- Scene operations and node hierarchy management
+- Game story management and implementation workflow
+- Godot testing with GUT/GoDotTest, profiling, and debugging
+
+**Cost-Saving Tip for Game Development**: Create large game design documents in web UI, then copy to `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your Godot project before switching to IDE for development.
+
+### IDE-Only Game Development Workflow Considerations
+
+**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the game development tradeoffs:
+
+**Pros of IDE-Only Game Development**:
+
+- Single environment workflow from design to Godot deployment
+- Direct Godot project operations from start
+- No copy/paste between environments
+- Immediate Godot project integration
+
+**Cons of IDE-Only Game Development**:
+
+- Higher token costs for large game design document creation
+- Smaller context windows for comprehensive game planning
+- May hit limits during creative brainstorming phases
+- Less cost-effective for extensive game design iteration
+- **Note**: Gemini CLI with Gemini Pro's 1m context window, for the planning phase, makes IDE-Only Game Development feasible
+
+**CRITICAL RULE for Game Development**:
+
+- **ALWAYS use Game SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master or bmad-orchestrator
+- **ALWAYS use Game Dev agent for Godot implementation** - Never use bmad-master or bmad-orchestrator
+- **Why this matters**: Game SM and Game Dev agents are specifically optimized for Godot workflows
+- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for design, switch to Game SM → Game Dev for implementation
+
+## Core Configuration for Game Development (core-config.yaml)
+
+**New in V4**: The `expansion-packs/bmad-godot-game-dev/core-config.yaml` file enables BMad to work seamlessly with any Godot project structure, providing maximum flexibility for game development.
+
+### Game Development Configuration
+
+The expansion pack follows the standard BMad configuration patterns. Copy your core-config.yaml file to expansion-packs/bmad-godot-game-dev/ and add Game-specific configurations to your project's `core-config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml

+```
+
+## Complete Game Development Workflow
+
+### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini for Game Design!)
+
+**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context for game brainstorming:**
+
+**For All Game Projects**:
+
+1. **Game Concept Brainstorming**: `/bmadg/game-designer` - Use `*game-design-brainstorming` task
+2. **Game Brief**: Create foundation game document using `game-brief-tmpl`
+3. **Game Design Document Creation**: `/bmadg/game-designer` - Use `game-design-doc-tmpl` for comprehensive game requirements
+4. **Game Architecture Design**: `/bmadg/game-architect` - Use `game-architecture-tmpl` for Godot technical foundation
+5. **Level Design Framework**: `/bmadg/game-designer` - Use `level-design-doc-tmpl` for level structure planning
+6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to Godot project as `docs/game-design-doc.md`, `docs/game-brief.md`, `docs/level-design.md` and `docs/architecture.md`
+
+#### Example Game Planning Prompts
+
+**For Game Design Document Creation**:
+
+```text
+"I want to build a [genre] 2D game in Godot that [core gameplay].
+Help me brainstorm mechanics and create a comprehensive Game Design Document."
+```
+
+**For Game Architecture Design**:
+
+```text
+"Based on this Game Design Document, design a scalable Godot architecture
+that can handle [specific game requirements] with 60+ FPS performance.
+Consider both GDScript and C# for appropriate systems."
+```
+
+### Critical Transition: Web UI to Godot IDE
+
+**Once game planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for Godot development:**
+
+- **Why**: Godot development workflow requires scene operations, GDScript/C# coding, and real-time testing
+- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large game design creation; IDE is optimized for Godot development
+- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your Godot project
+
+### Godot IDE Development Workflow
+
+**Prerequisites**: Game planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder of Godot project
+
+1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP for Game Development):
+   - Documents created by Game Designer/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development
+   - Use core BMad agents or tools to shard:
+     a) **Manual**: Use core BMad `shard-doc` task if available
+     b) **Agent**: Ask core `@bmad-master` agent to shard documents
+   - Shards `docs/game-design-doc.md` → `docs/game-design/` folder
+   - Shards `docs/architecture.md` → `docs/architecture/` folder
+   - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files to Godot is painful!
+
+2. **Verify Sharded Game Content**:
+   - At least one `feature-n.md` file in `docs/game-design/` with game stories in development order
+   - Godot system documents and coding standards for game dev agent reference
+   - Sharded docs for Game SM agent story creation
+
+Resulting Godot Project Folder Structure:
+
+- `docs/game-design/` - Broken down game design sections
+- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down Godot architecture sections
+- `docs/game-stories/` - Generated game development stories
+
+3. **Game Development Cycle** (Sequential, one game story at a time):
+
+   **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT for Godot Development**:
+   - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows
+   - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for Game SM story creation
+   - **ALWAYS start new chat between Game SM, Game Dev, and QA work**
+
+   **Step 1 - Game Story Creation**:
+   - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** → Select powerful model → `/bmadgd/game-sm` → `*draft`
+   - Game SM executes create-game-story task using `game-story-tmpl`
+   - Review generated story in `docs/game-stories/`
+   - _Optional_ - Use `/bmadg/game-po` -> `*validate-story-draft (story)` to confirm alignment
+   - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved"
+
+   **Step 2 - Godot Game Story Implementation (TDD)**:
+   - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** → `/bmadg/game-developer`
+   - Agent asks which game story to implement
+   - Include story file content to save game dev agent lookup time
+   - **CRITICAL**: Game Dev writes tests FIRST (GUT/GoDotTest)
+   - Game Dev implements to make tests pass
+   - Game Dev maintains File List of all Godot/GDScript/C# changes
+   - Game Dev validates 60+ FPS performance
+   - Game Dev marks story as "Ready for Review" when complete with all tests passing
+
+   **Step 3 - Game QA Review**:
+   - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** → `/bmadg/game-qa` → execute review-story task
+   - QA enforces TDD compliance (tests written first)
+   - QA validates 60+ FPS performance
+   - QA can refactor and improve Godot code directly
+   - QA appends results to story's QA Results section
+   - If approved: Status → "Done"
+   - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for game dev
+
+   **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue Game SM → Game Dev → QA cycle until all game feature stories complete
+
+**Important**: Only 1 game story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all game feature stories complete.
+
+### Game Story Status Tracking Workflow
+
+Game stories progress through defined statuses:
+
+- **Draft** → **Approved** → **InProgress** → **Ready for Review** → **Done**
+
+Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding.
+
+### Game Development Workflow Types
+
+#### Greenfield Game Development
+
+- Game concept brainstorming and mechanics design
+- Game design requirements and feature definition
+- Godot system architecture and technical design
+- Game development execution with TDD
+- Game testing, performance optimization (60+ FPS), and deployment
+
+#### Brownfield Game Enhancement (Existing Godot Projects)
+
+**Key Concept**: Brownfield game development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing Godot project for AI agents to understand game mechanics, node patterns, and technical constraints.
+
+**Brownfield Game Enhancement Workflow**:
+
+1. **Upload Godot project to Web UI** (GitHub URL, files, or zip)
+2. **Create adapted Game Design Document**: `/bmadg/game-designer` - Modify `game-design-doc-tmpl` to include:
+   - Analysis of existing scene structure
+   - Integration points for new features
+   - Save game compatibility requirements
+   - Risk assessment for changes
+
+3. **Game Architecture Planning**:
+   - Use `/bmadg/game-architect` with `game-architecture-tmpl`
+   - Focus on how new features integrate with existing Godot systems
+   - Plan for gradual rollout and testing
+
+4. **Story Creation for Enhancements**:
+   - Use `/bmadg/game-sm` with `*create-game-story`
+   - Stories should explicitly reference existing scenes/scripts to modify
+   - Include integration testing requirements
+
+**Critical Success Factors for Game Development**:
+
+1. **Game Documentation First**: Always document existing code thoroughly before making changes
+2. **Godot Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant scenes and scripts
+3. **Gameplay Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes to game mechanics
+4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and extensive game testing
+5. **Performance Validation**: Every change must maintain 60+ FPS
+
+## Document Creation Best Practices for Game Development
+
+### Required File Naming for Game Framework Integration
+
+- `docs/game-design-doc.md` - Game Design Document
+- `docs/architecture.md` - Godot System Architecture Document
+
+**Why These Names Matter for Game Development**:
+
+- Game agents automatically reference these files during Godot development
+- Game sharding tasks expect these specific filenames
+- Game workflow automation depends on standard naming
+
+### Cost-Effective Game Document Creation Workflow
+
+**Recommended for Large Game Documents (Game Design Document, Game Architecture):**
+
+1. **Use Web UI**: Create game documents in web interface for cost efficiency
+2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your Godot project
+3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/architecture.md`
+4. **Switch to Godot IDE**: Use IDE agents for Godot development and smaller game documents
+
+### Game Document Sharding
+
+Game templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded:
+
+**Original Game Design Document**:
+
+```markdown
+## Core Gameplay Mechanics
+
+## Player Progression System
+
+## Level Design Framework
+
+## Technical Requirements
+```
+
+**After Sharding**:
+
+- `docs/game-design/core-gameplay-mechanics.md`
+- `docs/game-design/player-progression-system.md`
+- `docs/game-design/level-design-framework.md`
+- `docs/game-design/technical-requirements.md`
+
+Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic game document sharding.
+

+## Creative Expansion
+
+1. **What If Scenarios**: Ask one provocative question, get their response, then ask another
+2. **Analogical Thinking**: Give one example analogy, ask them to find 2-3 more
+3. **Reversal/Inversion**: Pose the reverse question, let them work through it
+4. **First Principles Thinking**: Ask "What are the fundamentals?" and guide them to break it down
+
+## Structured Frameworks
+
+5. **SCAMPER Method**: Go through one letter at a time, wait for their ideas before moving to next
+6. **Six Thinking Hats**: Present one hat, ask for their thoughts, then move to next hat
+7. **Mind Mapping**: Start with central concept, ask them to suggest branches
+
+## Collaborative Techniques
+
+8. **"Yes, And..." Building**: They give idea, you "yes and" it, they "yes and" back - alternate
+9. **Brainwriting/Round Robin**: They suggest idea, you build on it, ask them to build on yours
+10. **Random Stimulation**: Give one random prompt/word, ask them to make connections
+
+## Deep Exploration
+
+11. **Five Whys**: Ask "why" and wait for their answer before asking next "why"

+# Game Development Guidelines (Godot, GDScript & C#)
+
+## Overview
+
+This document establishes coding standards, architectural patterns, and development practices for game development using Godot Engine with GDScript and C#. These guidelines ensure consistency, performance (60+ FPS target), maintainability, and enforce Test-Driven Development (TDD) across all game development stories.
+
+## Performance Philosophy
+
+Following John Carmack's principles:
+
+- **"Measure, don't guess"** - Profile everything with Godot's built-in profiler
+- **"Focus on what matters: framerate and responsiveness"** - 60+ FPS is the minimum, not the target
+- **"The best code is no code"** - Simplicity beats cleverness
+- **"Think about cache misses, not instruction counts"** - Memory access patterns matter most
+
+## GDScript Standards
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+**Classes and Scripts:**
+
+- PascalCase for class names: `PlayerController`, `GameData`, `InventorySystem`
+- Snake_case for file names: `player_controller.gd`, `game_data.gd`
+- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `GameStateManager` not `GSM`
+
+**Functions and Methods:**
+
+- Snake_case for functions: `calculate_damage()`, `process_input()`
+- Descriptive verb phrases: `activate_shield()` not `shield()`
+- Private methods prefix with underscore: `_update_health()`
+
+**Variables and Properties:**
+
+- Snake_case for variables: `player_health`, `movement_speed`
+- Constants in UPPER_SNAKE_CASE: `MAX_HEALTH`, `GRAVITY_FORCE`
+- Export variables with clear names: `@export var jump_height: float = 5.0`
+- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `is_alive`, `has_key`, `can_jump`
+- Signal names in snake_case: `health_changed`, `level_completed`
+
+### Static Typing (MANDATORY for Performance)
+
+**Always use static typing for 10-20% performance gain:**
+
+```gdscript
+# GOOD - Static typing
+extends CharacterBody2D
+
+@export var max_health: int = 100
+@export var movement_speed: float = 300.0
+
+var current_health: int
+var velocity_multiplier: float = 1.0
+
+func take_damage(amount: int) -> void:
+    current_health -= amount
+    if current_health <= 0:
+        _die()
+
+func _die() -> void:
+    queue_free()
+
+# BAD - Dynamic typing (avoid)
+var health = 100  # No type specified
+func take_damage(amount):  # No parameter or return type
+    health -= amount
+```
+
+## C# Standards (for Performance-Critical Systems)
+
+### When to Use C# vs GDScript
+
+**Use C# for:**
+
+- Complex algorithms (pathfinding, procedural generation)
+- Heavy mathematical computations
+- Performance-critical systems identified by profiler
+- External .NET library integration
+- Large-scale data processing
+
+**Use GDScript for:**
+
+- Rapid prototyping and iteration
+- UI and menu systems
+- Simple game logic
+- Editor tools and scene management
+- Quick gameplay tweaks
+
+### C# Naming Conventions
+
+```csharp
+using Godot;
+
+public partial class PlayerController : CharacterBody2D
+{
+    // Public fields (use sparingly, prefer properties)
+    [Export] public float MoveSpeed = 300.0f;
+
+    // Private fields with underscore prefix
+    private int _currentHealth;
+    private float _jumpVelocity;
+
+    // Properties with PascalCase
+    public int MaxHealth { get; set; } = 100;
+
+    // Methods with PascalCase
+    public void TakeDamage(int amount)
+    {
+        _currentHealth -= amount;
+        if (_currentHealth <= 0)
+        {
+            Die();
+        }
+    }
+
+    private void Die()
+    {
+        QueueFree();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Godot Architecture Patterns
+
+### Node-Based Architecture
+
+**Scene Composition Over Inheritance:**
+
+```gdscript
+# Player.tscn structure:
+# Player (CharacterBody2D)
+# ├── Sprite2D
+# ├── CollisionShape2D
+# ├── PlayerHealth (Node)
+# ├── PlayerMovement (Node)
+# └── PlayerInput (Node)
+
+# PlayerHealth.gd - Single responsibility component
+extends Node
+class_name PlayerHealth
+
+signal health_changed(new_health: int)
+signal died
+
+@export var max_health: int = 100
+var current_health: int
+
+func _ready() -> void:
+    current_health = max_health
+
+func take_damage(amount: int) -> void:
+    current_health = max(0, current_health - amount)
+    health_changed.emit(current_health)
+    if current_health == 0:
+        died.emit()
+```
+
+### Signal-Based Communication
+
+**Decouple Systems with Signals:**
+
+```gdscript
+# GameManager.gd - Singleton/Autoload
+extends Node
+
+signal game_started
+signal game_over
+signal level_completed
+
+var score: int = 0
+var current_level: int = 1
+
+func start_game() -> void:
+    score = 0
+    current_level = 1
+    game_started.emit()
+    get_tree().change_scene_to_file("res://scenes/levels/level_1.tscn")
+
+# Player.gd - Connects to signals
+extends CharacterBody2D
+
+func _ready() -> void:
+    GameManager.game_over.connect(_on_game_over)
+
+func _on_game_over() -> void:
+    set_physics_process(false)  # Stop player movement
+    $AnimationPlayer.play("death")
+```
+
+### Resource-Based Data Management
+
+**Use Custom Resources for Game Data:**
+
+```gdscript
+# WeaponData.gd - Custom Resource
+extends Resource
+class_name WeaponData
+
+@export var weapon_name: String = "Sword"
+@export var damage: int = 10
+@export var attack_speed: float = 1.0
+@export var sprite: Texture2D
+
+# Weapon.gd - Uses the resource
+extends Node2D
+class_name Weapon
+
+@export var weapon_data: WeaponData
+
+func _ready() -> void:
+    if weapon_data:
+        $Sprite2D.texture = weapon_data.sprite
+
+func attack() -> int:
+    return weapon_data.damage if weapon_data else 0
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Object Pooling (MANDATORY for Spawned Objects)
+
+```gdscript
+# ObjectPool.gd - Generic pooling system
+extends Node
+class_name ObjectPool
+
+@export var pool_scene: PackedScene
+@export var initial_size: int = 20
+
+var _pool: Array[Node] = []
+
+func _ready() -> void:
+    for i in initial_size:
+        var instance := pool_scene.instantiate()
+        instance.set_process(false)
+        instance.set_physics_process(false)
+        instance.visible = false
+        add_child(instance)
+        _pool.append(instance)
+
+func get_object() -> Node:
+    for obj in _pool:
+        if not obj.visible:
+            obj.visible = true
+            obj.set_process(true)
+            obj.set_physics_process(true)
+            return obj
+
+    # Expand pool if needed
+    var new_obj := pool_scene.instantiate()
+    add_child(new_obj)
+    _pool.append(new_obj)
+    return new_obj
+
+func return_object(obj: Node) -> void:
+    obj.set_process(false)
+    obj.set_physics_process(false)
+    obj.visible = false
+    obj.position = Vector2.ZERO
+```
+
+### Process Optimization
+
+**Use Appropriate Process Methods:**
+
+```gdscript
+extends Node2D
+
+# For physics calculations (fixed timestep)
+func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
+    # Movement, collision detection
+    pass
+
+# For visual updates and input
+func _process(delta: float) -> void:
+    # Animations, UI updates
+    pass
+
+# Use timers or signals instead of checking every frame
+func _ready() -> void:
+    var timer := Timer.new()
+    timer.wait_time = 1.0
+    timer.timeout.connect(_check_condition)
+    add_child(timer)
+    timer.start()
+
+func _check_condition() -> void:
+    # Check something once per second instead of 60 times
+    pass
+```
+
+### Memory Management
+
+**Prevent Memory Leaks:**
+
+```gdscript
+extends Node
+
+var _connections: Array[Callable] = []
+
+func _ready() -> void:
+    # Store connections for cleanup
+    var callable := GameManager.score_changed.connect(_on_score_changed)
+    _connections.append(callable)
+
+func _exit_tree() -> void:
+    # Clean up connections
+    for connection in _connections:
+        if connection.is_valid():
+            connection.disconnect()
+    _connections.clear()
+
+# Use queue_free() not free() for nodes
+func remove_enemy(enemy: Node) -> void:
+    enemy.queue_free()  # Safe deletion
+```
+
+## Test-Driven Development (MANDATORY)
+
+### GUT (Godot Unit Test) for GDScript
+
+**Write Tests FIRST:**
+
+```gdscript
+# test/unit/test_player_health.gd
+extends GutTest
+
+var player_health: PlayerHealth
+
+func before_each() -> void:
+    player_health = PlayerHealth.new()
+    player_health.max_health = 100
+
+func test_take_damage_reduces_health() -> void:
+    # Arrange
+    player_health.current_health = 100
+
+    # Act
+    player_health.take_damage(30)
+
+    # Assert
+    assert_eq(player_health.current_health, 70, "Health should be reduced by damage amount")

+    # Act
+    player_health.take_damage(10)
+
+    # Assert
+    assert_signal_emitted(player_health, "died")
+```
+
+### GoDotTest for C#
+
+```csharp

+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Input Handling
+
+### Godot Input System
+
+**Input Map Configuration:**
+
+```gdscript
+# Configure in Project Settings -> Input Map
+# Actions: "move_left", "move_right", "jump", "attack"
+
+extends CharacterBody2D
+
+@export var speed: float = 300.0

+
+    move_and_slide()
+
+# For responsive input (use _unhandled_input for UI priority)
+func _unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
+    if event.is_action_pressed("attack"):

+### Scene Loading and Transitions
+
+```gdscript

+
+var current_scene: Node = null
+
+func _ready() -> void:

+## Development Workflow
+
+### TDD Story Implementation Process
+
+1. **Read Story Requirements:**
+   - Understand acceptance criteria
+   - Identify performance requirements (60+ FPS)
+   - Determine GDScript vs C# needs
+
+2. **Write Tests FIRST (Red Phase):**
+   - Write failing unit tests in GUT/GoDotTest
+   - Define expected behavior
+   - Run tests to confirm they fail
+
+3. **Implement Feature (Green Phase):**
+   - Write minimal code to pass tests
+   - Follow Godot patterns and conventions
+   - Use static typing in GDScript
+   - Choose appropriate language (GDScript/C#)
+
+4. **Refactor (Refactor Phase):**
+   - Optimize for performance
+   - Clean up code structure
+   - Ensure 60+ FPS maintained
+   - Run profiler to validate
+
+5. **Integration Testing:**
+   - Test scene interactions
+   - Validate performance targets
+   - Test on all platforms
+
+6. **Update Documentation:**
+   - Mark story checkboxes complete
+   - Document performance metrics
+   - Update File List
+
+### Performance Checklist
+
+- [ ] Stable 60+ FPS achieved
+- [ ] Static typing used in all GDScript
+- [ ] Object pooling for spawned entities
+- [ ] No memory leaks detected
+- [ ] Draw calls optimized
+- [ ] Appropriate process methods used
+- [ ] Signals properly connected/disconnected
+- [ ] Tests written FIRST (TDD)
+- [ ] 80%+ test coverage
+
+## Performance Targets
+
+### Frame Rate Requirements
+
+- **Desktop**: 60+ FPS minimum (144 FPS for high-refresh)
+- **Mobile**: 60 FPS on mid-range devices
+- **Web**: 60 FPS with appropriate export settings
+- **Frame Time**: <16.67ms consistently
+
+### Memory Management
+
+- **Scene Memory**: Keep under platform limits
+- **Texture Memory**: Optimize imports, use compression
+- **Object Pooling**: Required for bullets, particles, enemies
+- **Reference Cleanup**: Prevent memory leaks
+
+### Optimization Priorities
+
+1. **Profile First**: Use Godot profiler to identify bottlenecks
+2. **Optimize Algorithms**: Better algorithms beat micro-optimizations
+3. **Reduce Draw Calls**: Batch rendering, use atlases
+4. **Static Typing**: 10-20% performance gain in GDScript
+5. **Language Choice**: Use C# for compute-heavy operations
+
+## General Optimization
+
+### Anti-Patterns
+
+1. **Security Holes**
+   - Buffer overflows
+   - SQL injection vectors
+   - Unvalidated user input
+   - Timing attacks
+   - Memory disclosure
+   - Race conditions with security impact
+
+2. **Platform Sabotage**
+   - Fighting Godot's scene system
+   - Reimplementing platform features
+   - Ignoring hardware capabilities
+
+## GDScript Optimization
+
+### Performance Destroyers
+
+1. **Type System Crimes**
+   - Dynamic typing anywhere (10-20% performance loss)
+   - Variant usage in hot paths
+   - Dictionary/Array without typed variants
+   - Missing return type hints
+   - Untyped function parameters
+
+2. **Allocation Disasters**
+   - Creating Arrays/Dictionaries in loops
+   - String concatenation with +
+   - Unnecessary Node instantiation
+   - Resource loading in game loop
+   - Signal connections without caching
+
+3. **Process Method Abuse**
+   - \_process() when \_physics_process() suffices
+   - Frame-by-frame checks for rare events
+   - get_node() calls every frame
+   - Node path resolution in loops
+   - Unnecessary process enabling
+
+### GDScript Death Sentences
+
+```gdscript
+# CRIME: Dynamic typing
+var health = 100  # Dies. var health: int = 100
+
+# CRIME: String concatenation in loop
+for i in range(1000):
+    text += str(i)  # Dies. Use StringBuffer or Array.join()
+
+# CRIME: get_node every frame
+func _process(delta):
+    $UI/Score.text = str(score)  # Dies. Cache the node reference
+
+# CRIME: Creating objects in loop
+for enemy in enemies:
+    var bullet = Bullet.new()  # Dies. Object pool
+
+# CRIME: Untyped arrays
+var enemies = []  # Dies. var enemies: Array[Enemy] = []
+
+# CRIME: Path finding every frame
+func _process(delta):
+    find_node("Player")  # Dies. Store reference in _ready()
+
+# CRIME: Signal spam
+for i in range(100):
+    emit_signal("updated", i)  # Dies. Batch updates
+
+# CRIME: Resource loading in game
+func shoot():
+    var bullet_scene = load("res://bullet.tscn")  # Dies. Preload
+
+# CRIME: Checking rare conditions every frame
+func _process(delta):
+    if player_died:  # Dies. Use signals
+        game_over()
+
+# CRIME: Node creation without pooling
+func spawn_particle():
+    var p = Particle.new()  # Dies. Pool everything spawned
+    add_child(p)
+```
+
+### The Only Acceptable GDScript Patterns
+
+```gdscript
+# GOOD: Static typing everywhere
+var health: int = 100
+var speed: float = 300.0
+var enemies: Array[Enemy] = []
+
+# GOOD: Cached node references
+@onready var score_label: Label = $UI/Score
+@onready var health_bar: ProgressBar = $UI/HealthBar
+
+# GOOD: Preloaded resources
+const BULLET_SCENE: PackedScene = preload("res://bullet.tscn")
+const EXPLOSION_SOUND: AudioStream = preload("res://explosion.ogg")
+
+# GOOD: Object pooling
+var bullet_pool: Array[Bullet] = []
+func _ready() -> void:
+    for i in 50:
+        var bullet := BULLET_SCENE.instantiate() as Bullet
+        bullet.visible = false
+        bullet_pool.append(bullet)
+
+# GOOD: Typed dictionaries
+var player_stats: Dictionary = {
+    "health": 100,
+    "armor": 50,
+    "speed": 300.0
+}
+
+# GOOD: Efficient string building
+func build_text(count: int) -> String:
+    var parts: PackedStringArray = []
+    for i in count:
+        parts.append(str(i))
+    return "".join(parts)
+
+# GOOD: Timer-based checks
+func _ready() -> void:
+    var timer := Timer.new()
+    timer.wait_time = 1.0
+    timer.timeout.connect(_check_rare_condition)
+    add_child(timer)
+    timer.start()
+
+# GOOD: Batch operations
+var updates_pending: Array[int] = []
+func queue_update(value: int) -> void:
+    updates_pending.append(value)
+    if updates_pending.size() == 1:
+        call_deferred("_process_updates")
+
+func _process_updates() -> void:
+    # Process all updates at once
+    for value in updates_pending:
+        # Do work
+        pass
+    updates_pending.clear()
+
+# GOOD: Const for compile-time optimization
+const MAX_ENEMIES: int = 100
+const GRAVITY: float = 980.0
+const DEBUG_MODE: bool = false
+```
+
+### GDScript-Specific Optimization Rules
+
+1. **ALWAYS use static typing** - Non-negotiable 10-20% free performance
+2. **NEVER use get_node() in loops** - Cache everything in @onready
+3. **NEVER load() in gameplay** - preload() or ResourceLoader
+4. **NEVER create nodes without pooling** - Pool or die
+5. **NEVER concatenate strings in loops** - PackedStringArray.join()
+6. **ALWAYS use const for constants** - Compile-time optimization
+7. **ALWAYS specify Array types** - Array[Type] not Array
+8. **NEVER check conditions every frame** - Use signals and timers
+9. **ALWAYS batch similar operations** - One update, not many
+10. **NEVER trust the profiler isn't watching** - It always is
+
+## Godot C# Optimization
+
+### Anti-Patterns
+
+1. **Performance Destroyers**
+   - ANY allocation in render/game loop
+   - String operations in hot paths
+   - LINQ anywhere (it allocates, period)
+   - Boxing/unboxing in performance code
+   - Virtual calls when direct calls possible
+   - Cache-hostile data layouts
+   - Synchronous I/O blocking computation
+2. **Algorithmic Incompetence**
+   - O(n²) when O(n log n) exists
+   - O(n³) = fired
+   - Linear search in sorted data
+   - Recalculating invariants
+   - Branches in SIMD loops
+   - Random memory access patterns
+
+3. **Architectural Cancer**
+   - Abstractions that don't eliminate code
+   - Single-implementation interfaces
+   - Factory factories
+   - 3+ levels of indirection
+   - Reflection in performance paths
+   - Manager classes (lazy design)
+   - Event systems for direct calls
+   - Not using SIMD where available
+   - Thread-unsafe code in parallel contexts
+
+## C#/GODOT SPECIFIC DEATH SENTENCES
+
+### Instant Rejection Patterns
+
+```csharp
+// CRIME: LINQ in game code
+units.Where(u => u.IsAlive).ToList()  // Dies. Pre-filtered array.
+
+// CRIME: String operations
+$"Player {name} scored {score}"  // Dies. StringBuilder or byte buffer.
+
+// CRIME: Boxing
+object value = 42;  // Dies. Generic or specific type.
+
+// CRIME: Foreach on List<T>
+foreach(var item in list)  // Dies. for(int i = 0; i < list.Count; i++)
+
+// CRIME: Properties doing work
+public int Count => CalculateCount();  // Dies. Cache or field.
+
+// CRIME: Virtual by default
+public virtual void Update()  // Dies. Sealed unless NEEDED.
+
+// CRIME: Events for direct calls
+public event Action OnUpdate;  // Dies. Direct method call.
+
+// CRIME: Reflection
+typeof(T).GetMethod("Update")  // Dies. Direct call or delegates.
+
+// CRIME: Async in game loop
+await LoadDataAsync();  // Dies. Preload or synchronous.
+
+// CRIME: GD.Print in production
+GD.Print($"Debug: {value}");  // Dies. Conditional compilation.
+```
+
+### Godot-Specific Crimes
+
+```csharp
+// CRIME: GetNode every frame
+GetNode<Label>("UI/Score")  // Dies. Cache in _Ready().
+
+// CRIME: Creating Nodes dynamically
+var bullet = bulletScene.Instantiate();  // Dies. Object pool.
+
+// CRIME: Signal connections in loops
+unit.HealthChanged += OnHealthChanged;  // Dies. Batch updates.
+
+// CRIME: _Process without need
+public override void _Process(double delta)  // Dies. Use _PhysicsProcess or events.
+
+// CRIME: Autoload abuse
+GetNode<GameManager>("/root/GameManager")  // Dies. Direct reference.
+```
+
+### The Only Acceptable Patterns
+
+```csharp
+// GOOD: Pre-allocated buffers
+private readonly Unit[] _units = new Unit[MAX_UNITS];
+private readonly int[] _indices = new int[MAX_UNITS];
+
+// GOOD: Struct over class
+public struct UnitData { public int Health; public Vector2I Position; }
+
+// GOOD: Data-oriented design
+public struct Units {
+    public int[] Health;
+    public Vector2I[] Positions;
+    public bool[] IsAlive;
+}
+
+// GOOD: Zero-allocation update
+public void Update() {
+    int count = _activeCount;
+    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
+        ref Unit unit = ref _units[i];
+        unit.Position += unit.Velocity;
+    }
+}
+
+// GOOD: Compile-time elimination
+#if DEBUG
+    GD.Print("Debug info");
+#endif
+```

+# Advanced Game Design Elicitation Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+- Provide optional reflective and brainstorming actions to enhance game design content quality
+- Enable deeper exploration of game mechanics and player experience through structured elicitation techniques
+- Support iterative refinement through multiple game development perspectives
+- Apply game-specific critical thinking to design decisions
+
+## Task Instructions
+
+### 1. Game Design Context and Review
+
+[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a game design section:
+
+1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.")
+
+2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.")
+
+3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to:
+   - The entire section as a whole
+   - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action)
+
+4. Then present the action list as specified below.]]
+
+### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List
+
+[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection. If an elicitation action (0-8) is chosen, execute it and then re-offer this combined review/elicitation choice. If option 9 is chosen, or if the user provides direct feedback, proceed accordingly.]]
+
+**Present the numbered list (0-9) with this exact format:**
+
+```text
+**Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions**
+Choose an action (0-9 - 9 to bypass - HELP for explanation of these options):
+
+0. Expand or Contract for Target Audience
+1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step)
+2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective
+3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies
+4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals
+5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks
+6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective
+7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches
+8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+```
+
+### 2. Processing Guidelines
+
+**Do NOT show:**
+
+- The full protocol text with `[[LLM: ...]]` instructions
+- Detailed explanations of each option unless executing or the user asks, when giving the definition you can modify to tie its game development relevance
+- Any internal template markup
+
+**After user selection from the list:**
+
+- Execute the chosen action according to the game design protocol instructions below
+- Ask if they want to select another action or proceed with option 9 once complete
+- Continue until user selects option 9 or indicates completion
+
+## Game Design Action Definitions
+
+0. Expand or Contract for Target Audience
+   [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]]
+
+1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step)
+   [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]]
+
+2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective
+   [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]]
+
+3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies
+   [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]]
+
+4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals
+   [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]]
+
+5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks
+   [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]]
+
+6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective
+   [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]]
+
+7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches
+   [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]]
+
+8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection
+   [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]]
+
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+   [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current game design work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]]
+
+## Game Development Context Integration
+
+This elicitation task is specifically designed for game development and should be used in contexts where:
+

+# apply-qa-fixes
+
+Implement fixes based on QA results (gate and assessments) for a specific Godot game story. This task is for the Game Developer agent to systematically consume QA outputs and apply game code/test changes while only updating allowed sections in the story file.
+
+## Purpose
+
+- Read QA outputs for a game story (gate YAML + assessment markdowns)
+- Create a prioritized, deterministic fix plan for game features
+- Apply game code and test changes to close gaps and address issues
+- Update only the allowed story sections for the Game Developer agent
+
+## Inputs
+
+```yaml
+required:
+  - story_id: '{epic}.{story}' # e.g., "2.2"
+  - qa_root: from `.bmad-godot-game-dev/config.yaml` key `qa.qaLocation` (e.g., `docs/project/qa`)
+  - story_root: from `.bmad-godot-game-dev/config.yaml` key `devStoryLocation` (e.g., `docs/project/stories`)
+  - project_root: Godot project root directory (containing project.godot)
+
+optional:
+  - story_title: '{title}' # derive from story H1 if missing
+  - story_slug: '{slug}' # derive from title (lowercase, hyphenated) if missing
+```
+
+## QA Sources to Read
+
+- Gate (YAML): `{qa_root}/gates/{epic}.{story}-*.yml`
+  - If multiple, use the most recent by modified time
+- Assessments (Markdown):
+  - Test Design: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-test-design-*.md`
+  - Traceability: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-trace-*.md`
+  - Risk Profile: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-risk-*.md`
+  - NFR Assessment: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-nfr-*.md`
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Godot 4.x installed and configured
+- Testing frameworks installed:
+  - **GDScript**: GUT (Godot Unit Test) framework installed as addon
+  - **C#**: GoDotTest or GodotTestDriver NuGet packages installed
+- Project builds successfully in Godot Editor
+- Test commands available:
+  - GDScript: `godot --headless --script res://addons/gut/gut_cmdln.gd`
+  - C#: `dotnet test` or `godot --headless --run-tests`
+
+## Process (Do not skip steps)
+
+### 0) Load Core Config & Locate Story
+
+- Read `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` and resolve `qa_root`, `story_root`, and `project_root`
+- Locate story file in `{story_root}/{epic}.{story}.*.md`
+  - HALT if missing and ask for correct story id/path
+
+### 1) Collect QA Findings
+
+- Parse the latest gate YAML:
+  - `gate` (PASS|CONCERNS|FAIL|WAIVED)
+  - `top_issues[]` with `id`, `severity`, `finding`, `suggested_action`
+  - `nfr_validation.*.status` and notes
+  - `trace` coverage summary/gaps
+  - `test_design.coverage_gaps[]`
+  - `risk_summary.recommendations.must_fix[]` (if present)
+- Read any present assessment markdowns and extract explicit gaps/recommendations
+
+### 2) Build Deterministic Fix Plan (Priority Order)
+
+Apply in order, highest priority first:
+
+1. High severity items in `top_issues` (gameplay/performance/stability/maintainability)
+2. NFR statuses: all FAIL must be fixed → then CONCERNS
+3. Test Design `coverage_gaps` (prioritize P0 gameplay scenarios)
+4. Trace uncovered requirements (AC-level, especially gameplay mechanics)
+5. Risk `must_fix` recommendations
+6. Medium severity issues, then low
+
+Guidance:
+
+- Prefer tests closing coverage gaps before/with code changes
+- Keep changes minimal and targeted; follow Godot best practices and project architecture
+- Respect scene organization and node hierarchy
+- Follow GDScript style guide or C# conventions as appropriate
+
+### 3) Apply Changes
+
+- Implement game code fixes per plan:
+  - GDScript: Follow Godot style guide, use signals for decoupling
+  - C#: Follow .NET conventions, use events/delegates appropriately
+- Add missing tests to close coverage gaps:
+  - **GDScript Tests (GUT)**:
+    - Unit tests in `test/unit/` for game logic
+    - Integration tests in `test/integration/` for scene interactions
+    - Use `gut.p()` for parameterized tests
+    - Mock nodes with `double()` and `stub()`
+  - **C# Tests (GoDotTest/GodotTestDriver)**:
+    - Unit tests using xUnit or NUnit patterns
+    - Integration tests for scene and node interactions
+    - Use test fixtures for game state setup
+- Follow Godot patterns:
+  - Autoload/singleton patterns for global game state
+  - Signal-based communication between nodes
+  - Resource files (.tres/.res) for data management
+  - Scene inheritance for reusable components
+
+### 4) Validate
+
+**For GDScript Projects:**
+
+- Run GUT tests: `godot --headless --script res://addons/gut/gut_cmdln.gd -gselect=test/ -gexit`
+- Check for script errors in Godot Editor (Script Editor panel)
+- Validate scene references and node paths
+- Run game in editor to verify no runtime errors
+
+**For C# Projects:**
+
+- Build solution: `dotnet build`
+- Run tests: `dotnet test` or `godot --headless --run-tests`
+- Check for compilation errors
+- Validate no null reference exceptions in gameplay
+
+**For Both:**
+
+- Test gameplay mechanics manually if needed
+- Verify performance (check FPS, memory usage)
+- Iterate until all tests pass and no errors
+
+### 5) Update Story (Allowed Sections ONLY)
+
+CRITICAL: Dev agent is ONLY authorized to update these sections of the story file. Do not modify any other sections (e.g., QA Results, Story, Acceptance Criteria, Dev Notes, Testing):
+
+- Tasks / Subtasks Checkboxes (mark any fix subtask you added as done)
+- Dev Agent Record →
+  - Agent Model Used (if changed)
+  - Debug Log References (test results, Godot console output)
+  - Completion Notes List (what changed, why, how)
+  - File List (all added/modified/deleted files)
+- Change Log (new dated entry describing applied fixes)
+- Status (see Rule below)
+
+Status Rule:
+
+- If gate was PASS and all identified gaps are closed → set `Status: Ready for Done`
+- Otherwise → set `Status: Ready for Review` and notify QA to re-run the review
+
+### 6) Do NOT Edit Gate Files
+
+- Dev does not modify gate YAML. If fixes address issues, request QA to re-run `review-story` to update the gate
+
+## Blocking Conditions
+
+- Missing `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml`
+- Story file not found for `story_id`
+- No QA artifacts found (neither gate nor assessments)
+  - HALT and request QA to generate at least a gate file (or proceed only with clear developer-provided fix list)
+- Godot project file (`project.godot`) not found
+- Testing framework not properly installed (GUT addon missing or NuGet packages not restored)
+
+## Completion Checklist
+
+- Godot project builds without errors
+- All tests pass:
+  - GDScript: GUT tests green
+  - C#: dotnet test successful
+- No script errors in Godot Editor
+- All high severity `top_issues` addressed
+- NFR FAIL → resolved; CONCERNS minimized or documented
+- Coverage gaps closed or explicitly documented with rationale
+- Gameplay features tested and working
+- Story updated (allowed sections only) including File List and Change Log
+- Status set according to Status Rule
+
+## Example: Story 2.2 - Player Movement System
+
+Given gate `docs/project/qa/gates/2.2-*.yml` shows
+
+- `coverage_gaps`: Jump mechanics edge cases untested (AC2)
+- `coverage_gaps`: Input buffering not tested (AC4)
+- `top_issues`: Performance drops when multiple players active
+
+Fix plan:
+
+**GDScript Example:**
+
+- Add GUT test for jump height variation based on button hold time
+- Add test for input buffering during state transitions
+- Optimize player movement script using object pooling for effects
+- Test with `gut.p()` parameterized tests for different player counts
+
+**C# Example:**
+
+- Add GoDotTest unit test for jump physics calculations
+- Add integration test for input system using GodotTestDriver
+- Refactor movement system to use Jobs/Tasks for parallel processing
+- Verify with performance profiler
+
+- Re-run tests and update Dev Agent Record + File List accordingly
+
+## Key Principles
+
+- Deterministic, risk-first prioritization
+- Minimal, maintainable changes following Godot best practices
+- Tests validate gameplay behavior and close gapså
+- Respect Godot's node-based architecture and signal system
+- Maintain clear separation between game logic and presentation
+- Strict adherence to allowed story update areas
+- Gate ownership remains with QA; Game Developer signals readiness via Status
+

+# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven)
+
+## ⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION NOTICE ⚠️
+
+**THIS IS AN EXECUTABLE WORKFLOW - NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL**
+
+When this task is invoked:
+
+1. **DISABLE ALL EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATIONS** - This workflow requires full user interaction
+2. **MANDATORY STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION** - Each section must be processed sequentially with user feedback
+3. **ELICITATION IS REQUIRED** - When `elicit: true`, you MUST use the 1-9 format and wait for user response
+4. **NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED** - Complete documents cannot be created without following this workflow
+
+**VIOLATION INDICATOR:** If you create a complete document without user interaction, you have violated this workflow.
+
+## Critical: Template Discovery
+
+If a YAML Template has not been provided, list all templates from .bmad-core/templates or ask the user to provide another.
+
+## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format
+
+**When `elicit: true`, this is a HARD STOP requiring user interaction:**
+
+**YOU MUST:**
+
+1. Present section content
+2. Provide detailed rationale (explain trade-offs, assumptions, decisions made)
+3. **STOP and present numbered options 1-9:**
+   - **Option 1:** Always "Proceed to next section"
+   - **Options 2-9:** Select 8 methods from data/elicitation-methods
+   - End with: "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"
+4. **WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE** - Do not proceed until user selects option or provides feedback
+
+**WORKFLOW VIOLATION:** Creating content for elicit=true sections without user interaction violates this task.
+
+**NEVER ask yes/no questions or use any other format.**
+
+## Processing Flow
+
+1. **Parse YAML template** - Load template metadata and sections
+2. **Set preferences** - Show current mode (Interactive), confirm output file
+3. **Process each section:**
+   - Skip if condition unmet
+   - Check agent permissions (owner/editors) - note if section is restricted to specific agents
+   - Draft content using section instruction
+   - Present content + detailed rationale
+   - **IF elicit: true** → MANDATORY 1-9 options format
+   - Save to file if possible
+4. **Continue until complete**
+
+## Detailed Rationale Requirements
+
+When presenting section content, ALWAYS include rationale that explains:
+
+- Trade-offs and choices made (what was chosen over alternatives and why)
+- Key assumptions made during drafting
+- Interesting or questionable decisions that need user attention
+- Areas that might need validation
+
+## Elicitation Results Flow
+
+After user selects elicitation method (2-9):
+
+1. Execute method from data/elicitation-methods
+2. Present results with insights
+3. Offer options:
+   - **1. Apply changes and update section**
+   - **2. Return to elicitation menu**
+   - **3. Ask any questions or engage further with this elicitation**
+
+## Agent Permissions
+
+When processing sections with agent permission fields:
+
+- **owner**: Note which agent role initially creates/populates the section
+- **editors**: List agent roles allowed to modify the section
+- **readonly**: Mark sections that cannot be modified after creation
+
+**For sections with restricted access:**
+
+- Include a note in the generated document indicating the responsible agent
+- Example: "_(This section is owned by dev-agent and can only be modified by dev-agent)_"
+
+## YOLO Mode
+
+User can type `#yolo` to toggle to YOLO mode (process all sections at once).
+
+## CRITICAL REMINDERS
+
+**❌ NEVER:**
+
+- Ask yes/no questions for elicitation
+- Use any format other than 1-9 numbered options
+- Create new elicitation methods
+
+**✅ ALWAYS:**
+
+- Use exact 1-9 format when elicit: true
+- Select options 2-9 from data/elicitation-methods only
+- Provide detailed rationale explaining decisions
+- End with "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"

+# Create Game Story Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+To identify the next logical game story based on project progress and epic definitions, and then to prepare a comprehensive, self-contained, and actionable story file using the `Game Story Template`. This task ensures the story is enriched with all necessary technical context, Godot-specific requirements (node architecture, GDScript/C# language selection, 60+ FPS performance targets), TDD test requirements, and acceptance criteria, making it ready for efficient implementation by a Game Developer Agent with minimal need for additional research or finding its own context.
+
+## SEQUENTIAL Task Execution (Do not proceed until current Task is complete)
+
+### 0. Load Core Configuration and Check Workflow
+
+- Load `.bmad-godot-game-dev/config.yaml` from the project root
+- If the file does not exist, HALT and inform the user: "core-config.yaml not found. This file is required for story creation. You can either: 1) Copy core-config.yaml from GITHUB bmad-core/ and configure it for your game project OR 2) Run the BMad installer against your project to upgrade and add the file automatically. Please add and configure before proceeding."
+- Extract key configurations: `devStoryLocation`, `prd.*`, `architecture.*`, `workflow.*`
+
+### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation
+
+#### 1.1 Locate Epic Files and Review Existing Stories
+
+- Based on `prdSharded` from config, locate epic files (sharded location/pattern or monolithic PRD sections)
+- If `devStoryLocation` has story files, load the highest `{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` file
+- **If highest story exists:**
+  - Verify status is 'Done'. If not, alert user: "ALERT: Found incomplete story! File: {lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md Status: [current status] Check if TDD tests are passing (GUT/GoDotTest). You should fix this story first, but would you like to accept risk & override to create the next story in draft?"
+  - If proceeding, select next sequential story in the current epic
+  - If epic is complete, prompt user: "Epic {epicNum} Complete: All stories in Epic {epicNum} have been completed. Would you like to: 1) Begin Epic {epicNum + 1} with story 1 2) Select a specific story to work on 3) Cancel story creation"
+  - **CRITICAL**: NEVER automatically skip to another epic. User MUST explicitly instruct which story to create.
+- **If no story files exist:** The next story is ALWAYS 1.1 (first story of first epic)
+- Announce the identified story to the user: "Identified next story for preparation: {epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}"
+
+### 2. Gather Story Requirements and Previous Story Context
+
+- Extract story requirements from the identified epic file or PRD section
+- If previous story exists, review Dev Agent Record sections for:
+  - Completion Notes and Debug Log References
+  - Implementation deviations and technical decisions
+  - Godot-specific challenges (node structure, signal connections, 60+ FPS violations)
+  - Language decisions (GDScript vs C# choices and rationale)
+  - Resource loading and object pooling implementations
+  - TDD test coverage and any failing tests
+- Extract relevant insights that inform the current story's preparation
+
+### 3. Gather Architecture Context
+
+#### 3.1 Determine Architecture Reading Strategy
+
+- **If `architectureVersion: >= v3` and `architectureSharded: true`**: Read `{architectureShardedLocation}/index.md` then follow structured reading order below
+- **Else**: Use monolithic `architectureFile` for similar sections
+
+#### 3.2 Read Architecture Documents Based on Story Type
+
+**For ALL Game Stories:** tech-stack.md, godot-project-structure.md, coding-standards.md, test-strategy and standards.md, language-strategy.md
+
+**For Gameplay/Mechanics Stories, additionally:** gameplay-systems-architecture.md, node-architecture-details.md, physics-configuration.md, input-system-architecture.md, state-machine-architecture.md, resource-architecture.md
+
+**For UI/UX Stories, additionally:** node-architecture-details.md, ui-architecture.md, ui-component-system.md, ui-state-management.md, scene-management-architecture.md

+
+**For Graphics/Rendering Stories, additionally:** rendering-settings.md, shader-guidelines.md, sprite-management.md, particle-systems.md
+
+**For Audio Stories, additionally:** audio-architecture.md, audio-mixing-configuration.md, sound-bank-management.md
+
+#### 3.3 Extract Story-Specific Technical Details
+
+Extract ONLY information directly relevant to implementing the current story. Do NOT invent new patterns, systems, or standards not in the source documents.
+
+Extract:
+
+- Specific Godot nodes and their inheritance hierarchy
+- Language selection rationale (GDScript vs C# for each component)

+# Document an Existing Project
+
+## Purpose
+
+Generate comprehensive documentation for existing projects optimized for AI development agents. This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase.
+
+## Task Instructions
+
+### 1. Initial Project Analysis
+
+**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only.
+
+**IF PRD EXISTS**:
+
+- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned
+- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected
+- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas
+- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean
+
+**IF NO PRD EXISTS**:
+Ask the user:
+
+"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options:
+
+1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas.
+
+2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share?
+
+3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example:
+   - 'Adding payment processing to the user service'
+   - 'Refactoring the authentication module'
+   - 'Integrating with a new third-party API'
+
+4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects)
+
+Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer."
+
+Based on their response:
+
+- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation
+- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below
+
+Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to:
+
+1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization
+2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies
+3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands
+4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation
+5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches
+
+Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs:
+
+- What is the primary purpose of this project?
+- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand?
+- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing)
+- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer?
+- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team)
+- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation)
+
+### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis
+
+CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase:
+
+1. **Explore Key Areas**:
+   - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers)
+   - Configuration files and environment setup
+   - Package dependencies and versions
+   - Build and deployment configurations
+   - Test suites and coverage
+
+2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**:
+   - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?"
+   - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?"
+   - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?"
+   - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?"
+   - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?"
+
+3. **Map the Reality**:
+   - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices)
+   - Find where key business logic lives
+   - Locate integration points and external dependencies
+   - Document workarounds and technical debt
+   - Note areas that differ from standard patterns
+
+**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement
+
+### 3. Core Documentation Generation
+
+[[LLM: Generate a comprehensive BROWNFIELD architecture document that reflects the ACTUAL state of the codebase.
+
+**CRITICAL**: This is NOT an aspirational architecture document. Document what EXISTS, including:
+
+- Technical debt and workarounds
+- Inconsistent patterns between different parts
+- Legacy code that can't be changed
+- Integration constraints
+- Performance bottlenecks
+
+**Document Structure**:
+
+# [Project Name] Brownfield Architecture Document
+
+## Introduction
+
+This document captures the CURRENT STATE of the [Project Name] codebase, including technical debt, workarounds, and real-world patterns. It serves as a reference for AI agents working on enhancements.
+
+### Document Scope
+
+[If PRD provided: "Focused on areas relevant to: {enhancement description}"]
+[If no PRD: "Comprehensive documentation of entire system"]
+
+### Change Log

+| ------ | ------- | --------------------------- | --------- |
+| [Date] | 1.0     | Initial brownfield analysis | [Analyst] |
+
+## Quick Reference - Key Files and Entry Points
+
+### Critical Files for Understanding the System
+
+- **Main Entry**: `src/index.js` (or actual entry point)
+- **Configuration**: `config/app.config.js`, `.env.example`
+- **Core Business Logic**: `src/services/`, `src/domain/`
+- **API Definitions**: `src/routes/` or link to OpenAPI spec
+- **Database Models**: `src/models/` or link to schema files
+- **Key Algorithms**: [List specific files with complex logic]
+
+### If PRD Provided - Enhancement Impact Areas
+
+[Highlight which files/modules will be affected by the planned enhancement]
+
+## High Level Architecture
+
+### Technical Summary
+
+### Actual Tech Stack (from package.json/requirements.txt)
+
+| Category  | Technology | Version | Notes                      |
+| --------- | ---------- | ------- | -------------------------- |
+| Runtime   | Node.js    | 16.x    | [Any constraints]          |
+| Framework | Express    | 4.18.2  | [Custom middleware?]       |
+| Database  | PostgreSQL | 13      | [Connection pooling setup] |
+
+etc...
+
+### Repository Structure Reality Check
+
+- Type: [Monorepo/Polyrepo/Hybrid]
+- Package Manager: [npm/yarn/pnpm]
+- Notable: [Any unusual structure decisions]
+
+## Source Tree and Module Organization
+
+### Project Structure (Actual)
+
+```text
+project-root/
+├── src/
+│   ├── controllers/     # HTTP request handlers
+│   ├── services/        # Business logic (NOTE: inconsistent patterns between user and payment services)
+│   ├── models/          # Database models (Sequelize)
+│   ├── utils/           # Mixed bag - needs refactoring
+│   └── legacy/          # DO NOT MODIFY - old payment system still in use
+├── tests/               # Jest tests (60% coverage)
+├── scripts/             # Build and deployment scripts
+└── config/              # Environment configs
+```
+
+### Key Modules and Their Purpose
+
+- **User Management**: `src/services/userService.js` - Handles all user operations
+- **Authentication**: `src/middleware/auth.js` - JWT-based, custom implementation
+- **Payment Processing**: `src/legacy/payment.js` - CRITICAL: Do not refactor, tightly coupled
+- **[List other key modules with their actual files]**
+
+## Data Models and APIs
+
+### Data Models
+
+Instead of duplicating, reference actual model files:
+
+- **User Model**: See `src/models/User.js`
+- **Order Model**: See `src/models/Order.js`
+- **Related Types**: TypeScript definitions in `src/types/`
+
+### API Specifications
+
+- **OpenAPI Spec**: `docs/api/openapi.yaml` (if exists)
+- **Postman Collection**: `docs/api/postman-collection.json`
+- **Manual Endpoints**: [List any undocumented endpoints discovered]
+
+## Technical Debt and Known Issues
+
+### Critical Technical Debt
+
+1. **Payment Service**: Legacy code in `src/legacy/payment.js` - tightly coupled, no tests
+2. **User Service**: Different pattern than other services, uses callbacks instead of promises
+3. **Database Migrations**: Manually tracked, no proper migration tool
+4. **[Other significant debt]**
+
+### Workarounds and Gotchas
+
+- **Environment Variables**: Must set `NODE_ENV=production` even for staging (historical reason)
+- **Database Connections**: Connection pool hardcoded to 10, changing breaks payment service
+- **[Other workarounds developers need to know]**
+
+## Integration Points and External Dependencies
+
+### External Services
+
+| Service  | Purpose  | Integration Type | Key Files                      |
+| -------- | -------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------ |
+| Stripe   | Payments | REST API         | `src/integrations/stripe/`     |
+| SendGrid | Emails   | SDK              | `src/services/emailService.js` |
+
+etc...
+
+### Internal Integration Points
+
+- **Frontend Communication**: REST API on port 3000, expects specific headers
+- **Background Jobs**: Redis queue, see `src/workers/`
+- **[Other integrations]**
+
+## Development and Deployment
+
+### Local Development Setup
+
+1. Actual steps that work (not ideal steps)
+2. Known issues with setup
+3. Required environment variables (see `.env.example`)
+
+### Build and Deployment Process
+
+- **Build Command**: `npm run build` (webpack config in `webpack.config.js`)
+- **Deployment**: Manual deployment via `scripts/deploy.sh`
+- **Environments**: Dev, Staging, Prod (see `config/environments/`)
+
+## Testing Reality
+
+### Current Test Coverage
+
+- Unit Tests: 60% coverage (Jest)
+- Integration Tests: Minimal, in `tests/integration/`
+- E2E Tests: None
+- Manual Testing: Primary QA method
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+npm test           # Runs unit tests
+npm run test:integration  # Runs integration tests (requires local DB)
+```
+
+## If Enhancement PRD Provided - Impact Analysis
+
+### Files That Will Need Modification
+
+Based on the enhancement requirements, these files will be affected:
+
+- `src/services/userService.js` - Add new user fields
+- `src/models/User.js` - Update schema
+- `src/routes/userRoutes.js` - New endpoints
+- [etc...]
+
+### New Files/Modules Needed
+
+- `src/services/newFeatureService.js` - New business logic
+- `src/models/NewFeature.js` - New data model
+- [etc...]
+
+### Integration Considerations
+
+- Will need to integrate with existing auth middleware
+- Must follow existing response format in `src/utils/responseFormatter.js`
+- [Other integration points]
+
+## Appendix - Useful Commands and Scripts
+
+### Frequently Used Commands
+
+```bash
+npm run dev         # Start development server
+npm run build       # Production build
+npm run migrate     # Run database migrations
+npm run seed        # Seed test data
+```
+
+### Debugging and Troubleshooting
+
+- **Logs**: Check `logs/app.log` for application logs
+- **Debug Mode**: Set `DEBUG=app:*` for verbose logging
+- **Common Issues**: See `docs/troubleshooting.md`]]
+
+### 4. Document Delivery
+
+1. **In Web UI (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude)**:
+   - Present the entire document in one response (or multiple if too long)
+   - Tell user to copy and save as `docs/brownfield-architecture.md` or `docs/project-architecture.md`
+   - Mention it can be sharded later in IDE if needed
+
+2. **In IDE Environment**:
+   - Create the document as `docs/brownfield-architecture.md`
+   - Inform user this single document contains all architectural information
+   - Can be sharded later using PO agent if desired
+
+The document should be comprehensive enough that future agents can understand:
+
+- The actual state of the system (not idealized)
+- Where to find key files and logic
+- What technical debt exists
+- What constraints must be respected
+- If PRD provided: What needs to change for the enhancement]]
+
+### 5. Quality Assurance
+
+CRITICAL: Before finalizing the document:
+
+1. **Accuracy Check**: Verify all technical details match the actual codebase
+2. **Completeness Review**: Ensure all major system components are documented
+3. **Focus Validation**: If user provided scope, verify relevant areas are emphasized
+4. **Clarity Assessment**: Check that explanations are clear for AI agents
+5. **Navigation**: Ensure document has clear section structure for easy reference
+
+Apply the advanced elicitation task after major sections to refine based on user feedback.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- Single comprehensive brownfield architecture document created
+- Document reflects REALITY including technical debt and workarounds
+- Key files and modules are referenced with actual paths
+- Models/APIs reference source files rather than duplicating content
+- If PRD provided: Clear impact analysis showing what needs to change
+- Document enables AI agents to navigate and understand the actual codebase
+- Technical constraints and "gotchas" are clearly documented
+
+## Notes
+
+- This task creates ONE document that captures the TRUE state of the system
+- References actual files rather than duplicating content when possible
+- Documents technical debt, workarounds, and constraints honestly
+- For brownfield projects with PRD: Provides clear enhancement impact analysis
+- The goal is PRACTICAL documentation for AI agents doing real work

+
+# Checklist Validation Task
+
+This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
+
+## Available Checklists
+
+If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the .bmad-godot-game-dev/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Initial Assessment**
+   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
+     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
+     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
+     - Load the appropriate checklist from .bmad-godot-game-dev/checklists/
+   - If no checklist specified:
+     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
+     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
+   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
+     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
+     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
+
+2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
+   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
+   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
+
+3. **Checklist Processing**
+
+   If in interactive mode:
+   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
+   - For each section:
+     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
+     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
+     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
+     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
+
+   If in YOLO mode:
+   - Process all sections at once
+   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
+   - Present the complete analysis to the user
+
+4. **Validation Approach**
+
+   For each checklist item:
+   - Read and understand the requirement
+   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
+   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
+   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
+   - Mark items as:
+     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
+     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
+     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
+     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
+
+5. **Section Analysis**
+
+   For each section:
+   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
+   - Identify common themes in failed items
+   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
+   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
+   - Document any user decisions or explanations
+
+6. **Final Report**
+
+   Prepare a summary that includes:
+   - Overall checklist completion status
+   - Pass rates by section
+   - List of failed items with context
+   - Specific recommendations for improvement
+   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
+
+## Checklist Execution Methodology
+
+Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
+
+1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
+2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
+3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
+4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
+
+The LLM will:
+
+- Execute the complete checklist validation
+- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
+- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

+
+# Facilitate Brainstorming Session Task
+
+Facilitate interactive brainstorming sessions with users. Be creative and adaptive in applying techniques.
+
+## Process
+
+### Step 1: Session Setup
+
+Ask 4 context questions (don't preview what happens next):
+
+1. What are we brainstorming about?
+2. Any constraints or parameters?
+3. Goal: broad exploration or focused ideation?
+4. Do you want a structured document output to reference later? (Default Yes)
+
+### Step 2: Present Approach Options
+
+After getting answers to Step 1, present 4 approach options (numbered):
+
+1. User selects specific techniques
+2. Analyst recommends techniques based on context
+3. Random technique selection for creative variety
+4. Progressive technique flow (start broad, narrow down)
+
+### Step 3: Execute Techniques Interactively
+
+**KEY PRINCIPLES:**
+
+- **FACILITATOR ROLE**: Guide user to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples
+- **CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT**: Keep user engaged with chosen technique until they want to switch or are satisfied
+- **CAPTURE OUTPUT**: If (default) document output requested, capture all ideas generated in each technique section to the document from the beginning.
+
+**Technique Selection:**
+If user selects Option 1, present numbered list of techniques from the brainstorming-techniques data file. User can select by number..
+
+**Technique Execution:**
+
+1. Apply selected technique according to data file description
+2. Keep engaging with technique until user indicates they want to:
+   - Choose a different technique
+   - Apply current ideas to a new technique
+   - Move to convergent phase
+   - End session
+
+**Output Capture (if requested):**
+For each technique used, capture:
+
+- Technique name and duration
+- Key ideas generated by user
+- Insights and patterns identified
+- User's reflections on the process
+
+### Step 4: Session Flow
+
+1. **Warm-up** (5-10 min) - Build creative confidence
+2. **Divergent** (20-30 min) - Generate quantity over quality
+3. **Convergent** (15-20 min) - Group and categorize ideas
+4. **Synthesis** (10-15 min) - Refine and develop concepts
+
+### Step 5: Document Output (if requested)
+
+Generate structured document with these sections:
+
+**Executive Summary**
+
+- Session topic and goals
+- Techniques used and duration
+- Total ideas generated
+- Key themes and patterns identified
+
+**Technique Sections** (for each technique used)
+
+- Technique name and description
+- Ideas generated (user's own words)
+- Insights discovered
+- Notable connections or patterns
+
+**Idea Categorization**
+
+- **Immediate Opportunities** - Ready to implement now
+- **Future Innovations** - Requires development/research
+- **Moonshots** - Ambitious, transformative concepts
+- **Insights & Learnings** - Key realizations from session
+
+**Action Planning**
+
+- Top 3 priority ideas with rationale
+- Next steps for each priority
+- Resources/research needed
+- Timeline considerations
+
+**Reflection & Follow-up**
+
+- What worked well in this session
+- Areas for further exploration
+- Recommended follow-up techniques
+- Questions that emerged for future sessions
+
+## Key Principles
+
+- **YOU ARE A FACILITATOR**: Guide the user to brainstorm, don't brainstorm for them (unless they request it persistently)
+- **INTERACTIVE DIALOGUE**: Ask questions, wait for responses, build on their ideas
+- **ONE TECHNIQUE AT A TIME**: Don't mix multiple techniques in one response
+- **CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT**: Stay with one technique until user wants to switch
+- **DRAW IDEAS OUT**: Use prompts and examples to help them generate their own ideas
+- **REAL-TIME ADAPTATION**: Monitor engagement and adjust approach as needed
+- Maintain energy and momentum
+- Defer judgment during generation
+- Quantity leads to quality (aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes)
+- Build on ideas collaboratively
+- Document everything in output document
+
+## Advanced Engagement Strategies
+
+**Energy Management**
+
+- Check engagement levels: "How are you feeling about this direction?"
+- Offer breaks or technique switches if energy flags
+- Use encouraging language and celebrate idea generation
+
+**Depth vs. Breadth**
+
+- Ask follow-up questions to deepen ideas: "Tell me more about that..."
+- Use "Yes, and..." to build on their ideas
+- Help them make connections: "How does this relate to your earlier idea about...?"
+
+**Transition Management**
+
+- Always ask before switching techniques: "Ready to try a different approach?"
+- Offer options: "Should we explore this idea deeper or generate more alternatives?"
+- Respect their process and timing

+#### Game Concept Expansion Techniques
+
+1. **"What If" Game Scenarios**
+   [[LLM: Generate provocative what-if questions that challenge game design assumptions and expand thinking beyond current genre limitations.]]
+   - What if players could rewind time in any genre?
+   - What if the game world reacted to the player's real-world location?
+   - What if failure was more rewarding than success?
+   - What if players controlled the antagonist instead?
+   - What if the game played itself when no one was watching?
+
+2. **Cross-Genre Fusion**
+   [[LLM: Help user combine unexpected game genres and mechanics to create unique experiences.]]
+   - "How might [genre A] mechanics work in [genre B]?"

+   - What if progress meant giving up abilities?
+
+4. **Core Loop Deconstruction**
+   [[LLM: Break down successful games to fundamental mechanics and rebuild differently.]]
+   - What are the essential 3 actions in this game type?
+   - How could we make each action more interesting?

+   - **A** = Adapt: What mechanics from other media? (books, movies, sports)
+   - **M** = Modify/Magnify: What can be exaggerated? (super speed, massive scale)
+   - **P** = Put to other uses: What else could this mechanic do? (jumping → attacking)
+   - **E** = Eliminate: What can be removed? (UI, tutorials, fail states)
+   - **R** = Reverse/Rearrange: What sequence changes? (end-to-start, simultaneous)
+
+2. **Player Agency Spectrum**
+   [[LLM: Explore different levels of player control and agency across game systems.]]
+   - Full Control: Direct character movement, combat, building

+   - How does the environment show history?
+   - What do interactive objects reveal about characters?
+   - How can level design communicate mood?
+   - What stories do systems and mechanics tell?
+
+2. **Player-Generated Narrative**
+   [[LLM: Explore ways players create their own stories through gameplay.]]
+   - Emergent storytelling through player choices
+   - Procedural narrative generation
+   - Player-to-player story sharing
+   - Community-driven world events

+- Multiplayer features added
+```
+
+## Risk Scoring Algorithm
+
+Calculate overall story risk score:
+
+```text
+Base Score = 100
+For each risk:
+  - Critical (9): Deduct 20 points
+  - High (6): Deduct 10 points
+  - Medium (4): Deduct 5 points
+  - Low (2-3): Deduct 2 points
+
+Minimum score = 0 (extremely risky)
+Maximum score = 100 (minimal risk)
+```
+
+## Risk-Based Recommendations
+
+Based on risk profile, recommend:
+
+1. **Testing Priority**
+   - Which tests to run first
+   - Additional test types needed
+   - Test environment requirements
+
+2. **Development Focus**
+   - Code review emphasis areas
+   - Additional validation needed
+   - Security controls to implement
+
+3. **Deployment Strategy**
+   - Phased rollout for high-risk changes
+   - Feature flags for risky features
+   - Rollback procedures
+
+4. **Monitoring Setup**
+   - Metrics to track
+   - Alerts to configure
+   - Dashboard requirements
+
+## Integration with Quality Gates
+
+**Deterministic gate mapping:**
+
+- Any risk with score ≥ 9 → Gate = FAIL (unless waived)
+- Else if any score ≥ 6 → Gate = CONCERNS
+- Else → Gate = PASS
+- Unmitigated risks → Document in gate
+
+### Output 3: Story Hook Line

+    - GodotTestDriver # UI automation and integration testing
+```
+
+## Godot Testing Frameworks
+
+### GUT (Godot Unit Test) - GDScript
+
+- **Best for**: Game logic, state machines, inventory systems, damage calculations
+- **Setup**: Install via AssetLib or GitHub
+- **Test location**: `res://tests/unit/`
+- **Example**: Testing player health system, weapon damage modifiers
+
+### GoDotTest - C#
+
+- **Best for**: C# game systems, complex algorithms, data structures
+- **Setup**: NuGet package with xUnit integration
+- **Test location**: `tests/` directory in project root
+- **Example**: Testing procedural generation, AI decision trees
+
+### GodotTestDriver - C#
+
+- **Best for**: UI automation, integration testing, scene transitions
+- **Setup**: NuGet package for UI testing
+- **Test location**: `tests/integration/`
+- **Example**: Testing menu navigation, save/load flows, multiplayer lobbies
+
+## Process
+
+### 1. Analyze Story Requirements
+
+Break down each acceptance criterion into testable game scenarios. For each AC:
+
+- Identify the core game mechanic or system to test
+- Determine input variations (controls, player actions)
+- Consider edge cases (collision boundaries, resource limits)
+- Note platform-specific behaviors
+- Identify performance requirements (FPS, memory)
+
+### 2. Apply Game Test Level Framework
+
+**Reference:** Load `game-test-levels-framework.md` for detailed criteria
+
+Quick rules for Godot:
+
+- **Unit Tests (GUT/GoDotTest)**: Game logic, damage calculations, inventory systems, state machines
+- **Integration Tests (GUT/GodotTestDriver)**: Scene interactions, signal connections, save/load, physics
+- **Playtesting**: Full gameplay loops, difficulty balance, fun factor, performance on target hardware
+
+### 3. Assign Priorities
+
+**Reference:** Load `test-priorities-matrix.md` for classification
+
+Quick priority assignment for games:
+
+- **P0**: Game-breaking bugs, save corruption, core mechanics, progression blockers
+- **P1**: Combat systems, player movement, UI responsiveness, multiplayer sync
+- **P2**: Visual effects, audio, achievements, secondary mechanics
+- **P3**: Cosmetics, easter eggs, optional content
+
+### 4. Design Test Scenarios
+
+For each identified test need, create:
+
+```yaml
+test_scenario:
+  id: '{epic}.{story}-{LEVEL}-{SEQ}'
+  requirement: 'AC reference'
+  priority: P0|P1|P2|P3
+  level: unit|integration|playtest
+  framework: GUT|GoDotTest|GodotTestDriver|Manual
+  description: 'What game feature/mechanic is being tested'
+  justification: 'Why this level and framework were chosen'
+  test_scene: 'res://tests/{TestSceneName}.tscn' # For automated tests
+  mitigates_risks: ['PERF-001', 'GAME-002'] # From risk profile
+```
+
+### 5. Validate Coverage
+
+Ensure:
+
+- Every AC has at least one test
+- No duplicate coverage across levels
+- Critical paths have multiple levels
+- Risk mitigations are addressed
+

+## Game Testing Quality Checklist
+
+Before finalizing, verify:
+
+- [ ] Every AC has test coverage
+- [ ] Test frameworks match language (GUT for GDScript, GoDotTest for C#)
+- [ ] Physics and collision tests use proper test scenes
+- [ ] Performance tests target minimum spec hardware
+- [ ] Multiplayer tests cover desync scenarios
+- [ ] Save/load tests verify data integrity
+- [ ] Platform-specific tests for each export target
+- [ ] Test scenes are properly organized in res://tests/
+
+## Key Game Testing Principles
+
+- **Shift left**: Test game logic early with GUT/GoDotTest before full integration
+- **Performance first**: Profile early and often, test on min spec
+- **Player experience**: Balance automated tests with human playtesting
+- **Framework selection**: GUT for GDScript game logic, GoDotTest for C# systems, GodotTestDriver for UI
+- **Scene isolation**: Test components in minimal scenes to reduce dependencies
+- **Fast feedback**: Unit tests in CI/CD, integration tests nightly, playtests per sprint
+- **Platform coverage**: Test exports on all target platforms regularly

+# Create AI Frontend Prompt Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+To generate a masterful, comprehensive, and optimized prompt that can be used with any AI-driven frontend development tool (e.g., Vercel v0, Lovable.ai, or similar) to scaffold or generate significant portions of a frontend application.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec.md`)
+- Completed Frontend Architecture Document (`front-end-architecture`) or a full stack combined architecture such as `architecture.md`
+- Main System Architecture Document (`architecture` - for API contracts and tech stack to give further context)
+
+## Key Activities & Instructions
+
+### 1. Core Prompting Principles
+
+Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code.
+
+- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs.
+- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results.
+- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals.
+- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop.
+
+### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework
+
+To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework.
+
+1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task.
+   - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_
+2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt.
+   - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_
+3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do.
+   - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_
+4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase.
+   - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_
+
+### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt
+
+You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt.
+
+1. **Gather Foundational Context**:
+   - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used.
+2. **Describe the Visuals**:
+   - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots.
+   - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful").
+3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**:
+   - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page.
+4. **Present and Refine**:
+   - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block).
+   - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above.
+   - <important_note>Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready.</important_note>

+# review-game-story
+
+Perform a comprehensive Godot game story review with quality gate decision, focusing on TDD compliance, 60+ FPS performance validation, and GDScript/C# language strategy. This adaptive, risk-aware review creates both a story update and a detailed gate file.
+
+## Inputs
+
+```yaml
+required:
+  - story_id: '{epic}.{story}' # e.g., "1.3"
+  - story_path: '{devStoryLocation}/{epic}.{story}.*.md' # Path from core-config.yaml
+  - story_title: '{title}' # If missing, derive from story file H1

+
+### Gate Decision Criteria
+
+**Deterministic rule (apply in order):**
+
+If risk_summary exists, apply its thresholds first (≥9 → FAIL, ≥6 → CONCERNS), then NFR statuses, then top_issues severity.
+
+1. **Risk thresholds (if risk_summary present):**
+   - If any risk score ≥ 9 → Gate = FAIL (unless waived)
+   - Else if any score ≥ 6 → Gate = CONCERNS
+
+2. **Test coverage gaps (if trace available):**
+   - If any P0 test from test-design is missing → Gate = CONCERNS
+   - If security/data-loss P0 test missing → Gate = FAIL
+
+3. **Issue severity:**
+   - If any `top_issues.severity == high` → Gate = FAIL (unless waived)
+   - Else if any `severity == medium` → Gate = CONCERNS
+
+4. **NFR statuses:**
+   - If any NFR status is FAIL → Gate = FAIL
+   - Else if any NFR status is CONCERNS → Gate = CONCERNS
+   - Else → Gate = PASS
+
+- WAIVED only when waiver.active: true with reason/approver
+
+Detailed criteria:
+
+- **PASS**: All critical requirements met, no blocking issues
+- **CONCERNS**: Non-critical issues found, team should review
+- **FAIL**: Critical issues that should be addressed
+- **WAIVED**: Issues acknowledged but explicitly waived by team
+
+### Quality Score Calculation
+
+```text
+quality_score = 100 - (20 × number of FAILs) - (10 × number of CONCERNS)
+Bounded between 0 and 100
+```
+
+If `technical-preferences.md` defines custom weights, use those instead.
+
+### Suggested Owner Convention
+
+For each issue in `top_issues`, include a `suggested_owner`:
+
+- `dev`: Code changes needed
+- `sm`: Requirements clarification needed
+- `po`: Business decision needed
+
+## Key Principles
+
+- You are a Godot Game Test Architect ensuring 60+ FPS and TDD compliance
+- You enforce static typing in GDScript and optimization in C#
+- You have authority to add object pooling and optimize performance
+- Always validate with Godot profiler data
+- Focus on performance-based prioritization
+- Ensure GUT/GoDotTest coverage meets 80% target
+- Provide actionable Godot-specific recommendations
+
+## Blocking Conditions
+
+Stop the review and request clarification if:
+
+- Performance drops below 60 FPS
+- No TDD tests (GUT/GoDotTest) exist
+- Story file is incomplete or missing critical sections
+- File List is empty or clearly incomplete
+- Language strategy violated without justification
+- Object pooling missing for frequently spawned entities
+- Critical node architecture issues that require discussion
+
+## Completion
+
+After review:
+
+1. Update the QA Results section in the story file
+2. Create the gate file in `docs/qa/gates/`
+3. Recommend status: "Ready for Done" or "Changes Required" (owner decides)
+4. If files were modified, list them in QA Results and ask Dev to update File List
+5. Always provide constructive feedback and actionable recommendations

+[[LLM: First, check if markdownExploder is set to true in .bmad-godot-game-dev/config.yaml. If it is, attempt to run the command: `md-tree explode {input file} {output path}`.
+
+If the command succeeds, inform the user that the document has been sharded successfully and STOP - do not proceed further.
+
+If the command fails (especially with an error indicating the command is not found or not available), inform the user: "The markdownExploder setting is enabled but the md-tree command is not available. Please either:
+
+1. Install @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser globally with: `npm install -g @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser`
+2. Or set markdownExploder to false in .bmad-godot-game-dev/config.yaml
+
+**IMPORTANT: STOP HERE - do not proceed with manual sharding until one of the above actions is taken.**"
+
+If markdownExploder is set to false, inform the user: "The markdownExploder setting is currently false. For better performance and reliability, you should:
+
+1. Set markdownExploder to true in .bmad-godot-game-dev/config.yaml
+2. Install @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser globally with: `npm install -g @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser`
+
+I will now proceed with the manual sharding process."
+
+Then proceed with the manual method below ONLY if markdownExploder is false.]]
+
+### Installation and Usage
+
+1. **Install globally**:
+
+   ```bash
+   npm install -g @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser
+   ```
+
+2. **Use the explode command**:
+
+   ```bash
+   # For PRD
+   md-tree explode docs/prd.md docs/prd
+
+   # For Architecture
+   md-tree explode docs/architecture.md docs/architecture
+
+   # For any document
+   md-tree explode [source-document] [destination-folder]
+   ```
+
+3. **What it does**:
+   - Automatically splits the document by level 2 sections
+   - Creates properly named files
+   - Adjusts heading levels appropriately
+   - Handles all edge cases with code blocks and special markdown
+
+If the user has @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser installed, use it and skip the manual process below.
+
+---
+
+## Manual Method (if @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser is not available or user indicated manual method)
+
+### Task Instructions
+
+1. Identify Document and Target Location
+
+- Determine which document to shard (user-provided path)
+- Create a new folder under `docs/` with the same name as the document (without extension)
+- Example: `docs/prd.md` → create folder `docs/prd/`
+
+2. Parse and Extract Sections
+
+CRITICAL AEGNT SHARDING RULES:
+
+1. Read the entire document content
+2. Identify all level 2 sections (## headings)
+3. For each level 2 section:
+   - Extract the section heading and ALL content until the next level 2 section
+   - Include all subsections, code blocks, diagrams, lists, tables, etc.
+   - Be extremely careful with:
+     - Fenced code blocks (```) - ensure you capture the full block including closing backticks and account for potential misleading level 2's that are actually part of a fenced section example
+     - Mermaid diagrams - preserve the complete diagram syntax
+     - Nested markdown elements
+     - Multi-line content that might contain ## inside code blocks
+
+CRITICAL: Use proper parsing that understands markdown context. A ## inside a code block is NOT a section header.]]
+
+### 3. Create Individual Files
+
+For each extracted section:
+
+1. **Generate filename**: Convert the section heading to lowercase-dash-case
+   - Remove special characters
+   - Replace spaces with dashes
+   - Example: "## Tech Stack" → `tech-stack.md`
+
+2. **Adjust heading levels**:
+   - The level 2 heading becomes level 1 (# instead of ##) in the sharded new document
+   - All subsection levels decrease by 1:
+
+   ```txt
+     - ### → ##
+     - #### → ###
+     - ##### → ####
+     - etc.
+   ```
+
+3. **Write content**: Save the adjusted content to the new file
+
+### 4. Create Index File
+
+Create an `index.md` file in the sharded folder that:
+
+1. Contains the original level 1 heading and any content before the first level 2 section
+2. Lists all the sharded files with links:
+
+```markdown
+# Original Document Title
+
+[Original introduction content if any]
+
+## Sections
+
+- [Section Name 1](./section-name-1.md)
+- [Section Name 2](./section-name-2.md)
+- [Section Name 3](./section-name-3.md)
+  ...
+```
+
+### 5. Preserve Special Content
+
+1. **Code blocks**: Must capture complete blocks including:
+
+   ```language
+   content
+   ```
+
+2. **Mermaid diagrams**: Preserve complete syntax:
+
+   ```mermaid
+   graph TD
+   ...
+   ```
+
+3. **Tables**: Maintain proper markdown table formatting
+
+4. **Lists**: Preserve indentation and nesting
+
+5. **Inline code**: Preserve backticks
+
+6. **Links and references**: Keep all markdown links intact
+
+7. **Template markup**: If documents contain {{placeholders}} ,preserve exactly
+
+### 6. Validation
+
+After sharding:
+
+1. Verify all sections were extracted
+2. Check that no content was lost
+3. Ensure heading levels were properly adjusted
+4. Confirm all files were created successfully
+
+### 7. Report Results
+
+Provide a summary:
+
+```text
+Document sharded successfully:
+- Source: [original document path]
+- Destination: docs/[folder-name]/
+- Files created: [count]
+- Sections:
+  - section-name-1.md: "Section Title 1"
+  - section-name-2.md: "Section Title 2"
+  ...
+```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- Never modify the actual content, only adjust heading levels
+- Preserve ALL formatting, including whitespace where significant
+- Handle edge cases like sections with code blocks containing ## symbols
+- Ensure the sharding is reversible (could reconstruct the original from shards)

+# Validate Game Story Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+To comprehensively validate a Godot game development story draft before implementation begins, ensuring it contains all necessary Godot-specific technical context (node architecture, GDScript/C# language strategy, 60+ FPS performance targets), TDD requirements (GUT/GoDotTest), and implementation details. This specialized validation prevents hallucinations, ensures Godot development readiness, and validates game-specific acceptance criteria and testing approaches.
+

+      IMPORTANT - SCOPE ASSESSMENT REQUIRED:
+
+      This PRD is for SIGNIFICANT enhancements to existing projects that require comprehensive planning and multiple stories. Before proceeding:
+
+      1. **Assess Enhancement Complexity**: If this is a simple feature addition or bug fix that could be completed in 1-2 focused development sessions, STOP and recommend: "For simpler changes, consider using the brownfield-create-epic or brownfield-create-story task with the Product Owner instead. This full PRD process is designed for substantial enhancements that require architectural planning and multiple coordinated stories."
+
+      2. **Project Context**: Determine if we're working in an IDE with the project already loaded or if the user needs to provide project information. If project files are available, analyze existing documentation in the docs folder. If insufficient documentation exists, recommend running the document-project task first.
+
+      3. **Deep Assessment Requirement**: You MUST thoroughly analyze the existing project structure, patterns, and constraints before making ANY suggestions. Every recommendation must be grounded in actual project analysis, not assumptions.
+
+      Gather comprehensive information about the existing project. This section must be completed before proceeding with requirements.
+
+      CRITICAL: Throughout this analysis, explicitly confirm your understanding with the user. For every assumption you make about the existing project, ask: "Based on my analysis, I understand that [assumption]. Is this correct?"
+
+      Do not proceed with any recommendations until the user has validated your understanding of the existing system.
