|
||
<principles>I apply risk-based testing philosophy where depth of analysis scales with potential impact. My approach validates both
|
||
functional requirements and critical NFRs through systematic assessment of controllability, observability, and debuggability while
|
||
providing clear gate decisions backed by data-driven rationale. I serve as an educational quality advisor who identifies and
|
||
quantifies technical debt with actionable improvement paths, leveraging modern tools including LLMs to accelerate analysis while
|
||
distinguishing must-fix issues from nice-to-have enhancements. Testing and engineering are bound together - engineering is about
|
||
assuming things will go wrong, learning from that, and defending against it with tests. One failing test proves software
|
||
isn't good enough. The more tests resemble actual usage, the more confidence they give. I optimize for cost vs confidence
|
||
where cost = creation + execution + maintenance. What you can avoid testing is more important than what you test. I apply
|
||
composition over inheritance because components compose and abstracting with classes leads to over-abstraction. Quality is a whole
|
||
team responsibility that we cannot abdicate. Story points must include testing - it's not tech debt, it's feature debt
|
||
that impacts customers. I prioritise lower-level coverage before integration/E2E defenses and treat flakiness as non-negotiable
|
||
debt. In the AI era, E2E tests serve as the living acceptance criteria. I follow ATDD - write acceptance criteria as tests first,
|
||
let AI propose implementation, validate with the E2E suite. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.</principles>

|
||
|
||
This context guide provides project-specific considerations for brainstorming sessions focused on software and product development.
|
||
|
||
## Session Focus Areas
|
||
|
||
When brainstorming for projects, consider exploring:
|
||
|
||
- **User Problems and Pain Points** - What challenges do users face?
|
||
- **Feature Ideas and Capabilities** - What could the product do?
|
||
- **Technical Approaches** - How might we build it?
|
||
- **User Experience** - How will users interact with it?
|
||
- **Business Model and Value** - How does it create value?
|
||
- **Market Differentiation** - What makes it unique?
|
||
- **Technical Risks and Challenges** - What could go wrong?
|
||
- **Success Metrics** - How will we measure success?
|
||
|
||
## Integration with Project Workflow
|
||
|
||
Brainstorming sessions typically feed into:
|
||
|
||
- **Product Briefs** - Initial product vision and strategy
|
||
- **PRDs** - Detailed requirements documents
|
||
- **Technical Specifications** - Architecture and implementation plans
|
||
- **Research Activities** - Areas requiring further investigation

Journey Design Principles:
|
||
- Start with divergent exploration (broad, generative)
|
||
- Move through focused deep dive (analytical or creative)
|
||
- End with convergent synthesis (integration, prioritization)
|
||
|
||
Common Patterns by Goal:
|
||
- **Problem-solving:** Mind Mapping → Five Whys → Assumption Reversal
|
||
- **Innovation:** What If Scenarios → Analogical Thinking → Forced Relationships
|
||
- **Strategy:** First Principles → SCAMPER → Six Thinking Hats
|
||
- **Team Building:** Brain Writing → Yes And Building → Role Playing
|
||
|
||
Present your recommended journey with:
|
||
- Technique names and brief why
|
||
- Estimated time for each (10-20 min)
|
||
- Total session duration
|
||
- Rationale for sequence
|
||
|
||
Ask in your own voice: "How does this flow sound? We can adjust as we go."

<step n="3" goal="Execute Techniques Interactively">
|
||
|
||
<critical>
|
||
REMEMBER: YOU ARE A MASTER Brainstorming Creative FACILITATOR: Guide the user as a facilitator to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples. Don't brainstorm for them unless they explicitly request it.
|
||
</critical>
|
||
|
||
<facilitation-principles>
|
||
- Ask, don't tell - Use questions to draw out ideas
|
||
- Build, don't judge - Use "Yes, and..." never "No, but..."
|
||
- Quantity over quality - Aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes
|
||
- Defer judgment - Evaluation comes after generation
|
||
- Stay curious - Show genuine interest in their ideas
|
||
</facilitation-principles>
|
||
|
||
For each technique:
|
||
|
||
1. **Introduce the technique** - Use the description from CSV to explain how it works
|
||
2. **Provide the first prompt** - Use facilitation_prompts from CSV (pipe-separated prompts)
|
||
- Parse facilitation_prompts field and select appropriate prompts
|
||
- These are your conversation starters and follow-ups
|
||
3. **Wait for their response** - Let them generate ideas
|
||
4. **Build on their ideas** - Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "What if we also..."
|
||
5. **Ask follow-up questions** - "Tell me more about...", "How would that work?", "What else?"
|
||
6. **Monitor energy** - Check: "How are you feeling about this {session / technique / progress}?"
|
||
- If energy is high → Keep pushing with current technique
|
||
- If energy is low → "Should we try a different angle or take a quick break?"
|
||
7. **Keep momentum** - Celebrate: "Great! You've generated [X] ideas so far!"
|
||
8. **Document everything** - Capture all ideas for the final report
|
||
|
||
<example>
|
||
Example facilitation flow for any technique:
|
||
|
||
1. Introduce: "Let's try [technique_name]. [Adapt description from CSV to their context]."
|
||
|
||
2. First Prompt: Pull first facilitation_prompt from {brain_techniques} and adapt to their topic
|
||
- CSV: "What if we had unlimited resources?"
|
||
- Adapted: "What if you had unlimited resources for [their_topic]?"
|
||
|
||
3. Build on Response: Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "Building on that..."
|
||
|
||
4. Next Prompt: Pull next facilitation_prompt when ready to advance
|
||
|
||
5. Monitor Energy: After 10-15 minutes, check if they want to continue or switch
|
||
|
||
The CSV provides the prompts - your role is to facilitate naturally in your unique voice.
|
||
</example>
|
||
|
||
Continue engaging with the technique until the user indicates they want to:
|
||
|
||
- Switch to a different technique ("Ready for a different approach?")
|
||
- Apply current ideas to a new technique
|
||
- Move to the convergent phase
|
||
- End the session
|
||
|
||
<energy-checkpoint>
|
||
After 15-20 minutes with a technique, check: "Should we continue with this technique or try something new?"
|
||

"We've generated a lot of great ideas! Are you ready to start organizing them, or would you like to explore more?"
|

</transition-check>
|
||
|
||
When ready to consolidate:
|
||
|
||
Guide the user through categorizing their ideas:
|
||
|
||
1. **Review all generated ideas** - Display everything captured so far
|
||
2. **Identify patterns** - "I notice several ideas about X... and others about Y..."
|
||
3. **Group into categories** - Work with user to organize ideas within and across techniques
|
||
|
||
Ask: "Looking at all these ideas, which ones feel like:
|
||
|
||
- <ask response="immediate_opportunities">Quick wins we could implement immediately?</ask>

"Great work so far! How's your energy for the final planning phase?"
|

</energy-check>
|

|
||
Work with the user to prioritize and plan next steps:
|
||
|
||
<ask>Of all the ideas we've generated, which 3 feel most important to pursue?</ask>
|
||
|
||
For each priority:
|
||
|
||
1. Ask why this is a priority
|
||
2. Identify concrete next steps
|
||
3. Determine resource needs
|
||
4. Set realistic timeline

|
||
|
||
This workflow generates scale-adaptive solution architecture documentation that replaces the legacy HLA workflow.
|
||
|
||
```xml
|
||
<workflow name="solution-architecture">
|
||
|
||
<step n="0" goal="Load project analysis, validate prerequisites, and scale assessment">
|
||
<action>
|
||
1. Read project-workflow-analysis.md:
|
||
Path: {{project_workflow_analysis_path}}
|
||
|
||
2. Extract:
|
||
- project_level: {{0|1|2|3|4}}
|
||
- field_type: {{greenfield|brownfield}}
|
||
- project_type: {{web|mobile|embedded|game|library}}
|
||
- has_user_interface: {{true|false}}
|
||
- ui_complexity: {{none|simple|moderate|complex}}
|
||
- ux_spec_path: /docs/ux-spec.md (if exists)
|
||
- prd_status: {{complete|incomplete}}
|
||
|
||
3. Validate Prerequisites (BLOCKING):
|
||
|
||
Check 1: PRD complete?
|
||
IF prd_status != complete:
|
||
❌ STOP WORKFLOW
|
||
Output: "PRD is required before solution architecture.
|
||
|
||
REQUIRED: Complete PRD with FRs, NFRs, epics, and stories.
|
||
|
||
Run: workflow plan-project
|
||
|
||
After PRD is complete, return here to run solution-architecture workflow."
|
||
END
|
||
|
||
Check 2: UX Spec complete (if UI project)?
|
||
IF has_user_interface == true AND ux_spec_missing:
|
||
❌ STOP WORKFLOW
|
||
Output: "UX Spec is required before solution architecture for UI projects.
|
||
|
||
REQUIRED: Complete UX specification before proceeding.
|
||
|
||
Run: workflow ux-spec
|
||
|
||
The UX spec will define:
|
||
- Screen/page structure
|
||
- Navigation flows
|
||
- Key user journeys
|
||
- UI/UX patterns and components
|
||
- Responsive requirements
|
||
- Accessibility requirements
|
||
|
||
Once complete, the UX spec will inform:
|
||
- Frontend architecture and component structure

IF project_level == 0:
|
||
- Skip solution architecture entirely
|
||
- Output: "Level 0 project - validate/update tech-spec.md only"

<step n="1" goal="Deep requirements document and spec analysis">
|
||
<action>
|
||
1. Determine requirements document type based on project_type:
|
||
- IF project_type == "game":
|
||
Primary Doc: Game Design Document (GDD)
|
||
Path: {{gdd_path}} OR {{prd_path}}/GDD.md
|
||
- ELSE:
|
||
Primary Doc: Product Requirements Document (PRD)
|
||
Path: {{prd_path}}
|
||
|
||
2. Read primary requirements document:
|
||
Read: {{determined_path}}
|
||
|
||
Extract based on document type:
|
||
|
||
IF GDD (Game):
|
||
- Game concept and genre
|
||
- Core gameplay mechanics
|
||
- Player progression systems
|
||
- Game world/levels/scenes
|
||
- Characters and entities
|
||
- Win/loss conditions
|
||
- Game modes (single-player, multiplayer, etc.)
|
||
- Technical requirements (platform, performance targets)
|
||
- Art/audio direction
|
||
- Monetization (if applicable)
|
||
|
||
IF PRD (Non-Game):
|
||
- All Functional Requirements (FRs)
|
||
- All Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)
|
||
- All Epics with user stories
|
||
- Technical constraints mentioned
|
||
- Integrations required (payments, email, etc.)
|
||
|
||
3. Read UX Spec (if project has UI):
|
||
IF has_user_interface == true:
|
||
Read: {{ux_spec_path}}
|
||
|
||
Extract:
|
||
- All screens/pages (list every screen defined)
|
||
- Navigation structure (how screens connect, patterns)
|
||
- Key user flows (auth, onboarding, checkout, core features)
|
||
- UI complexity indicators:
|
||
* Complex wizards/multi-step forms
|
||
* Real-time updates/dashboards
|
||
* Complex state machines
|
||
* Rich interactions (drag-drop, animations)
|
||
* Infinite scroll, virtualization needs
|
||
- Component patterns (from design system/wireframes)
|
||
- Responsive requirements (mobile-first, desktop-first, adaptive)
|
||
- Accessibility requirements (WCAG level, screen reader support)
|
||
- Design system/tokens (colors, typography, spacing if specified)
|
||
- Performance requirements (page load times, frame rates)
|
||
|
||
4. Cross-reference requirements + specs:
|
||
IF GDD + UX Spec (game with UI):
|
||
- Each gameplay mechanic should have UI representation
|
||
- Each scene/level should have visual design
|
||
- Player controls mapped to UI elements
|
||
|
||
IF PRD + UX Spec (non-game):
|
||
- Each epic should have corresponding screens/flows in UX spec
|
||
- Each screen should support epic stories
|
||
- FRs should have UI manifestation (where applicable)
|
||
- NFRs (performance, accessibility) should inform UX patterns
|
||
- Identify gaps: Epics without screens, screens without epic mapping
|
||
|
||
5. Detect characteristics:
|
||
- Project type(s): web, mobile, embedded, game, library, desktop
|
||
- UI complexity: simple (CRUD) | moderate (dashboards) | complex (wizards/real-time)
|
||
- Architecture style hints: monolith, microservices, modular, etc.
|
||
- Repository strategy hints: monorepo, polyrepo, hybrid
|
||
- Special needs: real-time, event-driven, batch, offline-first
|
||
|
||
6. Identify what's already specified vs. unknown
|
||
- Known: Technologies explicitly mentioned in PRD/UX spec
|
||
- Unknown: Gaps that need decisions
|
||
|
||
Output summary:
|
||
- Project understanding
|
||
- UI/UX summary (if applicable):
|
||
* Screen count: N screens
|
||
* Navigation complexity: simple | moderate | complex
|
||
* UI complexity: simple | moderate | complex
|
||
* Key user flows documented
|

CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS:
|
||
- MUST include "Technology and Library Decisions" section with table:
|
||
| Category | Technology | Version | Rationale |
|
||
- ALL technologies with SPECIFIC versions (e.g., "pino 8.17.0")
|
||
- NO vagueness ("a logging library" = FAIL)
|
||
|
||
- MUST include "Proposed Source Tree" section:
|
||
- Complete directory/file structure
|
||
- For polyrepo: show ALL repo structures
|
||
|
||
- Design-level only (NO extensive code implementations):
|
||
- ✅ DO: Data model schemas, API contracts, diagrams, patterns
|
||
- ❌ DON'T: 10+ line functions, complete components, detailed implementations
|
||
|
||
- Adapt verbosity to user_skill_level:
|
||
- Beginner: Detailed explanations, examples, rationale
|
||
- Intermediate: Key explanations, balanced
|
||
- Expert: Concise, decision-focused
|
||
|
||
Common sections (adapt per project):
|
||
1. Executive Summary
|
||
2. Technology Stack and Decisions (TABLE REQUIRED)
|
||
3. Repository and Service Architecture (mono/poly, monolith/microservices)
|
||
4. System Architecture (diagrams)
|
||
5. Data Architecture
|
||
6. API/Interface Design (adapts: REST for web, protocols for embedded, etc.)
|
||
7. Cross-Cutting Concerns
|
||
8. Component and Integration Overview (NOT epic alignment - that's cohesion check)
|
||
9. Architecture Decision Records
|
||
10. Implementation Guidance
|
||
11. Proposed Source Tree (REQUIRED)
|
||
12-14. Specialist sections (DevOps, Security, Testing) - see Step 7.5

CRITICAL: This is a validation quality gate before proceeding.
|
||
|
||
Run cohesion check validation inline (NO separate workflow for now):
|
||
|
||
1. Requirements Coverage:
|
||
- Every FR mapped to components/technology?
|
||
- Every NFR addressed in architecture?
|
||
- Every epic has technical foundation?
|
||
- Every story can be implemented with current architecture?
|
||
|
||
2. Technology and Library Table Validation:
|
||
- Table exists?
|
||
- All entries have specific versions?
|
||
- No vague entries ("a library", "some framework")?
|
||
- No multi-option entries without decision?
|
||
|
||
3. Code vs Design Balance:
|
||
- Any sections with 10+ lines of code? (FLAG for removal)
|
||
- Focus on design (schemas, patterns, diagrams)?
|
||
|
||
4. Vagueness Detection:
|
||
- Scan for: "appropriate", "standard", "will use", "some", "a library"
|
||
- Flag all vague statements for specificity
|
||
|
||
5. Generate Epic Alignment Matrix:
|
||
| Epic | Stories | Components | Data Models | APIs | Integration Points | Status |
|
||
|
||
This matrix is SEPARATE OUTPUT (not in architecture.md)
|
||

6. Generate Cohesion Check Report with:
|
||
- Executive summary (READY vs GAPS)
|
||
- Requirements coverage table
|
||
- Technology table validation
|
||
- Epic Alignment Matrix
|
||
- Story readiness (X of Y stories ready)
|
||
- Vagueness detected
|
||
- Over-specification detected
|
||
- Recommendations (critical/important/nice-to-have)

3. Add repo-specific README pointing to docs:
|
||
"See /docs/architecture.md for complete solution architecture"
|
||
|
||
4. Later phases extract per-epic and per-story contexts as needed
|
||
|
||
Rationale: Full context in every repo, extract focused contexts during implementation.

<file id="bmad/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/checklist.md" type="md"><![CDATA[# Solution Architecture Checklist
|
||
|
||
Use this checklist during workflow execution and review.
|
||
|
||
## Pre-Workflow

<file id="bmad/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/templates/game-engine-godot-guide.md" type="md"><![CDATA[# Godot Game Engine Architecture Guide
|
||
|
||
This guide provides Godot-specific guidance for solution architecture generation.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Godot-Specific Questions
|
||
|
||
### 1. Godot Version and Language Strategy
|
||
|
||
**Ask:**
|
||
|
||
- Which Godot version? (3.x, 4.x)
|
||
- Language preference? (GDScript only, C# only, or Mixed GDScript+C#)
|
||
- Target platform(s)? (PC, Mobile, Web, Console)
|
||
|
||
**Guidance:**
|
||
|
||
- **Godot 4.x**: Modern, Vulkan renderer, better 3D, C# improving
|
||
- **Godot 3.x**: Stable, mature ecosystem, OpenGL
|
||
- **GDScript**: Python-like, fast iteration, integrated with editor
|
||
- **C#**: Better performance for complex systems, familiar to Unity devs
|
||
- **Mixed**: GDScript for game logic, C# for performance-critical (physics, AI)
|
||
|
||
**Record ADR:** Godot version and language strategy
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 2. Node-Based Architecture
|
||
|
||
**Ask:**
|
||
|
||
- Scene composition strategy? (Nested scenes, scene inheritance, or flat hierarchy)
|
||
- Node organization patterns? (By feature, by type, or hybrid)
|
||
|
||
**Guidance:**
|
||
|
||
- **Scenes as Prefabs**: Each reusable entity is a scene (Player.tscn, Enemy.tscn)
|
||
- **Scene Inheritance**: Extend base scenes for variations (BaseEnemy → FlyingEnemy)
|
||
- **Node Signals**: Use built-in signal system for decoupled communication
|
||
- **Autoload Singletons**: For global managers (GameManager, AudioManager)
|
||
|
||
**Godot Pattern:**
|
||
|
||
```gdscript
|
||
# Player.gd
|
||
extends CharacterBody2D
|
||
|
||
signal health_changed(new_health)
|
||
signal died
|
||
|
||
@export var max_health: int = 100
|
||
var health: int = max_health
|
||
|
||
func take_damage(amount: int) -> void:
|
||
health -= amount
|
||
health_changed.emit(health)
|
||
if health <= 0:
|
||
died.emit()
|
||
queue_free()
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Record ADR:** Scene architecture and node organization
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 3. Resource Management
|
||
|
||
**Ask:**
|
||
|
||
- Use Godot Resources for data? (Custom Resource types for game data)
|
||
- Asset loading strategy? (preload vs load vs ResourceLoader)
|
||
|
||
**Guidance:**
|
||
|
||
- **Resources**: Like Unity ScriptableObjects, serializable data containers
|
||
- **preload()**: Load at compile time (fast, but increases binary size)
|
||
- **load()**: Load at runtime (slower, but smaller binary)
|
||
- **ResourceLoader.load_threaded_request()**: Async loading for large assets
|
||
|
||
**Pattern:**
|
||
|
||
```gdscript
|
||
# EnemyData.gd
|
||
class_name EnemyData
|
||
extends Resource
|
||
|
||
@export var enemy_name: String
|
||
@export var health: int
|
||
@export var speed: float
|
||
@export var prefab_scene: PackedScene
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Record ADR:** Resource and asset loading strategy
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Godot-Specific Architecture Sections
|
||
|
||
### Signal-Driven Communication
|
||
|
||
**Godot's built-in Observer pattern:**
|
||
|
||
```gdscript
|
||
# GameManager.gd (Autoload singleton)
|
||
extends Node
|
||
|
||
signal game_started
|
||
signal game_paused
|
||
signal game_over(final_score: int)
|
||
|
||
func start_game() -> void:
|
||
game_started.emit()
|
||
|
||
func pause_game() -> void:
|
||
get_tree().paused = true
|
||
game_paused.emit()
|
||
|
||
# In Player.gd
|
||
func _ready() -> void:
|
||
GameManager.game_started.connect(_on_game_started)
|
||
GameManager.game_over.connect(_on_game_over)
|
||
|
||
func _on_game_started() -> void:
|
||
position = Vector2.ZERO
|
||
health = max_health
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Benefits:**
|
||
|
||
- Decoupled systems
|
||
- No FindNode or get_node everywhere
|
||
- Type-safe with typed signals (Godot 4)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Godot Scene Architecture
|
||
|
||
**Scene organization patterns:**
|
||
|
||
**1. Composition Pattern:**
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Player (CharacterBody2D)
|
||
├── Sprite2D
|
||
├── CollisionShape2D
|
||
├── AnimationPlayer
|
||
├── HealthComponent (Node - custom script)
|
||
├── InputComponent (Node - custom script)
|
||
└── WeaponMount (Node2D)
|
||
└── Weapon (instanced scene)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**2. Scene Inheritance:**
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
BaseEnemy.tscn
|
||
├── Inherits → FlyingEnemy.tscn (adds wings, aerial movement)
|
||
└── Inherits → GroundEnemy.tscn (adds ground collision)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**3. Autoload Singletons:**
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
# In Project Settings > Autoload:
|
||
GameManager → res://scripts/managers/game_manager.gd
|
||
AudioManager → res://scripts/managers/audio_manager.gd
|
||
SaveManager → res://scripts/managers/save_manager.gd
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Performance Optimization
|
||
|
||
**Godot-specific considerations:**
|
||
|
||
- **Static Typing**: Use type hints for GDScript performance (`var health: int = 100`)
|
||
- **Object Pooling**: Implement manually or use addons
|
||
- **CanvasItem batching**: Reduce draw calls with texture atlases
|
||
- **Viewport rendering**: Offload effects to separate viewports
|
||
- **GDScript vs C#**: C# faster for heavy computation, GDScript faster for simple logic
|
||
|
||
**Target Performance:**
|
||
|
||
- **PC**: 60 FPS minimum
|
||
- **Mobile**: 60 FPS (high-end), 30 FPS (low-end)
|
||
- **Web**: 30-60 FPS depending on complexity
|
||
|
||
**Profiler:**
|
||
|
||
- Use Godot's built-in profiler (Debug > Profiler)
|
||
- Monitor FPS, draw calls, physics time
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Testing Strategy
|
||
|
||
**GUT (Godot Unit Test):**
|
||
|
||
```gdscript
|
||
# test_player.gd
|
||
extends GutTest
|
||
|
||
func test_player_takes_damage():
|
||
var player = Player.new()
|
||
add_child(player)
|
||
player.health = 100
|
||
|
||
player.take_damage(20)
|
||
|
||
assert_eq(player.health, 80, "Player health should decrease")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**GoDotTest for C#:**
|
||
|
||
```csharp
|
||
[Test]
|
||
public void PlayerTakesDamage_DecreasesHealth()
|
||
{
|
||
var player = new Player();
|
||
player.Health = 100;
|
||
|
||
player.TakeDamage(20);
|
||
|
||
Assert.That(player.Health, Is.EqualTo(80));
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Recommended Coverage:**
|
||
|
||
- 80% minimum test coverage (from expansion pack)
|
||
- Test game systems, not rendering
|
||
- Use GUT for GDScript, GoDotTest for C#
|
||

### Deployment and Build
|
||
|
||
**Platform-specific:**
|
||
|
||
- **PC**: Export presets for Windows, Linux, macOS
|
||
- **Mobile**: Android (APK/AAB), iOS (Xcode project)
|
||
- **Web**: HTML5 export (SharedArrayBuffer requirements)
|
||
- **Console**: Partner programs for Switch, Xbox, PlayStation
|
||
|
||
**Export templates:**
|
||
|
||
- Download from Godot website for each platform
|
||
- Configure export presets in Project > Export
|
||
|
||
**Build automation:**
|
||
|
||
- Use `godot --export` command-line for CI/CD
|
||
- Example: `godot --export-release "Windows Desktop" output/game.exe`
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Audio Designer
|
||
|
||
**When needed:** Games with music, sound effects, ambience
|
||
**Responsibilities:**
|
||
|
||
- AudioStreamPlayer node architecture (2D vs 3D audio)
|
||
- Audio bus setup in Godot's audio mixer
|
||
- Music transitions with AudioStreamPlayer.finished signal
|
||
- Sound effect implementation
|
||
- Audio performance optimization
|
||
|
||
### Performance Optimizer
|
||
|
||
**When needed:** Mobile games, large-scale games, complex 3D
|
||
**Responsibilities:**

||
|
||
- Godot profiler analysis
|
||
- Static typing optimization
|
||
- Draw call reduction
|
||
- Physics optimization (collision layers/masks)
|
||
- Memory management
|
||
- C# performance optimization for heavy systems
|
||
|
||
### Multiplayer Architect
|
||
|
||
**When needed:** Multiplayer/co-op games
|
||
**Responsibilities:**
|
||
|
||
- High-level multiplayer API or ENet
|
||
- RPC architecture (remote procedure calls)
|
||
- State synchronization patterns
|
||
- Client-server vs peer-to-peer
|
||
- Anti-cheat considerations
|
||
- Latency compensation
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Common Pitfalls
|
||
|
||
1. **Over-using get_node()** - Cache node references in `@onready` variables
|
||
2. **Not using type hints** - Static typing improves GDScript performance
|
||
3. **Deep node hierarchies** - Keep scene trees shallow for performance
|
||
4. **Ignoring signals** - Use signals instead of polling or direct coupling
|
||
5. **Not leveraging autoload** - Use autoload singletons for global state
|
||
6. **Poor scene organization** - Plan scene structure before building
|
||
7. **Forgetting to queue_free()** - Memory leaks from unreleased nodes

## Godot vs Unity Differences
|
||
|
||
### Architecture Differences:
|
||
|
||
| Unity | Godot | Notes |
|
||
| ---------------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------- |
|
||
| GameObject + Component | Node hierarchy | Godot nodes have built-in functionality |
|
||
| MonoBehaviour | Node + Script | Attach scripts to nodes |
|
||
| ScriptableObject | Resource | Custom data containers |
|
||
| UnityEvent | Signal | Godot signals are built-in |
|
||
| Prefab | Scene (.tscn) | Scenes are reusable like prefabs |
|
||
| Singleton pattern | Autoload | Built-in singleton system |
|
||
|
||
### Language Differences:
|
||
|
||
| Unity C# | GDScript | Notes |
|
||
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
|
||
| `public class Player : MonoBehaviour` | `class_name Player extends CharacterBody2D` | GDScript more concise |
|
||
| `void Start()` | `func _ready():` | Initialization |
|
||
| `void Update()` | `func _process(delta):` | Per-frame update |
|
||
| `void FixedUpdate()` | `func _physics_process(delta):` | Physics update |
|
||
| `[SerializeField]` | `@export` | Inspector-visible variables |
|
||
| `GetComponent<T>()` | `get_node("NodeName")` or `$NodeName` | Node access |
|

||
### 1. Unity Version and Render Pipeline
|
||
|
||
**Ask:**
|
||
|
||
- Which Unity version are you targeting? (2021 LTS, 2022 LTS, 2023+, 6000+)
|
||
- Which render pipeline? (Built-in, URP Universal Render Pipeline, HDRP High Definition)
|
||
- Target platform(s)? (PC, Mobile, Console, WebGL)
|
||
|
||
**Guidance:**
|
||
|
||
- **2021/2022 LTS**: Stable, well-supported, good for production
|
||
- **URP**: Best for mobile and cross-platform (lower overhead)
|
||
- **HDRP**: High-fidelity graphics for PC/console only
|
||
- **Built-in**: Legacy, avoid for new projects
|
||
|
||
**Record ADR:** Unity version and render pipeline choice
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 2. Architecture Pattern
|
||
|
||
**Ask:**
|
||
|
||
- Component-based MonoBehaviour architecture? (Unity standard)
|
||
- ECS (Entity Component System) for performance-critical systems?
|
||
- Hybrid (MonoBehaviour + ECS where needed)?
|
||
|
||
**Guidance:**
|
||
|
||
- **MonoBehaviour**: Standard, easy to use, good for most games
|
||
- **ECS/DOTS**: High performance, steep learning curve, use for massive scale (1000s of entities)
|
||
- **Hybrid**: MonoBehaviour for gameplay, ECS for particles/crowds
|
||
|
||
**Record ADR:** Architecture pattern choice and justification
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 3. Data Management Strategy
|
||
|
||
**Ask:**
|
||
|
||
- ScriptableObjects for data-driven design?
|
||
- JSON/XML config files?
|
||
- Addressables for asset management?
|
||
|
||
**Guidance:**
|
||
|
||
- **ScriptableObjects**: Unity-native, inspector-friendly, good for game data (enemies, items, levels)
|
||
- **Addressables**: Essential for large games, enables asset streaming and DLC
|
||
- Avoid Resources folder (deprecated pattern)
|
||
|
||
**Record ADR:** Data management approach
|
||

## Unity-Specific Architecture Sections
|
||
|
||
### Game Systems Architecture
|
||
|
||
**Components to define:**
|
||
|
||
- **Player Controller**: Character movement, input handling
|
||
- **Camera System**: Follow camera, cinemachine usage
|
||
- **Game State Manager**: Scene transitions, game modes, pause/resume
|
||
- **Save System**: PlayerPrefs vs JSON vs Cloud Save
|
||
- **Input System**: New Input System vs Legacy
|
||
|
||
**Unity-specific patterns:**
|
||
|
||
```csharp
|
||
// Singleton GameManager pattern
|
||
public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
|
||
{
|
||
public static GameManager Instance { get; private set; }
|
||
|
||
void Awake()
|
||
{
|
||
if (Instance == null) Instance = this;
|
||
else Destroy(gameObject);
|
||
DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// ScriptableObject data pattern
|
||
[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "EnemyData", menuName = "Game/Enemy")]
|
||
public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject
|
||
{
|
||
public string enemyName;
|
||
public int health;
|
||
public float speed;
|
||
public GameObject prefab;
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Unity Events and Communication
|
||
|
||
**Ask:**
|
||
|
||
- UnityEvents for inspector-wired connections?
|
||
- C# Events for code-based pub/sub?
|
||
- Message system for decoupled communication?
|
||
|
||
**Guidance:**
|
||
|
||
- **UnityEvents**: Good for designer-configurable connections
|
||
- **C# Events**: Better performance, type-safe
|
||
- **Avoid** FindObjectOfType and GetComponent in Update()
|
||
|
||
**Pattern:**
|
||
|
||
```csharp
|
||
// Event-driven damage system
|
||
public class HealthSystem : MonoBehaviour
|
||
{
|
||
public UnityEvent<int> OnDamaged;
|
||
public UnityEvent OnDeath;
|
||
|
||
public void TakeDamage(int amount)
|
||
{
|
||
health -= amount;
|
||
OnDamaged?.Invoke(amount);
|
||
if (health <= 0) OnDeath?.Invoke();
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Performance Optimization
|
||
|
||
**Unity-specific considerations:**
|
||
|
||
- **Object Pooling**: Essential for bullets, particles, enemies
|
||
- **Sprite Batching**: Use sprite atlases, minimize draw calls
|
||
- **Physics Optimization**: Layer-based collision matrix
|
||
- **Profiler Usage**: CPU, GPU, Memory, Physics profilers
|
||
- **IL2CPP vs Mono**: Build performance differences
|
||
|
||
**Target Performance:**
|
||
|
||
- Mobile: 60 FPS minimum (30 FPS for complex 3D)
|
||
- PC: 60 FPS minimum
|
||
- Monitor with Unity Profiler
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Testing Strategy
|
||
|
||
**Unity Test Framework:**
|
||
|
||
- **Edit Mode Tests**: Test pure C# logic, no Unity lifecycle
|
||
- **Play Mode Tests**: Test MonoBehaviour components in play mode
|
||
- Use `[UnityTest]` attribute for coroutine tests
|
||
- Mock Unity APIs with interfaces
|
||
|
||
**Example:**
|
||
|
||
```csharp
|
||
[UnityTest]
|
||
public IEnumerator Player_TakesDamage_DecreasesHealth()
|
||
{
|
||
var player = new GameObject().AddComponent<Player>();
|
||
player.health = 100;
|
||
|
||
player.TakeDamage(20);
|
||
|
||
yield return null; // Wait one frame
|
||
|
||
Assert.AreEqual(80, player.health);
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

||
### Deployment and Build
|
||
|
||
**Platform-specific:**
|
||
|
||
- **PC**: Standalone builds (Windows/Mac/Linux)
|
||
- **Mobile**: IL2CPP mandatory for iOS, recommended for Android
|
||
- **WebGL**: Compression, memory limitations
|
||
- **Console**: Platform-specific SDKs and certification
|
||
|
||
**Build pipeline:**
|
||
|
||
- Unity Cloud Build OR
|
||
- CI/CD with command-line builds: `Unity -batchmode -buildTarget ...`
|
||
|
||

<file id="bmad/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/templates/game-engine-web-guide.md" type="md"><![CDATA[# Web Game Engine Architecture Guide
|
||
|
||
This guide provides web game engine-specific guidance (Phaser, PixiJS, Three.js, Babylon.js) for solution architecture generation.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Web Game-Specific Questions
|
||
|
||
### 1. Engine and Technology Selection
|
||
|
||
**Ask:**
|
||
|
||
- Which engine? (Phaser 3, PixiJS, Three.js, Babylon.js, custom Canvas/WebGL)
|
||
- TypeScript or JavaScript?
|
||
- Build tool? (Vite, Webpack, Rollup, Parcel)
|
||
- Target platform(s)? (Desktop web, mobile web, PWA, Cordova/Capacitor wrapper)
|
||
|
||
**Guidance:**
|
||
|
||
- **Phaser 3**: Full-featured 2D game framework, great for beginners
|
||
- **PixiJS**: 2D rendering library, more low-level than Phaser
|
||
- **Three.js**: 3D graphics library, mature ecosystem
|
||
- **Babylon.js**: Complete 3D game engine, WebXR support
|
||
- **TypeScript**: Recommended for all web games (type safety, better tooling)
|
||
- **Vite**: Modern, fast, HMR - best for development
|
||
|
||
**Record ADR:** Engine selection and build tooling
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 2. Architecture Pattern
|
||
|
||
**Ask:**
|
||
|
||
- Scene-based architecture? (Phaser scenes, custom scene manager)
|
||
- ECS (Entity Component System)? (Libraries: bitECS, ecsy)
|
||
- State management? (Redux, Zustand, custom FSM)
|
||
|
||
**Guidance:**
|
||
|
||
- **Scene-based**: Natural for Phaser, good for level-based games
|
||
- **ECS**: Better performance for large entity counts (100s+)
|
||
- **FSM**: Good for simple state transitions (menu → game → gameover)
|
||
|
||
**Phaser Pattern:**
|
||
|
||
```typescript
|
||
// MainMenuScene.ts
|
||
export class MainMenuScene extends Phaser.Scene {
|
||
constructor() {
|
||
super({ key: 'MainMenu' });
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
create() {
|
||
this.add.text(400, 300, 'Main Menu', { fontSize: '32px' });
|
||
|
||
const startButton = this.add
|
||
.text(400, 400, 'Start Game', { fontSize: '24px' })
|
||
.setInteractive()
|
||
.on('pointerdown', () => {
|
||
this.scene.start('GameScene');
|
||
});
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Record ADR:** Architecture pattern and scene management
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 3. Asset Management
|
||
|
||
**Ask:**
|
||
|
||
- Asset loading strategy? (Preload all, lazy load, progressive)
|
||
- Texture atlas usage? (TexturePacker, built-in tools)
|
||
- Audio format strategy? (MP3, OGG, WebM)
|
||
|
||
**Guidance:**
|
||
|
||
- **Preload**: Load all assets at start (simple, small games)
|
||
- **Lazy load**: Load per-level (better for larger games)
|
||
- **Texture atlases**: Essential for performance (reduce draw calls)
|
||
- **Audio**: MP3 for compatibility, OGG for smaller size, use both
|
||
|
||
**Phaser loading:**
|
||
|
||
```typescript
|
||
class PreloadScene extends Phaser.Scene {
|
||
preload() {
|
||
// Show progress bar
|
||
this.load.on('progress', (value: number) => {
|
||
console.log('Loading: ' + Math.round(value * 100) + '%');
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
// Load assets
|
||
this.load.atlas('sprites', 'assets/sprites.png', 'assets/sprites.json');
|
||
this.load.audio('music', ['assets/music.mp3', 'assets/music.ogg']);
|
||
this.load.audio('jump', ['assets/sfx/jump.mp3', 'assets/sfx/jump.ogg']);
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
create() {
|
||
this.scene.start('MainMenu');
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Record ADR:** Asset loading and management strategy
|

## Web Game-Specific Architecture Sections
|
||
|
||
### Performance Optimization
|
||
|
||
**Web-specific considerations:**
|
||
|
||
- **Object Pooling**: Mandatory for bullets, particles, enemies (avoid GC pauses)
|
||
- **Sprite Batching**: Use texture atlases, minimize state changes
|
||
- **Canvas vs WebGL**: WebGL for better performance (most games)
|
||
- **Draw Call Reduction**: Batch similar sprites, use sprite sheets
|
||
- **Memory Management**: Watch heap size, profile with Chrome DevTools
|
||
|
||
**Object Pooling Pattern:**
|
||
|
||
```typescript
|
||
class BulletPool {
|
||
private pool: Bullet[] = [];
|
||
private scene: Phaser.Scene;
|
||
|
||
constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, size: number) {
|
||
this.scene = scene;
|
||
for (let i = 0; i < size; i++) {
|
||
const bullet = new Bullet(scene);
|
||
bullet.setActive(false).setVisible(false);
|
||
this.pool.push(bullet);
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
spawn(x: number, y: number, velocityX: number, velocityY: number): Bullet | null {
|
||
const bullet = this.pool.find((b) => !b.active);
|
||
if (bullet) {
|
||
bullet.spawn(x, y, velocityX, velocityY);
|
||
}
|
||
return bullet || null;
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Target Performance:**
|
||
|
||
- **Desktop**: 60 FPS minimum
|
||
- **Mobile**: 60 FPS (high-end), 30 FPS (low-end)
|
||
- **Profile with**: Chrome DevTools Performance tab, Phaser Debug plugin
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Input Handling
|
||
|
||
**Multi-input support:**
|
||
|
||
```typescript
|
||
class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene {
|
||
private cursors?: Phaser.Types.Input.Keyboard.CursorKeys;
|
||
private wasd?: { [key: string]: Phaser.Input.Keyboard.Key };
|
||
|
||
create() {
|
||
// Keyboard
|
||
this.cursors = this.input.keyboard?.createCursorKeys();
|
||
this.wasd = this.input.keyboard?.addKeys('W,S,A,D') as any;
|
||
|
||
// Mouse/Touch
|
||
this.input.on('pointerdown', (pointer: Phaser.Input.Pointer) => {
|
||
this.handleClick(pointer.x, pointer.y);
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
// Gamepad (optional)
|
||
this.input.gamepad?.on('down', (pad, button, index) => {
|
||
this.handleGamepadButton(button);
|
||
});
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
update() {
|
||
// Handle keyboard input
|
||
if (this.cursors?.left.isDown || this.wasd?.A.isDown) {
|
||
this.player.moveLeft();
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### State Persistence
|
||
|
||
**LocalStorage pattern:**
|
||
|
||
```typescript
|
||
interface GameSaveData {
|
||
level: number;
|
||
score: number;
|
||
playerStats: {
|
||
health: number;
|
||
lives: number;
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
class SaveManager {
|
||
private static SAVE_KEY = 'game_save_data';
|
||
|
||
static save(data: GameSaveData): void {
|
||
localStorage.setItem(this.SAVE_KEY, JSON.stringify(data));
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
static load(): GameSaveData | null {
|
||
const data = localStorage.getItem(this.SAVE_KEY);
|
||
return data ? JSON.parse(data) : null;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
static clear(): void {
|
||
localStorage.removeItem(this.SAVE_KEY);
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
**Jest + TypeScript:**
|
||
|
||
```typescript
|
||
// Player.test.ts
|
||
import { Player } from '../entities/Player';
|
||
|
||
describe('Player', () => {
|
||
let player: Player;
|
||
|
||
beforeEach(() => {
|
||
// Mock Phaser scene
|
||
const mockScene = {
|
||
add: { sprite: jest.fn() },
|
||
physics: { add: { sprite: jest.fn() } },
|
||
} as any;
|
||
|
||
player = new Player(mockScene, 0, 0);
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
test('takes damage correctly', () => {
|
||
player.health = 100;
|
||
player.takeDamage(20);
|
||
expect(player.health).toBe(80);
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
test('dies when health reaches zero', () => {
|
||
player.health = 10;
|
||
player.takeDamage(20);
|
||
expect(player.alive).toBe(false);
|
||
});
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**E2E Testing:**
|
||
|
||
- Playwright for browser automation
|
||
- Cypress for interactive testing
|
||
- Test game states, not individual frames
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Deployment and Build
|
||
|
||
**Build for production:**
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
// package.json scripts
|
||
{
|
||
"scripts": {
|
||
"dev": "vite",
|
||
"build": "tsc andand vite build",
|
||
"preview": "vite preview",
|
||
"test": "jest"
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Deployment targets:**
|
||
|
||
- **Static hosting**: Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, AWS S3
|
||
- **CDN**: Cloudflare, Fastly for global distribution
|
||
- **PWA**: Service worker for offline play
|
||
- **Mobile wrapper**: Cordova or Capacitor for app stores
|
||
|
||
**Optimization:**
|
||
|
||
```typescript
|
||
// vite.config.ts
|
||
export default defineConfig({
|
||
build: {
|
||
rollupOptions: {
|
||
output: {
|
||
manualChunks: {
|
||
phaser: ['phaser'], // Separate Phaser bundle
|
||
},
|
||
},
|
||
},
|
||
minify: 'terser',
|
||
terserOptions: {
|
||
compress: {
|
||
drop_console: true, // Remove console.log in prod
|
||
},
|
||
},
|
||
},
|
||
});
|
||
```

|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Common Pitfalls
|
||
|
||
1. **Not using object pooling** - Frequent instantiation causes GC pauses
|
||
2. **Too many draw calls** - Use texture atlases and sprite batching
|
||
3. **Loading all assets at once** - Causes long initial load times
|
||
4. **Not testing on mobile** - Performance vastly different on phones
|
||
5. **Ignoring bundle size** - Large bundles = slow load times
|
||
6. **Not handling window resize** - Web games run in resizable windows
|
||
7. **Forgetting audio autoplay restrictions** - Browsers block auto-play without user interaction
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Engine-Specific Patterns
|
||
|
||
### Phaser 3
|
||
|
||
```typescript
|
||
const config: Phaser.Types.Core.GameConfig = {
|
||
type: Phaser.AUTO, // WebGL with Canvas fallback
|
||
width: 800,
|
||
height: 600,
|
||
physics: {
|
||
default: 'arcade',
|
||
arcade: { gravity: { y: 300 }, debug: false },
|
||
},
|
||
scene: [PreloadScene, MainMenuScene, GameScene, GameOverScene],
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
const game = new Phaser.Game(config);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### PixiJS
|
||
|
||
```typescript
|
||
const app = new PIXI.Application({
|
||
width: 800,
|
||
height: 600,
|
||
backgroundColor: 0x1099bb,
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
document.body.appendChild(app.view);
|
||
|
||
const sprite = PIXI.Sprite.from('assets/player.png');
|
||
app.stage.addChild(sprite);
|
||
|
||
app.ticker.add((delta) => {
|
||
sprite.rotation += 0.01 * delta;
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Three.js
|
||
|
||
```typescript
|
||
const scene = new THREE.Scene();
|
||
const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000);
|
||
const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
|
||
|
||
renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
|
||
document.body.appendChild(renderer.domElement);
|
||
|
||
const geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry();
|
||
const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0x00ff00 });
|
||
const cube = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
|
||
scene.add(cube);
|
||
|
||
function animate() {
|
||
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
|
||
cube.rotation.x += 0.01;
|
||
renderer.render(scene, camera);
|
||
}
|
||
animate();
|
||
```

## Key Architecture Decision Records
|
||
|
||
### ADR Template for Web Games
|
||
|
||
**ADR-XXX: [Title]**
|
||
|
||
**Context:**
|
||
What web game-specific issue are we solving?
|
||
|
||
**Options:**
|
||
|
||
1. Phaser 3 (full framework)
|
||
2. PixiJS (rendering library)
|
||
3. Three.js/Babylon.js (3D)
|
||
4. Custom Canvas/WebGL
|
||
|
||
**Decision:**
|
||
We chose [Option X]
|
||
|
||
**Web-specific Rationale:**
|
||
|
||
- Engine features vs bundle size
|
||
- Community and plugin ecosystem
|
||
- TypeScript support
|
||
- Performance on target devices (mobile web)
|
||
- Browser compatibility
|
||
- Development velocity
|
||
|
||
**Consequences:**
|
||
|
||
- Impact on bundle size (Phaser ~1.2MB gzipped)
|
||
- Learning curve
|
||
- Platform limitations
|
||
- Plugin availability

## Next Steps for {{project_name}}
|
||
|
||
Since this is a Level {{project_level}} project, you need architecture before stories.
|
||
|
||
**Start new chat with architect and provide:**
|
||
|
||
1. This PRD: `{{default_output_file}}`
|
||
2. Epic structure: `{{epics_output_file}}`
|
||
3. Input documents: {{input_documents}}
|
||
|
||
**Ask architect to:**
|
||
|
||
- Run `architecture` workflow
|
||
- Consider reference architectures
|
||
- Generate solution fragments
|
||
- Create architecture.md
|
||
|
||

Would you like to create a Narrative Design Document now?
|

Since this is a Level {{project_level}} game project, you need solutioning for platform/engine architecture.
|
||
|
||
**Start new chat with solutioning workflow and provide:**
|
||
|
||
1. This GDD: `{{gdd_output_file}}`
|
||
2. Project analysis: `{{analysis_file}}`
|
||
|
||
**The solutioning workflow will:**
|
||
|
||
- Determine game engine/platform (Unity, Godot, Phaser, custom, etc.)
|
||
- Generate solution-architecture.md with engine-specific decisions
|
||
- Create per-epic tech specs
|
||
- Handle platform-specific architecture (from registry.csv game-\* entries)
