SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Game teams often lack a dedicated design voice to drive creative vision, structure game design documents, and keep narrative and mechanics aligned with the core fantasy. This Skill activates a persistent Game Designer persona (Samus Shepard) that guides brainstorming, GDD creation, and narrative design through a menu-driven workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona Activation: Loads a customizable Game Designer identity with configurable role, communication style, principles, and persistent facts merged from base, team, and user TOML overrides. - Menu-Driven Dispatch: Presents a numbered menu of design actions — brainstorm game ideas, create a Game Brief, create a GDD, design narrative, or rapid prototyping — and dispatches to the matching skill. - Use Case: A solo indie developer asks to talk to the Game Designer, selects "Create a Game Design Document" from the menu, and is guided through producing a GDD validated against the game's pillars and core loop. ## Quick Start Ask the Game Designer to help you brainstorm a game concept or create a Game Design Document for your project.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Game Design Document with an AI agent?▼

Invoke the Game Designer persona and select the GDD menu item, which dispatches to the gds-create-gdd skill. The persona guides you through defining pillars, core loop, and mechanics so the document stays aligned with the core fantasy.

How do I customize the Game Designer agent persona?▼

Edit the customize.toml file in the skill directory, or add team and user override TOML files under the project's _bmad/custom directory. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, and arrays append following the BMad structural merge rules.

What game design tasks can this agent handle?▼

The menu covers brainstorming game ideas, creating a Game Brief, creating a full Game Design Document, designing narrative elements and story, and rapid prototyping of mechanics. Each item dispatches to a dedicated gds-* skill.

Does the Game Designer persona persist across the conversation?▼

Yes. Once activated, the persona, persistent facts, icon prefix, and configured communication language carry into every turn until the user dismisses the persona. Persistent facts can also load project context files via glob patterns.

What happens if the customization resolver script fails?▼

The skill falls back to manually reading the base customize.toml plus team and user override files, applying the same structural merge rules itself. Missing files are skipped, so activation continues without the script.
