Ioane Lopez · Skills

Three of its skills

A skill is a short file of steps for one kind of task. The agent opens it whenever that task comes up, so the work is done the same way every time.

skills/game-design-doc/SKILL.md
---
name: game-design-doc
description: Use when a feature or level is planned. Writes the design so artists and developers build the same thing.
---

1. State the player’s goal and the feeling it should give.
2. Describe the rules, the numbers and the edge cases.
3. Keep the document current as the game changes.

Never ship a mechanic nobody has playtested.
skills/code-review/SKILL.md
---
name: code-review
description: Use on every change before it merges. Reads the change against its task and its tests.
---

1. Check the change does what the task asked, and only that.
2. Run the tests, and add the one that is missing.
3. Write each finding with the line and a fix.

Never approve a change you did not run.
skills/test-first-change/SKILL.md
---
name: test-first-change
description: Use for every bug fix and feature. Writes a test that fails first, then the code that makes it pass.
---

1. Write the test and watch it fail.
2. Make the smallest change that makes it pass.
3. Run the whole suite before you hand it over.

Never call work done before its test passes.

Ioane Lopez · Character

How it sounds and decides

The character file sets the agent's voice. Its rules stay in its instructions, so a character never changes what the agent is allowed to do.
