## Capabilities

- Routes projects to web, mobile, PC, console, VR, or AR guidance.
- Selects focused guidance for 2D, 3D, design, multiplayer, art, and audio needs.
- Explains game loops, input abstraction, collision choices, and common architecture patterns.
- Compares engines and browser frameworks against project requirements.
- Provides platform-specific performance, loading, comfort, and control principles.
- Covers balancing, progression, asset pipelines, adaptive audio, and server authority.

## Use Cases

- Scope an Indie Prototype: Choose a platform, engine, core loop, controls, and first performance targets for a small prototype.
- Align a Production Team: Create shared direction for gameplay, art assets, audio systems, and technical constraints.
- Teach Platform Tradeoffs: Compare web, mobile, desktop, and immersive development constraints through clear decision frameworks.

## Prompt Templates

### Plan a First Game

```
Plan a small 2D browser platformer. Recommend relevant sub-skills, a core loop, input actions, a framework, and initial performance targets.
```

### Choose an Engine

```
Compare Unity, Godot, and Unreal for a three-person 3D PC game. Consider team skills, visual goals, budget, and deployment needs.
```

### Design a Production Pipeline

```
Define an asset and audio pipeline for a stylized mobile puzzle game. Include naming, organization, formats, performance budgets, and accessibility checks.
```

### Architect Competitive Multiplayer

```
Design the architecture for a competitive multiplayer action game. Cover server authority, synchronization, prediction, bandwidth, anti-cheat validation, profiling, and failure testing.
```

## Limitations

- Provides principles and recommendations, but does not generate a complete playable game.
- Does not inspect project files, hardware, engine settings, or runtime profiles by itself.
- Framework versions, browser support, store rules, and platform requirements may change.
- Recommendations still require testing, profiling, licensing review, and platform certification.

## Best Practices

- State the target platform, game dimension, genre, team size, and performance goals.
- Prototype the core loop before expanding content or polishing presentation.
- Validate recommendations with profiling, playtesting, accessibility checks, and target-device testing.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not choose an engine only because it is popular.
- Do not optimize systems before measuring actual bottlenecks.
- Do not apply desktop controls, budgets, or assumptions unchanged to other platforms.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-23T23:11:41.367\+00:00
- Summary: All 52 static findings are false positives. External-command detections are Markdown fences or inline references, while reconnaissance detections are ordinary game-development guidance. No executable commands, prompt injection, or malicious intent were found.
