Dispatch an explicit, user-dictated set of edits that spans TWO OR MORE zones of the GDD — the master spec, systems, content types, and flows — in one ordered pass. Writes nothing itself: it resolves each delta to its (target, zone), orders them so a system change lands before the content or flow that depends on it, delegates each to the owning skill (/unikit-gd-spec, /unikit-gd-system, /unikit-gd-content, /unikit-gd-flow), and closes with one /unikit-gd-verify pass. Use when you already know the changes and they touch more than one part of the design, e.g. "apply these GDD changes", "update the combat system and its loot and the boss flow". It also takes a /unikit-gd-review report file (applies its apply-ready bucket), and a bare /unikit-gd-apply reads the last /unikit-gd-verify output in the session. For a single-zone change call its owner directly; to research an open question use /unikit-gd-explore first.
Execute the tasks from an already-created feature plan in .unikit/code/plans/ — read the plan (TASKS.md + PLAN-BRIEF.md), work through the uncompleted tasks in order, write the code, mark progress, and resume across sessions. Supports selective runs by phase or by task numbers, and continuing from where the last session stopped. Use whenever a plan exists and the user wants to build it, e.g. "implement", "implement the plan", "start coding", "execute the plan", "run the plan", "do the next task", "implement phase 3", "implement tasks 2.1 and 2.3", "continue implementation", "continue where we left off", "keep going on the feature". To create the plan first, use the planning skill — this one carries an existing plan out.
Navigator and help guide for the UniKit framework — use when the user is unsure what to do next, where to start, or which unikit skill fits their situation. It diagnoses intent and points to the right skill or pipeline: starting a project, writing code, testing, planning, the spec-driven code workflow, authoring or detailing game design, finding a new mechanic, or deciding what game to build. Trigger on questions like "what do I do next", "where do I start", "how do I start coding", "how do I test my code", "how do I create the game design", "how do I detail a system", "how do I find a new mechanic", "which unikit skill should I use", "how does the code pipeline relate to game design", "I'm lost in unikit", "help me with unikit". Read-only — it explains and points to the right command, it never edits project files. For technical code research use /unikit-explore; for game-design research use /unikit-gd-explore; to initialize the framework use /unikit.
Author and own ONE content type's typed schema (the CONTENT-TYPE.md) at .unikit/gamedesign/content-types/CT-<slug>.md — the content / catalog layer of the GDD (cards, items, weapons, enemies, levels, quests, loot). Use whenever the user wants to ADD a new kind of content or UPDATE its schema, e.g. "add a new content type", "design the loot content", "define the card schema", "add an enemies content type", "add a rarity field to items", "switch this catalog to curated". Create the skeleton, fill its typed field schema (CT.fields), scale, relationships, and validation, AND revise the schema under the delta discipline (a schema change bumps the version + changelog). Selects the scale (bulk | curated) and self-registers content_types/content. This owns the content SCHEMA, not the catalog of values — adding individual entries/units is data handled in the editor, not a schema edit. To add or detail a system use /unikit-gd-system; to add a flow use /unikit-gd-flow; to apply a multi-zone edit use /unikit-gd-apply.
Research and ideation partner for GAME DESIGN — think through design ideas before writing them into the GDD; produces a brief, never edits the GDD itself. Use to assess a genre or market for viability, dissect a reference game (mechanics → dynamics → aesthetics), explore how to improve or extend an existing system, flow, or content type, research new mechanics the design lacks, investigate a part of the GDD in code, or develop the research bucket of a /unikit-gd-review report into decided edits. Trigger on "explore how to improve the flow", "ways to improve the combat system", "is this genre saturated", "break down the combat of Hades", "work out the review's open questions". GAME-DESIGN research only — for CODE or technical research use /unikit-explore; to reconstruct a design from code use /unikit-gd-recon; to write a change into the GDD use /unikit-gd-system or /unikit-gd-spec; to apply edits you know use /unikit-gd-apply; to invent a new game use /unikit-gd-brainstorm.
Author and own one flow's design document (the FLOW.md objective flow) at .unikit/gamedesign/flows/FLOW-<slug>.md — the dynamics layer of the GDD (what the player does over time). Create the skeleton and walk the collaborative section-cycle to write its objectives, pacing, dependencies, and funnel events ("design the first-session flow", "map the onboarding sequence", "write the FLOW for the boss encounter"), AND revise it after approval under the delta discipline ("retune the pacing", "add a branch", "change a GOAL", "rework the onboarding") — a cue/number change is Tuning, a small step change a Tweak, restructuring a Rework; each bumps the version and logs the delta. Selects the wiring mode (linear | conditional | emergent) and re-renders the ## Flow Map [gen] / ## Funnel [gen] blocks in GAME.md. To add or detail a system use /unikit-gd-system; to edit GAME.md content use /unikit-gd-spec; to apply a multi-zone edit use /unikit-gd-apply; for a new game concept use /unikit-gd-brainstorm.
Qualitative quality review of game design documents — answers "is this design good, and does it follow best practices?" — across all three GDD axes: systems, flows, and content types. Fans out adversarial lenses (completeness, clarity, pillar alignment, systems-math, fantasy-delivery, feasibility, scope) plus domain lenses that check it against the game-design rules, each prompted to find problems rather than validate; produces a severity-graded verdict and a two-bucket report (apply-ready fixes vs research), handed to /unikit-gd-apply or /unikit-gd-explore in one move. Scope is inferred: a named system, flow, or content type reviews that document; "all" runs a cross-document review. Use when the user wants a critique, quality judgment, or rules check of the design, e.g. "review the combat GDD", "review the onboarding flow". This is the subjective quality pass — for a mechanical consistency check (numbers, terms, IDs, references matching the registry) use /unikit-gd-verify.
Create and own the master game design document (GAME.md — the authored one-pager plus the generated [gen] system/flow maps) and the GD-IDS.yaml facts registry — the top-level, big-picture layer of the GDD and the machine interface the code side reads. Use it to write the master spec from a concept or dialogue, import an existing GDD (a file path or URL), edit GAME.md content ("change a pillar", "rework the monetization stance", "tweak the loop stack"), pitch the game ("pitch" → PITCH.md), re-decompose the systems ("remap"), and — importantly — to add a new system to the design map ("let's add a new system", "add a crafting system to the game design", "add this to the GDD"). This is the structural, map-level layer plus GAME.md content edits. To write or fill in the detailed parameters of one existing system, use /unikit-gd-system; to apply one edit spanning several zones at once use /unikit-gd-apply; to invent a brand-new game concept use /unikit-gd-brainstorm.
