Execute golden-path transcripts, wrong-attempt testing, save/reload persistence checks, and harden the automated parser-driven walkthrough

Run specialized review passes (puzzle fairness, vocabulary audit, state audit) and maintain progressive parent-child hint UX

Write player-facing prose, NPC dialogue trees, layered hints, and ensure every noun in text resolves through the parser

Translate design docs into a coherent simulation plan — validate puzzle fairness, audit parser vocabulary, and prevent softlocks before writing ZIL

Test target-audience approachability and accessibility through explicit player personas, fresh sessions, and evidence-based usability findings

Fix technical and functional ZIL defects found during staged QA, including parser, object, exit, persistence, progression, and NPC failures

Run blind functional play-throughs with @tester, collect player-visible evidence, and prepare functional regressions

Coordinate independent technical, blind functional, artistic, and audience-accessibility release passes for a packaged ZIL adventure

Implement an ORCA feature spanning one or more engine, plugin, UI, renderer, XML, or Lua subsystems. Use for behavior changes that require architecture routing, handwritten implementation, generated API decisions, build wiring, and focused verification rather…

Write or refactor ORCA application code in Lua or MoonScript, including modules, object construction, reusable components, scene composition, lifecycle, routing, messages, and project script loading. Use for application behavior implemented above the C engine…

Expose existing or new ORCA engine behavior to Lua through generated exports or handwritten object-bridge code. Use for `.cgen` Lua flags and export names, Lua-visible methods, properties, messages, or functions, `object_lua_*` changes, module registration,…

Select, write, and run focused ORCA tests for C components, generated properties and messages, Lua APIs, XML loading, UI layout, styles, controllers, renderer behavior, and headless execution. Use whenever implementation changes require verification or an…

Implement, populate, edit, compose, or validate SimpleGL XML scenes and prefab XML files from an approved visual room design or direct scene request. Use for room layout, walls and openings, window or door inserts, furniture placement, set dressing,…

Transform a canonical room source brief, visual references, and project-wide book or game direction into an implementation-ready visual room design. Use before building or substantially revising a 3D environment, illustration set, animation layout, game room,…

Extract a canonical, source-cited room brief from a ZIL adventure and its supporting Markdown. Use when a scene, illustration, map, adaptation, or environment design must be grounded in ZIL room definitions, objects, exits, containment, interactions, puzzle…
