# add-feature

Adds gameplay mechanics to Three.js or Phaser browser games. It helps implement power-ups, combo systems, or double jumps while keeping the core architecture intact.

## What it does

The skill inspects a browser game codebase, detects Phaser or Three.js from `package.json`, and reads `EventBus.js`, `Constants.js`, `GameState.js`, and `Game.js`. Before writing code, it outlines what changes from the player's perspective, what files it creates, and what existing scripts need wiring.

Implementation follows strict rules: zero hardcoded values, state domains added directly into `GameState.js`, and all inter-system communication routed through `EventBus.js`. The new mechanic wires into the main loop inside `Game.js`, followed by verification with `npm run build`.

This workflow strictly targets game mechanics rather than visuals. Styling updates or sprite replacements require dedicated tools like `design-game` and `add-assets`. If your game lacks an event bus or centralized state architecture, the skill breaks because it cannot locate the standard wiring points.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PlayableIntelligence/game-creator --skill add-feature -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/add-feature/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/add-feature/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PlayableIntelligence/game-creator --skill add-feature -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/add-feature/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PlayableIntelligence/game-creator --skill add-feature -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/add-feature/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install PlayableIntelligence/game-creator add-feature
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/add-feature/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PlayableIntelligence/game-creator --skill add-feature -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/PlayableIntelligence/game-creator --path skills/add-feature
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/add-feature/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PlayableIntelligence/game-creator --skill add-feature -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/PlayableIntelligence/game-creator/tree/HEAD/skills/add-feature/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- implement gameplay mechanics like power-ups or combo multipliers
- decouple game subsystems through a centralized `EventBus.js`
- extract mechanic configuration into `Constants.js` without hardcoded values
- register new state domains in `GameState.js`

## Example prompts
- /add-feature add a speed boost power-up that spawns randomly
- /add-feature add combo multiplier that increases when you score quickly
- /add-feature add a double-jump power-up

- Quality is more important than speed
- Do not skip validation steps

# Add Feature

Add a new feature to your game. Just describe what you want in plain English — for example, "add a double-jump power-up" or "add a high score leaderboard" — and the feature will be built following your game's existing patterns.

## Instructions

The user wants to add: $ARGUMENTS

### Step 1: Understand the codebase

- Read `package.json` to identify the engine (Three.js or Phaser)
- Read `src/core/Constants.js` for existing configuration
- Read `src/core/EventBus.js` for existing events
- Read `src/core/GameState.js` for existing state
- Read `src/core/Game.js` (or GameConfig.js) for existing system wiring
- Read existing scene and gameplay files to understand what's already built

### Step 2: Plan the feature

Before writing code, explain the plan in plain English:

1. **What it does**: Describe the feature from the player's perspective
2. **How it works**: List the new files, events, and settings that will be created
3. **What it touches**: List existing files that need small changes to wire in the feature

Then determine what's needed technically:
- New module file(s) and where they go in the directory structure
- New events to add to the Events enum
- New constants to add to Constants.js
- New state to add to GameState.js
- How to wire it into the Game orchestrator

### Step 3: Implement

Follow these rules strictly:
1. Create the new module in the correct `src/` subdirectory
2. Add ALL new events to `EventBus.js` Events enum
3. Add ALL configuration values to `Constants.js` (zero hardcoded values)
4. Add any new state domains to `GameState.js`
5. Wire the new system into `Game.js` (import, instantiate, update in loop)
6. Use EventBus for ALL communication with other systems
7. Follow the existing code style and patterns in the project

### Step 4: Verify

- Run `npm run build` to confirm no errors
- Confirm the feature integrates without breaking existing systems
- Check that no circular dependencies were introduced
- Ensure event listeners are properly cleaned up if applicable
- Summarize what was added in plain English

## Troubleshooting

### Game breaks after adding feature
