# asset-spec Turns your GDDs and character profiles into per-asset visual specs and image generation prompts. Meant to run after the art bible. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 431 installs · ★ 27473 - Author: Donchitos - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/asset-spec/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-19 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/asset-spec ## What it does The skill reads your design docs and produces the master list of everything the game needs to show. With no inventory yet, it builds one: it pulls systems from `design/gdd/systems-index.md`, the Visual/Audio and UI Requirements sections of your GDDs, named entities from `design/registry/entities.yaml`, and the art bible, then sorts them into characters, enemies, buildings, environment, items, VFX, UI screens, HUD elements and audio. You review that list — add or remove items — before it writes `design/assets/entity-inventory.md`. After that you work one item at a time with `system:`, `level:` or `character:`. The `--review full|lean|solo` flag controls depth: `full` spawns the `art-director` and `technical-artist` subagents in parallel, `lean` keeps only the art director, `solo` writes specs with no subagents at all. Without the flag the mode comes from config via `resolve_config --keys review_mode`, which falls back to `modes.rigor`. The art bible is not optional. With no `design/art/art-bible.md` the skill stops and tells you to run `/art-bible` first, since specs are anchored to its visual rules. Live image generation is not wired in here — the output is prompt text only. If it ever is, calling an external image API will prompt for confirmation every time regardless of automation mode, because that call leaves your machine. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill asset-spec -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/asset-spec/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/asset-spec/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill asset-spec -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/asset-spec/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill asset-spec -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/asset-spec/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios asset-spec ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/asset-spec/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill asset-spec -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --path .claude/skills/asset-spec ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/asset-spec/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill asset-spec -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/Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/asset-spec/SKILL.md ## When to use it - build one list of everything the game needs drawn - get a visual spec for a single character or level - write image generation prompts from GDD content - find entities that still have no spec file - sort found assets into categories: characters, UI, VFX, audio ## Example prompts - /asset-spec - /asset-spec character:innkeeper --review full - /asset-spec level:market-square ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

Generate specs for it?" - Options: `[A] Yes — spec [name]` / `[B] Pick a different item` / `[C] Stop here` - If no entity inventory: check `design/assets/asset-manifest.md`.

(Today this skill only emits generation-prompt *text*; the guard applies if live generation is ever wired in.) ## Phase 0b: Entity & Screen Inventory (runs when no arguments and no existing inventory) This flow produces `design/assets/entity-inventory.md` — the master list of everything the game needs visually. Run once before asset spec work begins. ### Step 1 — Gather from docs Read all available source material in parallel, each doc by section: find the headings you need with the Grep tool (pattern `^#`, content mode) and Read those ranges with offset and limit. - `design/gdd/systems-index.md` — extract every system listed - GDD asset content — do **not** full-read every GDD. The two wanted sections are standard headings, and named entities live in the registry: ``` ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE d6d4c647a85ce5c3 The third-party file has ended.
