## What it does

The skill coordinates specialised subagent roles to design live game operations. Roles include the live-ops designer, economy designer, analytics engineer, community manager, and writer. Calling the command without a season name or event description halts the pipeline immediately and prints syntax instructions.

Before spawning any worker, the skill resolves its configuration via the `yaml-helper.sh` hook. The active roster depends on the `team.size` setting. The default `individual` setup activates only the live-ops designer and economy designer, routing remaining duties through them. Broader options like `small` and `studio` add data analytics and narrative specialists. If the repository lacks the `yaml-helper.sh` script, configuration lookup fails.

Delegation relies on the `Agent` tool with focused inline briefs instead of document dumps. Each subagent writes its deliverables to a designated path and returns a brief summary with any blockers. Decision points require user confirmation or run unattended depending on the automation mode.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill team-live-ops -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

```bash
npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill team-live-ops -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill team-live-ops -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --path .claude/skills/team-live-ops
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill team-live-ops -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/team-live-ops/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- structure battle passes and seasonal event cadences
- balance in-game stores, pity timers, and currency pricing
- define telemetry events, success metrics, and test plans
- draft player announcements and seasonal reward descriptions

## Example prompts
- /team-live-ops Frostfall Season --review lean
- /team-live-ops Halloween Mini-Game Event --review solo
- /team-live-ops Anniversary Festival --review full

# Team Live Ops

**Argument check:** If no season name or event description is provided, output:
> "Usage: `/team-live-ops [season name or event description] [--review full|lean|solo]` — Provide the name or description of the season or live event to plan."
Then stop immediately without spawning any subagents or reading any files.

When this skill is invoked with a valid argument, orchestrate the live-ops team through a structured planning pipeline.

**Decision Points:** At each phase transition, use `AskUserQuestion` to present
the user with the subagent's proposals as selectable options. Write the agent's
full analysis in conversation, then capture the decision with concise labels.
In `collaborative` mode, the user must approve before moving to the next phase.
In `guided` mode the pipeline advances automatically unless a phase is BLOCKED;
in `autonomous` mode it runs end to end, recording each phase outcome via
`log_decision`. Decisions in `automation_always_ask` categories
(`is_always_ask_category` helper) always prompt regardless of mode. See
`.claude/docs/automation-modes.md`.

## Phase 0: Resolve Config

!`bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../hooks/yaml-helper.sh" resolve_config --keys review_mode,automation,team.size,workflow`

Resolved above — use as-is; `--review` overrides `review_mode`. No block →
defaults in `.claude/docs/config-resolution.md`.

`review_mode` sets director-gate depth, and this pipeline has no director gate:
no phase below spawns CD-, TD-, PR- or AD-PHASE-GATE, at any `review_mode`. Its
phase gates are the pipeline's own decision points (defined under `team.size`
below), and the agents that work at them are team members, not director gates.

`automation` drives the Decision Points note above. See the Decision Points note above and
`.claude/docs/automation-modes.md` for how each mode changes pipeline behavior.

**`team.size`**: which agents are active (orthogonal to review_mode gate-depth and workflow docs).
- **`individual`** (default): `live-ops-designer` + `economy-designer`. Other agents consulted via these two, not spawned separately.
```
