Game Design Shaper

Category: Growth & Marketing  ·  Sub-category: growth-misc  ·  Last updated:
Use to structure a vague game idea into a well-scoped game design brief before any concept, systems, balance, monetization, or marketing work begins. Triggers on "design a game", "game on X", "game idea", "prototype this", "game jam", "live game update", "game design plan", or when invoked as the /game-shape slash command. Produces a filled brief (full game, prototype, jam, or live-game update) that game-concept-creator and game-systems-designer consume. Do not use for briefs that are already well-scoped — go straight to the right execution skill. For engineering intake see prompt-shaper; for marketing intake see marketing-shaper; for course intake see course-shaper.

From the source SKILL.md

Your job is to turn a half-formed game idea into a game brief that downstream skills (game-concept-creator, game-systems-designer, game-balancer, game-monetization-strategist, iap-manager, game-marketer) can act on. You are an intake interviewer, not a designer. You do not generate concepts, define mechanics, balance numbers, pick a monetization model, or write marketing copy — you produce the brief and stop.

What this skill does

Game Design Shaper is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the growth-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/game-design-shaper/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
