+# Game design
+
+## Ownership
+
+Own the intended player experience and the rules that produce it: fantasy, pillars, verbs, decisions, feedback, loops, resources, progression, challenge, failure, onboarding, and social dynamics. Treat design claims as hypotheses proved by play, not a feature inventory or genre imitation — no genre kits, presets, or archetypes; every game is a custom composition of needs (see [AGENTS.md](../../../AGENTS.md)).
+
+Use `level-design` for spatial realization; route implementation to `jgengine-gameplay`, `jgengine-world`, `jgengine-combat`, `jgengine-ui`, `jgengine-multiplayer` once intent is coherent.
+
+Read [references/application-playbook.md](references/application-playbook.md) only when the task explicitly calls for design depth — a design brief, a redesign, or "make this fun/better" work; it is not a mandatory step of creating a game. Read [references/field-guide.md](references/field-guide.md) when the task needs deeper loop, economy, progression, genre, accessibility, or research guidance.
+
+## Choose the mode
+
+Greenfield: produce a vertical-slice contract (promise, pillars, core decision, loops, progression, failure/recovery) and build the smallest slice testing the riskiest assumption — see playbook §1. Existing game: reconstruct what it actually does from code and play, rank root problems by impact/confidence/reach/effort — see playbook §2.
+
+“Improve with game design” is an implementation request, not just an audit: select the highest-leverage intervention, implement it through shared engine seams, and prove the changed player behavior.
+
+## Required output contract
+
+Every design pass yields an observed journey, a north star (promise, pillars, anti-pillars, core decision), a loop/flow model, a ranked bottleneck list with cited evidence, an intervention stack, a chosen design slice, and acceptance evidence. See [references/application-playbook.md](references/application-playbook.md) for the full contract and execution rules (verb->feedback->consequence chains, loop/progression/challenge discipline, upstream ownership).
+
+## Completion
+
+An audit is not completion for a build/improve request. Finish when the slice is playable, a fresh player can state goal/choice/consequence, failure/recovery behave as intended, and evidence supports the pillars. Use `jgengine-verify` and `workflow` to ship.

+# Applying game design
+
+Use this playbook to turn a pitch or an existing game into implemented, testable change. Its purpose is to prevent “design work” from ending as generic advice.
+
+## Contents
+
+1. Greenfield procedure
+2. Existing-game audit
+3. Mandatory models
+4. Ranking interventions
+5. Design-slice specification
+6. Implementation and proof
+7. Failure modes
+
+## 1. Greenfield procedure
+
+### Frame the bet
+
+Write a compact contract before broad code or content:
+
+| Field | Required form |
+| --- | --- |
+| audience/context | prior skills, player count, platform/input, session length, accessibility assumptions |
+| player promise | “The player repeatedly [verb/decision] so they feel [specific experience]” |
+| pillars | two or three observable behaviors or feelings |
+| anti-pillars | experiences the game must not drift toward |
+| core decision | situation, known information, viable options, tradeoff, consequence, recurrence |
+| completion proof | one end-to-end scenario a target player can perform and explain |
+| falsifier | observation that would show the design does not work |
+
+### Build the minimum design
+
+1. Model each core verb from cue through future consequence.
+2. Draw moment, encounter, session, and meta loops.
+3. Draw resources and feedback structures.
+4. Map player skills and progression channels.
+5. Define failure, recovery, stopping, and replay.
+6. Create a content grammar: a small set of mechanics crossed with contexts and constraints.
+7. Select the riskiest assumption and build one vertical design slice around it.
+
+Do not build the entire feature list first. A vertical slice contains real input, meaningful state, feedback, one decision that recurs, failure/recovery, and a downstream consequence.
+
+## 2. Existing-game audit
+
+### Reconstruct reality
+
+Inspect actual code, catalogs, scene documents, UI, tests, captures, and live play. Do not infer the game from its title or README.
+
+Trace four journeys when applicable:
+
+- **first minute:** first input, goal, threat, reward, confusion, and reason to continue
+- **first objective:** learning sequence, decisions, failure, recovery, payoff, and next goal
+- **representative session:** loop renewal, variety, resource pressure, build choices, pacing, and stopping point
+- **campaign/meta:** unlock cadence, content reuse, escalation, economy stability, mastery, and ending/replay
+
+For each journey, record timestamps or event order:
+
+`cue -> player belief -> action -> system response -> feedback -> state change -> next choice`
+
+Mark dead time, repeated decisions, forced actions, hidden consequences, false affordances, unexplained failure, and rewards that do not alter later play.
+
+### Build a system-coupling map
+
+Inventory verbs, enemies/problems, items/tools, progression, economy, quests/objectives, world states, social systems, and failure. For each system ask:
+
+- Which pillar does it serve?
+- Which loop consumes its output?
+- What player decision does it create or transform?
+- Where is it taught, tested, combined, and mastered?
+- What happens if it is removed?
+
+Flag systems that are present but disconnected, content whose only variation is numbers or nouns, and rewards that bypass the core play.
+
+### Diagnose decision density
+
+Do not maximize decisions per second. Find long spans where the player executes an already-solved action without new information, tradeoffs, expression, pressure, or mastery. Measure:
+
+- time to first meaningful decision
+- meaningful decisions per encounter/objective
+- time between new information and commitment
+- percentage of objectives using each verb or decision type
+- repeated content before context changes
+- time from failure to a useful retry
+
+## 3. Mandatory models
+
+### Loop table
+
+| Horizon | Cue/goal | Decision/action | Feedback | State changed | Why repeat? | Failure risk |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+
+Reject any row whose “state changed” or “why repeat” is empty.
+
+### Resource-flow table
+
+| Resource | Source | Store/cap | Spend/convert | Sink | Player decision | Feedback/runaway risk |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+
+Include time, health, space, information, attention, action opportunities, and social trust when relevant.
+
+### Progression table
+
+| Unlock/reward | Channel | New decision or capability | Content it recontextualizes | Risk of invalidation/grind | Proof |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+
+Channels are mastery, access, breadth, power, and expression/status. Passive percentages without a changed decision must justify their place.
+
+### Objective/encounter variety matrix
+
+Cross objective verbs with information state, constraints, enemy/problem behavior, topology, resource pressure, failure condition, and consequence. This exposes campaigns where every mission is the same verb with different nouns.
+
+## 4. Ranking interventions
+
+Separate symptoms from root causes. “Quests are boring” is a symptom. “Every quest uses the same kill-count transition and no objective changes space, resources, or strategy” is a testable cause.
+
+Rank each candidate:
+
+| Candidate | Player behavior changed | Pillar impact | Reach | Evidence/confidence | Effort/risk | Dependencies | Shared owner |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+
+Use three horizons:
+
+- **Minimum correction:** remove the largest contradiction or unblock the loop.
+- **Strong target:** make one representative slice deliver the promise end to end.
+- **Multiplier:** expand the proven grammar across content, progression, social play, or replay.
+
+Choose by leverage, not novelty. Prefer a change that improves many encounters or future games over bespoke content with the same underlying decision.
+
+## 5. Design-slice specification
+
+The selected slice must state:
+
+- before behavior and evidence
+- target behavior and player belief
+- mechanics/dynamics expected to cause the change
+- objective/encounter sequence and pacing beats
+- resources, rewards, failure, recovery, and downstream consequence
+- affected catalogs/config, shared package seams, scene semantics, UI feedback, and tests
+- tuning variables with starting hypotheses and safe bounds
+- explicit non-goals and content held constant
+- acceptance scenario and falsifiers
+
+If another game could use the mechanic, define the package primitive first and adopt it here. Keep game-local code for content and feel.
+
+## 6. Implementation and proof
+
+When the user asks to build or improve:
+
+1. Implement the shared primitive or use an existing capability.
+2. Adopt it in one complete game slice.
+3. Author spatial content through `level-design` and the editor.
+4. Add deterministic tests for transitions, resources, failure, and progression.
+5. Exercise the observable scenario with representative input.
+6. Capture before/after evidence for behavior, not only appearance.
+7. Evaluate the falsifier honestly; revise or remove a failed intervention.
+
+Useful evidence includes time to first decision, objective completion, route choice, build choice, resource state, failure cause, retry time, objective-verb distribution, and a player’s ability to explain goal/action/consequence. Metrics need a named hypothesis; do not optimize them in isolation.
+
+## 7. Failure modes
+
+- producing a long GDD instead of a playable slice
+- listing features without naming changed decisions
+- adding content to a shallow objective grammar
+- using passive progression to disguise unchanged play
+- copying a genre’s surface without its causal dynamics
+- treating more rewards as more motivation
+- fixing comprehension only with text or HUD
+- reporting a diagnosis after the user asked for improvement
+- calling deterministic tests proof that the experience works
+- calling a prettier screenshot proof that the loop works
