+# MetaHarness: gaming vertical
+
+A ready-made multi-agent game-design pod scaffolded as a Claude Code harness. One command drops a working `claude-code` plugin directory on disk with four specialist agents wired up — a concept lead, a mechanics designer, a balance analyst, and a playtest critic — plus the project settings, slash commands, and MCP plumbing needed to actually run them. Aimed at solo designers, game-jam teams, and studios who want a structured pod for ideation and iteration instead of a single generalist prompt. This is a scaffold, not a game engine: it does not ship Unity/Unreal/Godot integrations, no asset pipeline, no live ops — it gives you the design loop, you bring the runtime.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+```bash
+npx @metaharness/gaming@latest my-bot
+cd my-bot && npm install && harness doctor
+```
+
+The `harness doctor` step validates that Claude Code is on PATH, the plugin manifest parses, and each agent's model tier is reachable.
+
+## What you get
+
+- `agents/concept-lead.md` — pitch and high-concept exploration (tier: **opus**)
+- `agents/mechanics-designer.md` — core loop, systems, and rule specification (tier: **sonnet**)
+- `agents/balance-analyst.md` — numeric tuning, curves, and economy modelling (tier: **sonnet**)
+- `agents/playtest-critic.md` — adversarial critique, fun audit, edge-case hunting (tier: **haiku**)
+- `commands/pitch.md`, `commands/loop.md`, `commands/balance.md`, `commands/playtest.md` — slash commands that route to the right agent
+- `.claude/settings.json` — plugin manifest, permissions, and hook wiring
+- `CLAUDE.md` — pod operating rules: who calls whom, when to fan out, when to converge
+
+## Advanced
+
+```bash
+# Validate the scaffold and the model routing
+harness doctor
+# => OK  plugin manifest
+# => OK  agents/concept-lead.md          (claude-opus)
+# => OK  agents/mechanics-designer.md    (claude-sonnet)
+# => OK  agents/balance-analyst.md       (claude-sonnet)
+# => OK  agents/playtest-critic.md       (claude-haiku)
+
+# Lint frontmatter, agent tier hints, and command routing
+harness validate
+# => 4 agents, 4 commands, 0 errors
+
+# Run the pod headless against a design brief
+claude -p --plugin-dir ./my-bot "/pitch a co-op deckbuilder set on a generation ship"
+# => concept-lead drafts pitch -> mechanics-designer proposes core loop
+# => balance-analyst flags one runaway resource curve
+# => playtest-critic returns 6 fun-risk findings
+```
+
+## FAQ
+
+**Does this generate a playable game?**
+No. It generates design artifacts — pitch docs, mechanic specs, balance tables, playtest critiques. Hand those to your engine of choice.
+
+**Why four agents instead of one prompt?**
+Because "design a game" is the kind of task where a single generalist regresses to genre cliches. Splitting concept / mechanics / balance / playtest forces each pass to defend its choices to the next agent.
+
+**Can I swap the model tiers?**
+Yes. Each agent's frontmatter has a `model` field. Drop `playtest-critic` to `haiku` for cheap iteration, bump `concept-lead` to `opus` when you want the high-concept work to stretch.
