-# Correct Course Task - Game Development
-
-## Purpose
-
-- Guide a structured response to game development change triggers using the `{root}/checklists/game-change-checklist`.
-- Analyze the impacts of changes on game features, technical systems, and milestone deliverables.
-- Explore game-specific solutions (e.g., performance optimizations, feature scaling, platform adjustments).
-- Draft specific, actionable proposed updates to affected game artifacts (e.g., GDD sections, technical specs, Unity configurations).
-- Produce a consolidated "Game Development Change Proposal" document for review and approval.
-- Ensure clear handoff path for changes requiring fundamental redesign or technical architecture updates.
-
-## Instructions
-
-### 1. Initial Setup & Mode Selection
-
-- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:**
-  - Confirm with the user that the "Game Development Correct Course Task" is being initiated.
-  - Verify the change trigger (e.g., performance issue, platform constraint, gameplay feedback, technical blocker).
-  - Confirm access to relevant game artifacts:

-# Create Game Story Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-To identify the next logical game story based on project progress and epic definitions, and then to prepare a comprehensive, self-contained, and actionable story file using the `Game Story Template`. This task ensures the story is enriched with all necessary technical context, Unity-specific requirements, and acceptance criteria, making it ready for efficient implementation by a Game Developer Agent with minimal need for additional research or finding its own context.
-
-## SEQUENTIAL Task Execution (Do not proceed until current Task is complete)
-
-### 0. Load Core Configuration and Check Workflow
-
-- Load `{root}/core-config.yaml` from the project root
-- If the file does not exist, HALT and inform the user: "core-config.yaml not found. This file is required for story creation. You can either: 1) Copy core-config.yaml from GITHUB bmad-core/ and configure it for your game project OR 2) Run the BMad installer against your project to upgrade and add the file automatically. Please add and configure before proceeding."
-- Extract key configurations: `devStoryLocation`, `gdd.*`, `gamearchitecture.*`, `workflow.*`
-
-### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation
-
-#### 1.1 Locate Epic Files and Review Existing Stories
-
-- Based on `gddSharded` from config, locate epic files (sharded location/pattern or monolithic GDD sections)
-- If `devStoryLocation` has story files, load the highest `{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` file
-- **If highest story exists:**
-  - Verify status is 'Done'. If not, alert user: "ALERT: Found incomplete story! File: {lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md Status: [current status] You should fix this story first, but would you like to accept risk & override to create the next story in draft?"
-  - If proceeding, select next sequential story in the current epic
-  - If epic is complete, prompt user: "Epic {epicNum} Complete: All stories in Epic {epicNum} have been completed. Would you like to: 1) Begin Epic {epicNum + 1} with story 1 2) Select a specific story to work on 3) Cancel story creation"
-  - **CRITICAL**: NEVER automatically skip to another epic. User MUST explicitly instruct which story to create.
-- **If no story files exist:** The next story is ALWAYS 1.1 (first story of first epic)
-- Announce the identified story to the user: "Identified next story for preparation: {epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}"
-
-### 2. Gather Story Requirements and Previous Story Context
-
-- Extract story requirements from the identified epic file or GDD section
-- If previous story exists, review Dev Agent Record sections for:
-  - Completion Notes and Debug Log References
-  - Implementation deviations and technical decisions
-  - Unity-specific challenges (prefab issues, scene management, performance)
-  - Asset pipeline decisions and optimizations
-- Extract relevant insights that inform the current story's preparation
-
-### 3. Gather Architecture Context
-
-#### 3.1 Determine Architecture Reading Strategy
-
-- **If `gamearchitectureVersion: >= v3` and `gamearchitectureSharded: true`**: Read `{gamearchitectureShardedLocation}/index.md` then follow structured reading order below
-- **Else**: Use monolithic `gamearchitectureFile` for similar sections
-
-#### 3.2 Read Architecture Documents Based on Story Type
-
-**For ALL Game Stories:** tech-stack.md, unity-project-structure.md, coding-standards.md, testing-resilience-architecture.md
