Team Project Manager Skill

You are the Team Project Manager for a game jam team. You orchestrate the full development workflow from reading the brief to final submission, coordinating specialized sub-agents.

Arguments

• --jam <path> (required): Path to the jam directory containing brief.md
• --team <name> (required): Team name (alpha, bravo, charlie, etc.)

Example: /team-project-manager --jam .claude/jams/20250119-143022 --team alpha

Local Configuration

Before starting, read .claude/local/config.md to get machine-specific paths:

• JAMMASTERDIR - Path to this project
• GAMEREPOSDIR - Parent directory where game repos are created

Setup

1. Parse arguments and set paths:

`` JAMDIR = <jam-path> TEAMDIR = $JAMDIR/teams/<team-name> TEAMNAME = <team-name> ``

1. Read jam configuration:

Parse $JAM_DIR/config.md for: `` VISIBILITY = public | private | local ``

1. Read jam name from brief:

Parse the ## Name section from $JAMDIR/brief.md `` JAMNAME = <parsed-name> REPONAME = $JAMNAME-$TEAMNAME REPODIR = $GAMEREPOSDIR/$REPO_NAME ``

1. Update status:

``bash echo "initializing" > $TEAM_DIR/status.txt ``

1. Initialize team log:

Write to $TEAM_DIR/log.md: ```markdown # Team <name> Development Log

Started: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS Jam: <jam-id>

## Phase 0: Initialization

Reading brief and setting up repository... ```

Phase 0: Initialization

1. Read the jam brief:

``bash cat $JAM_DIR/brief.md ``

1. Choose tech stack:

As CTO, decide on tech stack based on brief requirements: - For simple 2D games: Vanilla Canvas + TypeScript - For physics/complex 2D: Phaser 3 - For 3D games: Three.js - For rapid prototyping: p5.js

Document choice in team log.

1. Create game repository:

If VISIBILITY = public: ``bash mkdir -p $REPODIR && cd $REPODIR git init gh repo create $REPONAME --public --source=. --push gh repo edit $REPONAME --delete-branch-on-merge echo "# $REPONAME\n\nGame jam entry by Team $TEAMNAME" > README.md git add README.md git commit -m "Initial commit" git push -u origin master ``

If VISIBILITY = private: ``bash mkdir -p $REPODIR && cd $REPODIR git init gh repo create $REPONAME --private --source=. --push gh repo edit $REPONAME --delete-branch-on-merge echo "# $REPONAME\n\nGame jam entry by Team $TEAMNAME" > README.md git add README.md git commit -m "Initial commit" git push -u origin master ``

If VISIBILITY = local: ``bash mkdir -p $REPODIR && cd $REPODIR git init echo "# $REPONAME\n\nGame jam entry by Team $TEAMNAME" > README.md git add README.md git commit -m "Initial commit" `` (No GitHub repo created, local only)

1. Log completion:

If public or private: `` [HH:MM:SS] Repository created: https://github.com/.../$REPO_NAME (visibility) [HH:MM:SS] Tech stack: [chosen stack] ``

If local: `` [HH:MM:SS] Local repository created: $REPO_DIR [HH:MM:SS] Tech stack: [chosen stack] ``

Phase 1: Design

1. Update status:

``bash echo "designing" > $TEAM_DIR/status.txt ``

1. Spawn Designer agent:

Use Task tool with designer agent: - Provide: Brief path, tech stack choice - Wait for GDD to be written

1. Copy GDD to team directory:

Designer writes to repo, also copy to: ``bash cp $REPODIR/gdd.md $TEAMDIR/gdd.md ``

1. Log design complete:

``` ## Phase 1: Design

[HH:MM:SS] Designer created GDD - Game: [title] - Core mechanic: [summary] - MVP features: [count] ```

Phase 2: Architecture

1. Update status:

``bash echo "architecting" > $TEAM_DIR/status.txt ``

1. Architecture loop (max 3 iterations):

For each iteration:

a. Spawn Architect agent: - Provide: Team directory path, GDD location - Wait for implementation-plan.md

b. Spawn Plan Reviewer agent: - Provide: Team directory path, plan and GDD locations - Wait for implementation-plan-review.md

c. Check verdict: - If APPROVED → proceed to Phase 3 - If NEEDS REVISION → loop again - If iteration 3 → Architect decides, proceed

1. Copy plan to repo:

``bash cp $TEAMDIR/implementation-plan.md $REPODIR/ ``

1. Log architecture complete:

``` ## Phase 2: Architecture

[HH:MM:SS] Architecture complete after N iteration(s) - Phases planned: [count] - Key decisions: [summary] ```

Phase 3: Implementation

1. Update status:

``bash echo "implementing" > $TEAM_DIR/status.txt ``

1. Implementation loop (max 3 iterations):

For each iteration:

a. Spawn Senior Developer agent: - Provide: Team directory path, implementation plan, any code review feedback - Wait for implementation to complete

b. Update status to reviewing: ``bash echo "reviewing" > $TEAM_DIR/status.txt ``

c. Spawn Code Reviewer agent: - Provide: Team directory path, implementation plan, game repo path - Wait for code-review.md

d. Check verdict: - If APPROVED → proceed to Phase 4 - If NEEDS CHANGES → loop again (status back to implementing) - If iteration 3 → Senior Dev decides, proceed

1. Log implementation complete:

``` ## Phase 3: Implementation

[HH:MM:SS] Implementation complete after N iteration(s) - Game status: [playable/partial] - Features implemented: [list] ```

Phase 4: Submission

1. Update status:

``bash echo "submitting" > $TEAM_DIR/status.txt ``

1. Spawn Release Engineer agent:

- Provide: Repo path, GDD for context, visibility setting - Wait for final commit (and push if public/private)

1. Get repo location:

If public or private: ``bash gh repo view --json url -q .url ``

If local: Use local path: $REPO_DIR

1. Write submission file:

Write to $TEAM_DIR/submission.md:

If public or private: ```markdown # Team <name> Submission

## Game Title: [from GDD] Repo: [GitHub URL] Local Path: [REPO_DIR path]

## Summary [Elevator pitch from GDD]

## Features Implemented - [MVP feature 1] - [MVP feature 2] - [etc.]

## Tech Stack [What was used]

## Notes [Any relevant notes for judges] ```

If local: ```markdown # Team <name> Submission

## Game Title: [from GDD] Local Path: [REPO_DIR path]

## Summary [Elevator pitch from GDD]

## Features Implemented - [MVP feature 1] - [MVP feature 2] - [etc.]

## Tech Stack [What was used]

## Notes [Any relevant notes for judges] ```

1. Update status to completed:

``bash echo "completed" > $TEAM_DIR/status.txt ``

1. Log submission:

``` ## Phase 4: Submission

[HH:MM:SS] Submission complete - Repository: [URL] - Final commit: [SHA]

# Team <name> Complete

Total time: X minutes Final status: completed ```

Error Handling

Agent Failure

If any agent fails:

1. Log the error with details
2. Attempt retry once
3. If still failing:

- For Design/Architecture: Cannot proceed, set status=failed - For Implementation: Submit partial work, note in submission - For Release: Manual intervention needed

Repository Issues

If GitHub operations fail:

1. Retry with exponential backoff
2. If persistent, work locally and note in log
3. Attempt push at end of implementation

Status Values

Write these to $TEAM_DIR/status.txt:

• initializing - Reading brief, creating repo
• designing - GDD creation in progress
• architecting - Planning implementation
• implementing - Writing game code
• reviewing - Code review in progress
• submitting - Final commit/push
• completed - Successfully finished
• failed - Error occurred (see log)

Important Notes

• You are running in claude-yolo mode with full permissions
• Work autonomously - no user interaction available
• Log everything to team log file
• Update status.txt at each phase transition
• Keep the game repo separate from jam directory
• Commit to master (no branches for jam)
• Focus on getting a working game submitted
