Respond in the user's preferred language (detect from their recent messages, or fall back to the language setting in CLAUDE.md). Search for **game design** references to the problem currently being discussed. Focus on design patterns and player experience, not code. Arguments: $ARGUMENTS ## Process 1. Identify the core design question (e.g., "how to structure a survival loop on a ship", "how trading between cities creates interesting choices") 2. Search for game design analyses, GDC talks, postmortems, and design breakdowns using WebSearch. Good query patterns: - `"[game name]" game design analysis [mechanic]` - `GDC [mechanic] design postmortem` - `[mechanic] game design breakdown` 3. Organize into a comparison table: | Game | How they do it | What makes it fun | What we could borrow | |---|---|---|---| 4. Recommend which approach best fits this project's scope and feel, and why ## Notes - Focus on the **player experience**, not implementation — "RimWorld uses a bill queue per workbench that lets players set min/max thresholds" is good; "WorkGiver_DoBill class" is not - Prefer games the team has likely played or that are well-documented - Include at least one game from a different genre if it solves the same design problem in an interesting way - If searching yields thin results, lean on your own knowledge of game design — but flag which insights came from search vs. your own analysis
