Adopt
From Claude-Code-Game-Studios by @donchitos · View on GitHub
Brownfield audit — do existing artifacts actually work? Numbered migration plan. Unlike /project-stage-detect, checks compliance not existence.
This skill ships inside the claude-code-game-studios package. Install the package to get this skill plus everything else in the bundle.
sv install donchitos/claude-code-game-studios!bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../hooks/yaml-helper.sh" resolve_config --keys review_mode,automation,automation_always_ask,workflow
Resolved above — use as-is. /adopt also inspects project.yaml and the legacy
config files directly when reporting and writing migration state; that raw
inspection is deliberate and separate from the resolved values above.
Adopt — Brownfield Template Adoption
This skill audits an existing project's artifacts for format compliance with the template's skill pipeline, then produces a prioritised migration plan.
This is not /project-stage-detect.
/project-stage-detect answers: what exists?
/adopt answers: will what exists actually work with the template's skills?
A project can have GDDs, ADRs, and stories — and every format-sensitive skill will still fail silently or produce wrong results if those artifacts are in the wrong internal format.
Output: docs/adoption-plan-[date].md — a persistent, checkable migration plan.

Phase 3 severity: full audits all doc types at full structure; standard audits
only the required docs/sections (optional sections are informational, not gaps);
minimal is a design/game-brief.md format check — GDDs/ADRs/UX are not expected. See Phase 2.

Collaborative Protocol
Applies in collaborative mode (the default). For guided and
autonomous modes, see .claude/docs/automation-modes.md — the rules below
describe what collaborative mode requires, not universal behavior.
- Read silently — complete the full audit before presenting anything
- Show the summary first — let the user see scope before asking to write
- Ask before writing — always confirm before creating the adoption plan file
- Offer, don't force — the plan is advisory; the user decides what to fix and when
- One action at a time — after handing off the plan, offer one specific next step,
not a list of six things to do simultaneously
- Never regenerate existing artifacts — only fill gaps in what exists;
do not rewrite GDDs, ADRs, or stories that already have content
