Research and ideation partner for GAME DESIGN — think through design ideas before writing them into the GDD; produces a brief, never edits the GDD itself. Use to assess a genre or market for viability, dissect a reference game (mechanics → dynamics → aesthetics), explore how to improve or extend an existing system, flow, or content type, research new mechanics the design lacks, investigate a part of the GDD in code, or develop the research bucket of a /unikit-gd-review report into decided edits. Trigger on "explore how to improve the flow", "ways to improve the combat system", "is this genre saturated", "break down the combat of Hades", "work out the review's open questions". GAME-DESIGN research only — for CODE or technical research use /unikit-explore; to reconstruct a design from code use /unikit-gd-recon; to write a change into the GDD use /unikit-gd-system or /unikit-gd-spec; to apply edits you know use /unikit-gd-apply; to invent a new game use /unikit-gd-brainstorm.
