Manage a single game jam team through the full development workflow from design to submission.
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.
--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
Before starting, read .claude/local/config.md to get machine-specific paths:
JAM_DIR = <jam-path>
TEAM_DIR = $JAM_DIR/teams/<team-name>
TEAM_NAME = <team-name>
Read jam configuration:
Parse $JAM_DIR/config.md for:
VISIBILITY = public | private | local
Read jam name from brief:
Parse the ## Name section from $JAM_DIR/brief.md
JAM_NAME = <parsed-name>
REPO_NAME = $JAM_NAME-$TEAM_NAME
REPO_DIR = $GAME_REPOS_DIR/$REPO_NAME
Update status:
echo "initializing" > $TEAM_DIR/status.txt
Initialize team log:
Write to $TEAM_DIR/log.md:
# Team <name> Development Log
**Started:** YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
**Jam:** <jam-id>
---
## Phase 0: Initialization
Reading brief and setting up repository...
Read the jam brief:
cat $JAM_DIR/brief.md
Choose tech stack: As CTO, decide on tech stack based on brief requirements:
Document choice in team log.
Create game repository:
If VISIBILITY = public:
mkdir -p $REPO_DIR && cd $REPO_DIR
git init
gh repo create $REPO_NAME --public --source=. --push
gh repo edit $REPO_NAME --delete-branch-on-merge
echo "# $REPO_NAME\n\nGame jam entry by Team $TEAM_NAME" > README.md
git add README.md
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master
If VISIBILITY = private:
mkdir -p $REPO_DIR && cd $REPO_DIR
git init
gh repo create $REPO_NAME --private --source=. --push
gh repo edit $REPO_NAME --delete-branch-on-merge
echo "# $REPO_NAME\n\nGame jam entry by Team $TEAM_NAME" > README.md
git add README.md
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master
If VISIBILITY = local:
mkdir -p $REPO_DIR && cd $REPO_DIR
git init
echo "# $REPO_NAME\n\nGame jam entry by Team $TEAM_NAME" > README.md
git add README.md
git commit -m "Initial commit"
(No GitHub repo created, local only)
Log completion:
If public or private:
[HH:MM:SS] Repository created: https://github.com/.../$REPO_NAME (visibility)
[HH:MM:SS] Tech stack: [chosen stack]
If local:
[HH:MM:SS] Local repository created: $REPO_DIR

Update status:
echo "designing" > $TEAM_DIR/status.txt
Spawn Designer agent:
Use Task tool with designer agent:
Copy GDD to team directory: Designer writes to repo, also copy to:
cp $REPO_DIR/gdd.md $TEAM_DIR/gdd.md
Log design complete:

- Game: [title]
- Core mechanic: [summary]
- MVP features: [count]
Update status:
echo "architecting" > $TEAM_DIR/status.txt
Architecture loop (max 3 iterations):
For each iteration:
a. Spawn Architect agent:
b. Spawn Plan Reviewer agent:
c. Check verdict:
Copy plan to repo:
cp $TEAM_DIR/implementation-plan.md $REPO_DIR/
Log architecture complete:
## Phase 2: Architecture
[HH:MM:SS] Architecture complete after N iteration(s)
- Phases planned: [count]
- Key decisions: [summary]
Update status:
echo "implementing" > $TEAM_DIR/status.txt
Implementation loop (max 3 iterations):
For each iteration:
a. Spawn Senior Developer agent:
b. Update status to reviewing:
echo "reviewing" > $TEAM_DIR/status.txt
c. Spawn Code Reviewer agent:
d. Check verdict:
Log implementation complete:
## Phase 3: Implementation
[HH:MM:SS] Implementation complete after N iteration(s)
- Game status: [playable/partial]
- Features implemented: [list]
Update status:
echo "submitting" > $TEAM_DIR/status.txt
Spawn Release Engineer agent:
Get repo location:
If public or private:
gh repo view --json url -q .url
If local:
Use local path: $REPO_DIR
Write submission file:
Write to $TEAM_DIR/submission.md:
If public or private:
# Team <name> Submission
