game-quality-gates

What This Skill Does

The game-quality-gates skill serves as a comprehensive diagnostic and developmental framework for web-based games (Phaser, Three.js, H5, Canvas). It enforces the 12 Universal Rules of game development, targeting critical areas like lifecycle management, performance, and state consistency. By acting as a validator for your project, this skill helps identify 'phantom' bugs—those elusive issues arising from scene transitions, memory leaks, or improper timer management—ensuring your game remains stable across diverse device platforms.

Installation

Install this skill via the OpenClaw command-line interface to integrate the quality gates directly into your development workflow:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/abczsl520/game-quality-gates

Use Cases

• Pre-Deployment Checklist: Verify that your asset cleanup and persistence logic are robust before releasing to production.
• Debugging Memory Leaks: Use the criteria to identify objects or event listeners that persist after scene transitions.
• State Management Audits: Review game loops to ensure buffs, timers, and input handling are properly synchronized and frame-rate independent.
• Mobile Optimization: Ensure audio lifecycle and touch input logic comply with mobile browser constraints like iOS autoplay restrictions.

Example Prompts

1. 'Run a quality gate audit on my current Phaser scene to identify potential memory leaks and orphaned timers.'
2. 'Analyze my current cleanup function for the player state to ensure it follows the Single Cleanup Entry Point rule.'
3. 'Check my game loop implementation to see if it meets the Frame-Rate Independent Logic requirements for a consistent experience at both 30 and 60fps.'

Tips & Limitations

• The skill is most effective when applied at the architectural phase of your project. Applying it to a heavily matured, 'spaghetti-code' project may require significant refactoring.
• Always use Chrome DevTools Memory snapshots alongside this skill for verifying resource disposal.
• Remember that localStorage is limited to 5MB; if your save state exceeds this, use the IndexedDB advice provided in the skill documentation.
• Always prioritize testing on target mobile browsers (especially Safari/iOS and WeChat WebView) where audio and input quirks are most prevalent.
