README

What This Is

This repository gives you two things for BGA development with Claude Code: a ready-to-use skill file and a local testing harness. The skill file (SKILL.md) teaches Claude Code the project conventions and generation patterns, while the harness provides PHP and JS test scaffolding so generated logic can be validated locally. Use the skill alone if you only want better code generation, or use the full harness if you also want runnable tests.

Installation

Skill Only (No Testing Infrastructure)

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Add SKILL.md to your Claude Code workspace instructions.

Full Harness

1. Clone this repo into your BGA game's development dependencies.
2. Install PHP support:

composer require --dev thebgllc/bga-assist

1. Install JS support:

npm install --save-dev bga-assist

1. Extend BgaGameTestCase in your PHPUnit tests.

Using with Claude Code

These prompts are designed to map directly to the tested patterns in SampleGameTest.php:

1. "What happens if the active player submits only 2 cards?"
2. "Write tests for the _checkValidSet function"
3. "Generate a states.inc.php for a game with a bidding phase and a resolution phase"
4. "I'm getting a PHP error in my action method - what's wrong?"
5. "How do I notify only the active player when they draw a card?"

Running Tests

# PHP
./vendor/bin/phpunit

# JS
npm test
