Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's coding agent. It runs in a terminal window, inside the folder you start it in, and can read, write and run files there.

Set up

If you followed Install on Windows or Install on Mac, you are ready. Otherwise, in short:

winget install --id Git.Git -e
winget install --id GitHub.cli -e
winget install Anthropic.ClaudeCode

brew install git gh
brew install --cask claude-code

Then get the kit and start Claude in it:

gh repo clone blindflugstudios/goa-modkit
cd goa-modkit
claude

The first time, Claude opens your browser so you can log in with your Claude account.

What Claude finds in this folder

File What it does
CLAUDE.md Loaded automatically. It pulls in AGENTS.md, the full rulebook.
.claude/skills/ One recipe per job. Claude uses them on its own when your request matches.
.claude/agents/mod-reviewer.md A second pair of eyes: checks a finished mod against every rule without changing it.
.claude/agents/translator.md Translates your mod's texts, keeping ids and placeholders intact.

Good first requests

Make me a mission where two Spitfires escort a damaged bomber home over the Channel.

Write an event script: when a pilot comes back from a successful mission, the crew's mood goes up a little.

Review my mod in mods/channel_escort and tell me what could go wrong.

Translate the texts of mods/channel_escort into German.

Tips

  • Start Claude inside the goa-modkit folder. Started anywhere else, it does not see the rules.
  • Say what you see in the game, in your own words. "The mission never shows up" is enough - Claude knows where to look.
  • Keep the kit current: ask Claude to "update the kit", or run git pull yourself. Your own mods in mods/ are never touched.
