Prompt for your agent

Goal: Build accessible tools and games for someone who uses switch access.
Setup: agents used in source: Claude; tools/MCPs stated: VS Code.
Steps:
1. Use Claude as a thought partner to plan games and write GDDs and spec sheets before building.
2. Build in VS Code with the Claude Code extension: describe what the person needs; let it write the code.
3. Start with a keyboard and phrase boards, then texting, web search, show/movie picking and games.
4. Test with the person and iterate.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
