# StoryQuest — Full Stack Game Plan

## Current State Audit

**What exists (partially or broken):**
- Auth, onboarding flow, character create ✅
- Dungeon generation (rooms, corridors, floor layout) ✅
- Phaser game loop with movement ✅ (movement works, no mobile joystick)
- Battle system with reading challenges ✅ (fixed questions today)
- Shop modal + backend ✅ (fixed API path today)
- Inventory/gear system ✅ (backend works, frontend fixed today)
- Talent/perk system ⚠ (modal exists, backend partial, level-up trigger unreliable)
- XP/leveling ⚠ (frontend-only math, not always saved to DB)
- Gold drops from enemies ❌ (not wired end to end)
- NPC/quest system ❌ (scaffolded, not functional)
- Multiple floors / floor progression ❌
- Admin dashboard ⚠ (exists, incomplete)
- Scrolls page, Trophies page ❌ (stubs)
- Mobile joystick ⚠ (rendered but movement not wired to Phaser input)
- Spell upgrade chain ⚠ (just built but needs testing end to end)
- Adaptive difficulty (reading_power scaling) ⚠ (service exists, not hooked in)

---

## PHASE PLAN

---

### PHASE 1 — Core Loop Stability *(Do this first — nothing else matters if the core loop is broken)*

**Goal:** Fight → Read → Win → Get reward → Level up → Keep playing. Reliably. Every time.

#### 1A — Battle resolution pipeline (end to end)
- [ ] `BattleScene` correct answer → emit `battle-won` with `{xp, gold, lootItem?}`
- [ ] `GameCanvas` catches `battle-won` → calls backend `POST /game/reading/submit` to record the win
- [ ] Backend awards XP to DB, awards gold to DB, optionally drops loot to `user_gear`
- [ ] Backend returns `{ new_level, xp_current, xp_next, gold, loot }` to frontend
- [ ] `GameCanvas` emits `xp-gained`, `gold-gained`, `loot-dropped` to Phaser registry
- [ ] `UIScene` updates HP/XP/Gold bars from those events

#### 1B — Level-up trigger (reliable)
- [ ] Backend `/reading/submit` returns `leveled_up: true` + `new_level` when XP threshold crossed
- [ ] Frontend detects this and fires `LevelUpModal` with correct `knownSpells` from DB
- [ ] On talent chosen → `POST /profile/perk` → saves to DB → response returns updated `known_spells`
- [ ] `GameCanvas` updates registry `heroData.knownSpells` from response
- [ ] `BattleScene` reloads spell list from registry on next battle

#### 1C — Gold drops from enemies (wired)
- [ ] Enemy types have gold drop ranges in DB (`enemies` table or seed)
- [ ] Backend `reading/submit` rolls loot: `gold = random(enemy.gold_min, enemy.gold_max)`
- [ ] `users.gold` updated in DB on every win
- [ ] Gold shown in HUD updates live

#### 1D — Death / failure state
- [ ] When player HP hits 0 → `game-over` event
- [ ] `GameCanvas` shows "You Fell" screen with XP earned this run
- [ ] Option: Revive (spend gold) or Return to village (dashboard)
- [ ] Player HP restored to 50% on death, floor resets

---

### PHASE 2 — Character Progression System

**Goal:** Every session feels like meaningful progress. Spells evolve. Stats grow. Gear matters.

#### 2A — Spell upgrade chain (backend + constants)
- [ ] `spells` table seeded with all spells + tiers (zap/zap2/zap3, flame/flame2/flame3, etc.)
- [ ] `SPELLS` constant in `constants.ts` expanded with damage/mana for all tiers
- [ ] `BattleScene` reads spell tier from `knownSpells` and applies correct damage
- [ ] Spell incantation text in reading challenges matches the spell chosen
- [ ] `LevelUpModal` correctly shows upgrade options based on what player has

#### 2B — Gear stat application
- [ ] Equipped gear from `user_gear` actually modifies stats at battle start
- [ ] `BattleScene` init: fetch equipped gear → add `stat_str` to attack, `stat_int` to spell damage, etc.
- [ ] HP max from gear applied (show on HUD)
- [ ] Shop purchases go into `user_gear` with `equipped: false` (into backpack)

#### 2C — Adaptive difficulty
- [ ] `reading_power` (1–5) on user drives question grade level in `reading.py`
- [ ] After 3 correct answers in a row → increment `reading_power` by 0.25
- [ ] After 2 wrong in a row → decrement `reading_power` by 0.25
- [ ] `AdaptiveService` in backend already exists — wire it into `reading/submit`

#### 2D — Talent tree persistence
- [ ] `users` table: add `talent_points_spent JSONB` column to track what was chosen
- [ ] `profile/perk` endpoint: validate you can't take same perk twice (unless it has tiers)
- [ ] CharacterSheet Gear tab: show "Talents" subtab listing what was unlocked

---

### PHASE 3 — Dungeon World

**Goal:** The dungeon feels alive. Multiple floors. Secrets. NPCs. Quests.

#### 3A — Floor progression
- [ ] Stairs tile in dungeon → player steps on it → `POST /floor/next` → loads floor N+1
- [ ] Each floor: harder enemies, better loot, new room types
- [ ] Floor themes: `stone` (1-3), `crypt` (4-6), `lava` (7-9), `void` (10+)
- [ ] `DungeonScene` reloads floor data and re-renders tilemap on floor change
- [ ] `UIScene` floor label updates

#### 3B — Enemy variety
- [ ] `enemies` table seeded: slime, rat, skeleton, ghost, goblin, orc, dragon (with HP, gold, XP values)
- [ ] Floor generator assigns enemy types by floor range
- [ ] `BattleScene` enemy sprite picked from `enemy.sprite_key`
- [ ] Boss rooms on every 3rd floor (larger HP pool, better loot, harder questions)

#### 3C — NPC system
- [ ] Shop NPC: merchant sprite in shop rooms, walk up → "Interact" → opens `ShopModal`
- [ ] Quest NPC: "Quest Giver" sprite in special rooms, gives 1 quest per floor
- [ ] Quest types: "Defeat 3 skeletons", "Find the golden key", "Read 5 passages"
- [ ] Quest tracked in `sessions` table: `quest_id`, `quest_progress`, `quest_complete`
- [ ] Reward on completion: bonus gold + XP + rare gear drop

#### 3D — Chest loot table
- [ ] Chest rarities: wooden (common), iron (uncommon), gold (rare)
- [ ] Loot table: common chest → gear or gold, rare chest → always gear + spell scroll
- [ ] Spell scroll: "Scroll of Ice" → unlocks ice spell if not known, or 50g if already known
- [ ] Chests tracked in `loot_drops` table (one entry per open, prevents re-opening on scene reload)

#### 3E — Map / minimap
- [ ] Phaser overlay (depth 150): draws minimap in top-right corner of dungeon
- [ ] Shows explored rooms as dim tiles, current room bright, unexplored as black
- [ ] Updates as player moves room to room
- [ ] Boss room marked with skull icon

---

### PHASE 4 — Reading System Expansion

**Goal:** Reading is the game. It needs variety, quality, and to feel rewarding not punishing.

#### 4A — Real LLM integration
- [ ] Add `OPENAI_API_KEY` or `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` to backend `.env`
- [ ] `LLMService` already has real implementation — just needs key
- [ ] Prompts generate passages based on player's `interests` (ninjas, dragons, etc.)
- [ ] Grade-appropriate language enforced via system prompt
- [ ] Fallback to expanded mock bank if API fails

#### 4B — Story mode (existing `/dungeon/story` route)
- [ ] Full story reading flow: multi-paragraph passage → 3 comprehension questions
- [ ] Progress bar through the story
- [ ] Reward: large XP bonus + story badge for `trophies` page
- [ ] Stories tied to dungeon floor theme (floor 1-3 = cave stories, 4-6 = crypt lore, etc.)

#### 4C — Question quality audit
- [ ] All mock questions reviewed: no "Bright is a color" type errors ✅ (done today for grade 1)
- [ ] Grade 2-6 question banks need same treatment
- [ ] Add `difficulty_rating` field — wrong answers tracked → question retired if >80% fail rate
- [ ] "Dodge" questions (time-based) use simpler language than normal battle questions

#### 4D — Reading streaks + bonuses
- [ ] `users.streak_days` already in DB
- [ ] Backend: on login, check `last_session_date` — if yesterday, increment streak
- [ ] Streak bonuses: 3 days = +10% XP, 7 days = +25% XP, 30 days = special badge
- [ ] `dashboard` page shows streak flame icon and count

---

### PHASE 5 — UI / UX Polish

**Goal:** Looks great on a phone. Kids can use it without help.

#### 5A — Mobile joystick (actually working)
- [ ] Virtual joystick plugin for Phaser already loaded — wire to player velocity in `DungeonScene`
- [ ] Two-zone layout: left 40% = joystick, right 60% = attack/interact buttons
- [ ] Attack button during battle: tap to cast selected spell
- [ ] "Interact" button appears when near chest/NPC

#### 5B — Character portrait frame (HUD)
- [ ] Class-specific icon in portrait circle ✅ (built today)
- [ ] Animate portal glow when leveling up
- [ ] Show equipped weapon icon next to portrait

#### 5C — Battle scene polish
- [ ] Enemy enters from right with slide animation
- [ ] Player enters from left
- [ ] Spell cast: screen flash + particle burst in spell color
- [ ] Hit animation: enemy shakes, HP bar drains
- [ ] Victory: gold coins spray, XP bar fills with animation
- [ ] Defeat: screen dims, sad sound

#### 5D — Scrolls page (reading history)
- [ ] `/scrolls` page: list of all reading challenges completed
- [ ] Shows passage title, date, correct/wrong, spell used
- [ ] "Best answers" section: passages the player aced
- [ ] Driven by `reading_challenges` table (already records everything)

#### 5E — Trophies page
- [ ] `/trophies` page: achievement badges
- [ ] Achievement types: First Battle, Level 5, First Spell Upgrade, 10 chests opened, 7-day streak, Floor 5 reached, etc.
- [ ] Stored in `user_rewards` + `rewards` tables (already in DB)
- [ ] Animated badge reveal when earned

#### 5F — Dashboard improvements
- [ ] Show active quest
- [ ] Show current floor and enemies remaining
- [ ] Quick stats: battles won, questions correct %, current streak
- [ ] "Continue" goes directly back to current floor position

---

### PHASE 6 — Admin & Parent Portal

**Goal:** Teachers and parents can monitor kids, manage accounts, see reading data.

#### 6A — Admin dashboard (existing `/admin`)
- [ ] User list with level, grade, streak, last session ✅ (exists)
- [ ] Click user → see reading history, correct %, struggles
- [ ] Ability to: reset PIN, change grade, add gold (for testing)
- [ ] Export CSV of reading performance per student

#### 6B — Reading analytics
- [ ] Track: words read per session, question accuracy per grade level, time per question
- [ ] Flag students who consistently fail same question type
- [ ] Weekly report email (optional): "This week Chad read 3 stories and answered 47 questions correctly"

#### 6C — Multi-child accounts (parent mode)
- [ ] Parent login (email + password) at `/admin`
- [ ] Parent sees all their children's accounts
- [ ] Can add child, remove child, set screen time limit
- [ ] Child accounts linked via `parent_id` foreign key on `users`

---

### PHASE 7 — Infrastructure & Scale

**Goal:** This runs for real. Multiple players. No data loss.

#### 7A — Save state reliability
- [ ] Player position saved to `player_states` table every 30 seconds
- [ ] On reconnect: load last floor + position + HP
- [ ] `game_state` router already exists — needs periodic auto-save wired in `DungeonScene`

#### 7B — Session tracking
- [ ] `sessions` table: track start time, end time, XP earned, battles won per session
- [ ] Used for analytics + streak calculation

#### 7C — Docker + deployment
- [ ] `docker-compose.yml` health checks for backend + DB
- [ ] Nginx reverse proxy config (frontend on 80/443, backend on `/api`)
- [ ] `.env.production` template documented
- [ ] DB backup cron job

#### 7D — Real LLM (when ready)
- [ ] OpenAI / Anthropic API key in env
- [ ] Rate limiting: max 1 LLM call per battle (cache result for that session)
- [ ] Cost tracking: log tokens used per user per day

---

## BUILD ORDER (Recommended)

```
Phase 1 (1A→1D)  ← DO THIS WEEK — nothing works without it
Phase 2 (2A→2B)  ← Next — gear and spells actually matter
Phase 3 (3A→3B)  ← Multiple floors + enemy variety
Phase 4 (4A→4B)  ← LLM + story mode
Phase 5 (5A→5C)  ← Mobile controls + battle polish
Phase 3 (3C→3E)  ← NPCs + quests + minimap
Phase 5 (5D→5F)  ← Scrolls + trophies + dashboard
Phase 6           ← Admin/parent portal
Phase 7           ← Production hardening
Phase 2 (2C→2D)  ← Adaptive difficulty (last — needs data first)
```

---

Where do you want to start? I'd say **Phase 1A** — wiring the battle result end-to-end so XP, gold, and level-ups all go to the database reliably. That's the trunk everything else grows from.

AI-driven agile development framework — the [BMad Method](https://github.com/bmadcode/BMAD-METHOD) as an OpenClaw plugin.

Each workflow spawns a dedicated specialist agent (Analyst, PM, Architect, etc.) with fresh context — no bleeding between workflows. The BMad Master orchestrates the full software development lifecycle: analysis → planning → solutioning → implementation.

Why top-level? OpenClaw sub-agents cannot spawn other sub-agents. bmad-master needs to spawn specialist agents, so it must be a [top-level agent](https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/multi-agent) — not a sub-agent of main.

Two execution modes:

- YOLO — Autonomous. Sub-agent runs all steps without stopping. Master waits for announce, then proposes next workflow.

- Interactive — Sub-agent pauses after each step. User reviews output, gives feedback via the master. Master relays to sub-agent via sessions_send.

# Clone into OpenClaw extensions
git clone https://github.com/ErwanLorteau/BMAD_Openclaw.git ~/.openclaw/extensions/bmad-method

# Install dependencies
cd ~/.openclaw/extensions/bmad-method && npm install

Add to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
 plugins: {
 load: {
 paths: ["~/.openclaw/extensions/bmad-method"]
 },
 entries: {
 "bmad-method": {
 enabled: true,
 config: {}
 }
 }
 },

 agents: {
 list: [
 {
 // BMad Master as a top-level agent with BMad tools
 id: "bmad-master",
 name: "BMad Master",
 tools: {
 allow: ["bmad-method"] // Enable all BMad tools
 }
 }
 ]
 },

 tools: {
 agentToAgent: {
 enabled: true,
 allow: ["main", "bmad-master"]
 }
 }
}

Create the master's workspace:

mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/workspace-bmad

Then restart:

openclaw gateway restart

After restart, confirm the plugin loaded:

[plugins] BMad Method plugin loaded. Method path: ...
[plugins] BMad Method: registered 7 tools

- Start a chat with the BMad Master agent — it has all 7 BMad tools and will guide you through the full workflow: analysis → planning → solutioning → implementation.

- The BMad Master role-plays as different personas (Analyst, PM, Architect, etc.) while the plugin manages state and step progression.

The BMAD repo is a methodology framework, not an OpenClaw plugin that installs into the config. It's a set of markdown files with prompts/templates for the BMAD (Business-driven, Multi-Agent Development) workflow. The repo has agent personas and templates. Let me look at what's actually in it to understand the methodology, then apply it properly to StoryQuest planning.

The BMAD method consists of these roles:
1. **Analyst** - Elicits requirements, creates briefs
2. **PM (Product Manager)** - Creates PRD (Product Requirements Document)
3. **Architect** - Creates technical architecture

4. **Developer/SM** - Creates stories/tasks
5. **QA** - Reviews and validates

Now I need to examine the actual files in the cloned repo to see how these roles are structured and what templates they use.

Now I have a full picture of the BMAD framework. It's a structured 5-agent workflow: **Analyst → PM → Architect → Dev → QA**. Each produces a document that feeds the next. Let me run the full workflow for StoryQuest — I'll act as all agents in sequence, producing the actual artifact files in the project:

# StoryQuest — Product Brief
**Agent: Mary (Analyst) | Date: 2026-03-01**

---

## 1. Problem Statement

Children aged 5–12 (K-6) are not reading enough. Reading apps are boring, passive, and feel like homework. Games are engaging but teach nothing. The gap is: **no product combines genuine reading comprehension practice with real-time RPG gameplay reward loops.**

Teachers and parents want progress data. Kids want to feel like warriors and wizards. Nobody is serving both.

## 2. Target Users

| Segment | Description | Pain Point |
|---------|-------------|------------|
| **Primary: Child (K-6)** | Ages 5-12, plays on phone/tablet | Reading = punishment. Games = fun. No bridge exists. |
| **Secondary: Parent** | Wants screen time to be educational | Can't tell if the game is teaching anything |
| **Tertiary: Teacher** | Assigns reading, wants data | No visibility into at-home reading habits |

## 3. Opportunity

- 55M K-12 students in the US. Reading proficiency crisis (NAEP: only 33% of 4th graders read at grade level).
- EdTech market: $7.4B and growing. No dominant player in the "game-first reading" category.
- Parents spend $900/year per child on education apps. They will pay for something kids actually use.

## 4. Proposed Solution

**StoryQuest** — A dungeon-crawling RPG where all attacks, spells, and abilities are powered by reading comprehension. To cast a spell, you must read a passage and answer a question correctly. Higher reading level = stronger spells.

### Core Loop
```
Enter dungeon → Move through rooms → Encounter enemy →
Read passage → Answer question → Cast spell → Defeat enemy →
Get XP + Gold + Loot → Level up → Choose talent → Repeat (deeper floor)
```

### Differentiators
1. **Reading IS the gameplay** — not a mini-game bolted on, not optional
2. **Adaptive difficulty** — questions match each child's grade level and improve over time
3. **Class-based character builds** — Mage/Warrior/Rogue/Ranger with real spell trees
4. **Parent + teacher portal** — real analytics on reading performance
5. **Interest-based content** — stories about ninjas, dragons, dinosaurs, pirates (what kids love)

## 5. Success Metrics

| Metric | Target (6 months) |
|--------|-------------------|
| Daily active users | 1,000 |
| Avg session length | 15+ minutes |
| Questions answered/session | 10+ |
| 7-day retention | 40% |
| Reading accuracy improvement | +15% after 30 days |
| Parent NPS | >50 |

## 6. Risks

| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|-----------|
| LLM question quality | Expanded mock bank + human-reviewed fallback |
| Kids abandon on wrong answers | Forgiving dodge mechanic (15s timer), no instant death |
| Parent concern about screen time | Session time limits in parent portal |
| Repetitive questions | Per-user anti-repeat cache + rotating question pool |

## 7. Competitive Landscape

| Product | Strength | Weakness |
|---------|----------|---------|
| Prodigy Math | Strong game loop | Math only, reading neglected |
| Reading Eggs | Good content | Not a game, low engagement |
| Duolingo | Gamification mastered | No narrative, no RPG depth |
| Minecraft Education | High engagement | Not reading-focused |
| **StoryQuest** | Both game depth AND reading | New, unproven |

## 8. Scope

**In scope (v1.0):**
- Dungeon crawler core loop
- 3 character classes (Mage, Warrior, Rogue)
- 10 dungeon floors across 3 themes
- Reading challenges (grade 1-6)
- Inventory + gear system
- Talent tree with spell upgrades
- Parent dashboard with basic analytics
- iOS/Android via browser (PWA)

**Out of scope (v1.0):**
- Multiplayer
- Voice reading assessment
- Classroom management tools
- Native app (post-v1)

## Epic E1: Core Battle Loop

### E1-S1: Battle Resolution Pipeline
**As a player, when I defeat an enemy, I receive XP, gold, and sometimes loot — immediately visible in the HUD.**

Acceptance Criteria:
- [ ] Correct answer in BattleScene emits `battle-won` with xp/gold/loot payload
- [ ] Backend `POST /game/reading/submit` records the win and updates users table
- [ ] Response returns: `{ xp_earned, gold_earned, new_xp_current, new_level?, loot? }`
- [ ] HUD XP bar animates to new value
- [ ] HUD Gold counter animates to new value
- [ ] If loot dropped: toast notification "You found [item]!"

### E1-S2: Wrong Answer / Dodge Mechanic
**As a player, a wrong answer damages me but doesn't end the battle. I get to try again.**

Acceptance Criteria:
- [ ] Wrong answer → player takes `enemy.attack` damage
- [ ] HP bar animates down; screen flashes red briefly
- [ ] Same question re-presented OR new question (configurable)
- [ ] If HP hits 0 → battle-lost event fired
- [ ] Dodge mechanic: 15s timer; if expired, enemy attacks automatically (player takes damage, next question)

### E1-S3: Game Over / Death State
**As a player, when I die I see a dignified "You Fell" screen with my session stats — not a frustrating hard reset.**

Acceptance Criteria:
- [ ] `battle-lost` + HP=0 → GameCanvas shows GameOver overlay
- [ ] Overlay shows: XP earned this run, gold lost (50%), battles won this session
- [ ] Two buttons: "Revive" (costs 50 gold, restores 50% HP, same floor) or "Return to Village" (dashboard)
- [ ] If no gold: only "Return to Village" option
- [ ] On return: player HP reset to 50% max, floor resets to 1

### E1-S4: Enemy Types & Stats
**As a designer, enemy difficulty scales with floor number so progression feels earned.**

Acceptance Criteria:
- [ ] `enemies` table seeded with: Slime, Rat, Bat, Skeleton, Ghost, Goblin, Orc, Troll, Mage, Dragon
- [ ] Each enemy has: name, sprite_key, hp, attack, xp_reward, gold_min, gold_max, floor_min, floor_max
- [ ] Floor generator assigns enemies based on floor_min/floor_max
- [ ] Boss enemy appears every 3rd floor (3x HP, 2x XP, guaranteed rare loot)

---

## Epic E2: Character Progression

### E2-S1: XP & Leveling (Database)
**As a player, my level and XP are always correct — even if I close the app and come back.**

Acceptance Criteria:
- [ ] Every battle win calls backend and saves XP to `users.xp_total` + `users.xp_current`
- [ ] Level-up detected server-side: `new_level = floor(xp_total / 100) + 1` (or configured curve)
- [ ] `users.level` updated in DB on level-up
- [ ] Backend response flags `leveled_up: true, new_level: N`
- [ ] Frontend shows LevelUpModal on `leveled_up: true`

### E2-S2: Talent Tree — Spell Upgrades
**As a level 4 mage with Zap, I can choose to upgrade it to Chain Zap (bounces to 2 enemies) instead of learning a new spell.**

Acceptance Criteria:
- [ ] `LevelUpModal` shows 3 choices each level-up
- [ ] Choices generated from class talent tree based on `knownSpells`
- [ ] Upgrade options only shown if prerequisite spell is known
- [ ] Master tier (★★★) only shown if advanced tier is known
- [ ] Choosing a spell upgrade: removes base spell from `known_spells`, adds upgraded version
- [ ] Backend `POST /profile/perk` handles all perk types: unlock/upgrade/stat/hp
- [ ] Updated `known_spells` returned in response and saved to Phaser registry

### E2-S3: Spell Damage Scaling
**As a player, upgrading my Zap spell to Chain Zap makes a noticeable difference in battle.**

Acceptance Criteria:
- [ ] `constants.ts` SPELLS has damage values for all spell tiers (zap=15, zap2=25, zap3=40)
- [ ] BattleScene looks up damage from SPELLS[spellName] correctly
- [ ] Spell tier 2+ shows visual difference: larger particle burst, different color
