Get set up

Everyone does the common steps first, then the track for their role. Ticking a box is remembered in this browser only. Finish the four steps under Everyone and the rest of this site — Dev environment, Art assets, and the 3D asset pipeline — unlocks.

This checklist only unlocks the site for you, in this browser. For the team to actually see your status, also open an onboarding issue on GitHub and check it off there as you go: open an Onboarding issue →

Some steps are waiting. The Unity project (Game/) hasn't been created yet. Steps that depend on it are marked waiting. Skip them for now and come back.

Everyone

These four unlock the rest of the site — do these regardless of your role.

Install Git for Windows and Git LFS Then run this once:
```
git lfs install
```
Get repository access and connect to it The repo is private (hansons/AllSystemsRed) — nothing below works until Winds adds you as a collaborator.
1. Ask Winds to add you: repo → Settings → Collaborators → Add people.
2. Accept the invite from the email, or at github.com/hansons/AllSystemsRed/invitations.
3. In VS Code, sign into GitHub: Accounts icon (bottom-left) → Sign in, or Command Palette → GitHub: Sign in.
4. Command Palette → Git: Clone → Clone from GitHub → pick hansons/AllSystemsRed → choose a local folder.
Prefer the terminal? Same result:
```
git clone https://github.com/hansons/AllSystemsRed.git
```
First clone/push will pop a browser sign-in — Git for Windows' Credential Manager handles it, no token to paste.
Check that the concept images are real images They're stored with Git LFS. This should list the PNGs; if they open as tiny text files, the second command fetches them.
```
git lfs ls-files
git lfs pull
```
Read How we work Five minutes. The spec is canon, and a few Unity rules keep the project from breaking.

Coder track

Install Unity Hub and Unity 6.3 LTS (6000.3.x) with Windows Build Support Once the project exists, use the exact version pinned in Game/ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt.
Open Game/ from Unity Hub waiting The Unity project is created once, through Unity Hub, inside an empty Game/ folder. After that, everyone opens it.
Confirm Visible Meta Files and Force Text serialization are on waiting Both keep scenes and assets diffable and merge-friendly in git.
Run the EditMode tests in Unity's Test Runner waiting The first tests arrive with the lightning-flash proof-of-concept.
Learn the Unity rules Commit .meta files, move and delete assets only inside the Editor, one person per scene, and one Unity process per project. Details.

Art and lore track

Use your usual 3D tools The pipeline diagram assumes Blender as the free default, but nothing requires it.
Read the 3D asset pipeline It shows the manual route and the automation options side by side, with links to each service.
Agree a concept hand-off format suggested A turnaround sheet (front, side, back) on a plain background for anything meant for 3D generation. This is a suggestion, not a decision.
Log the source of any generated 3D asset waiting Tool, plan tier, input image and date. The log doesn't exist yet; rights to generated assets depend on the plan tier.
Commit binaries through Git LFS The rules already cover PNG, PSD, FBX, GLB, audio and more. GitHub's free LFS quota is 10 GiB of storage and 10 GiB of bandwidth, so check before adding large source files such as raw renders or video.

Design and producer track (Claude Code)

Install Claude Code As a VS Code extension, in a terminal, or in the desktop app. Each person who runs it needs their own Claude plan.
Open the repo folder in Claude Code and accept the trust prompt Trusting the folder turns on the shared settings.
Install Unity's plugin Plugins from an external marketplace aren't installed automatically:
```
claude plugin install unity@unity-agent-plugin
```
Check the spec guard Ask Claude to make a trivial edit to Planet_Spec_Sheet.md and confirm it stops to ask first. Decline the edit. This hasn't been verified in a fresh session yet.

Troubleshooting

Concept images open as tiny text files. Run git lfs pull.
Unity says the project is already open. Only one Unity process can open a project. Close the Editor before a batch test run, and don't run one while the Editor is open.
Claude Code doesn't offer the Unity plugin. Accept the folder-trust prompt first, then run the install command above.
An asset lost its references after being moved. It was moved outside the Unity Editor, which breaks its GUID. Restore it from git and move it inside the Editor.
