How does the sub-agent system work?

The skill spawns specialized task-specific agents like 'game-source-researcher' or 'lovely-patch-researcher' to perform deep-dive research into specific directories without cluttering your main conversation context.

What utility commands are included?

It includes commands for initializing mods, syncing files to your game directory, fixing transparency borders on sprites, and managing version releases.

Does it help with debugging runtime errors?

Absolutely. The skill features a debug-inspector agent and a dedicated debug command that analyzes Lovely logs and runtime dumps to identify and fix issues.

Can I use this for both desktop and mobile modding?

Yes, the skill includes specialized references, directory paths, and code patterns for both desktop and mobile (iOS/Android) Balatro environments.

Which Balatro modding frameworks are supported?

This skill provides full support for Steamodded, SMODS, and the Lovely injector, including specific documentation patterns and research agents for each.
