Solebound — Development skill for Claude Code

SOLEBOUND — The Last Cobbler of Ashmarrow

**Made by [winchxyz](https://github.com/winchxyz) with Claude Opus 5**

A shoe-repair simulator about roads that remember. One HTML file, no dependencies, no asset files — every polygon, texture, sound and note is generated at runtime from code.

Play

Download **`SOLEBOUND.html`** and double-click it. That's the whole game.

It needs a browser with WebGL2 (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari 15+) and nothing else.

If you'd rather serve it over http — saves persist more reliably on a real origin, and you can open it from another device on your network:

node serve.js

then visit `http://localhost:8123`.

Memory soaks upward. Stone into sole, sole into leather. A worn shoe is a reliquary of a route. Mend the shoe *faithfully* — every stitch where the old stitch was — and the road it walked remembers itself back into being.

You have inherited the last shop on Lamplight Row. Twelve days. Twelve pairs.

How it plays

Day one walks you through it: a card in the corner advances as you actually do each thing. Whichever station you pick, **that instrument comes off the bench and into your hand** — the brush rides the leather and wobbles with your stroke, the awl dips on every stitch, the hammer swings on the beat, the heat iron glows.
