Abstract: Automating creative design workflows poses significant technical challenges in tool integration, knowledge retrieval, and controlled content generation. Recent progress in Large Language Models (LLMs) offers new opportunities, but it remains unclear how to enable LLMs to (1) coordinate multiple computational tools, (2) exploit large design libraries in a structured manner, and (3) generate novel artifacts that extend beyond existing data. This dissertation investigates these questions through the domain of automated card-game prototyping, a setting that demands novel game mechanics design, consistent code generation, and scalable gameplay AI.List of Publications: Danrui Li, Sen Zhang, Samuel S.
