SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you determine whether a game project is ready to advance to a specified next development phase by checking for required artifacts, quality expectations, and actionable blockers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-gated readiness validation: Produces a PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL verdict for transitions like Concept → Systems Design, or Technical Setup → Pre-Production.
  • Artifact + quality checks: Verifies existence and meaningful content for key docs (GDDs, architecture docs, ADRs, UX specs) and performs targeted cross-document consistency checks.
  • Director panel assessment: Summons creative, technical, producer, and art directors to assess readiness in parallel and summarizes their readiness signals before finalizing the verdict.
  • Stage update on pass: When the gate passes and you confirm, it updates production/stage.txt with the next stage name.

Quick Start

Run gate-check for the next phase by asking the AI: "Check if we can advance to Production using lean review mode."

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my game project is ready to move to the next development phase?▼

Phase-gate readiness validation checks artifact presence, content quality, and actionable blockers to produce a PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict for advancing between game development phases.

What is a phase gate review in game development?▼

A phase gate review validates project readiness to advance between development phases by verifying required artifacts like GDDs and ADRs, performing cross-document consistency checks, and assessing quality expectations.

How do I validate required artifacts like GDDs and architecture docs before starting pre-production?▼

Artifact and quality checks verify the existence and meaningful content of key documents like GDDs, architecture docs, ADRs, and UX specs, while performing targeted cross-document consistency checks before phase advancement.

Can I use director panel assessments for project readiness validation?▼

Yes, director panel assessments summon creative, technical, producer, and art directors to assess readiness in parallel, summarizing their readiness signals before finalizing the phase-gate verdict.

Does phase-gate logic require YAML definitions to validate stage transitions?▼

Yes, phase-gate logic requires YAML-defined rules to validate project readiness, utilizing conditional prompts for unverifiable items and parallel director execution to assess stage transitions.

When should I not auto-detect the current development stage for phase gate reviews?▼

Auto-detection of the current stage is optional and requires explicit user confirmation, meaning you should bypass it when your stage tracking is ambiguous or you need to manually enforce a specific transition checkpoint.
