SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill standardizes and automates the governance step between development phases by evaluating readiness, validating required artifacts, and producing a formal PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL verdict that guides next steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects domain (game or product) from the concept document and applies domain-specific gate criteria.
  • Validates required artifacts against the workflow catalog and writes results to memory_bank with appropriate blockers or risk notes.
  • Supports user confirmation and collaboration through the Director Panel assessment flow.

Quick Start

Run /gate-check for the next target phase and review the resulting verdict.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate readiness to advance between development phases?▼

Phase transition readiness is evaluated by performing domain-aware gate checks that validate required artifacts and ADRs against a workflow catalog, producing a formal PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict to guide next steps.

What is a gate check in project governance?▼

Gate check in project governance is an automated evaluation step between development phases that validates required artifacts, enforces official blockers, notes risks, and records decisions to a memory bank with user-approved writes.

Can I use automated gate checks for both game and general product domains?▼

Yes, automated gate checks support both game and general product domains by auto-detecting the domain from the concept document and applying domain-specific gate criteria to validate required artifacts.

What's the best way to validate required artifacts before a phase transition?▼

The best way to validate required artifacts before a phase transition is running an automated gate check that cross-references artifacts against the workflow catalog and produces a formal PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict.

Does the gate check process support user confirmation for recorded decisions?▼

Yes, the gate check process supports user confirmation and collaboration through a Director Panel assessment flow, and only writes decisions to the memory bank with explicit user-approved writes.
