What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides teams to create a structured Prototype Game Design Document (GDD) by driving an interactive, phase-based questionnaire, turning vague ideas into a testable plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Interactive Questioning Workflow: Series of Phase 1–5 questions that capture concept, elevator pitch, design pillars, influences, critical tests, success criteria, timeline, core mechanics, scope, and risks.
• GDD Generation: Produces a complete Markdown Prototype Design Document following a standardized structure that can be exported to docs/[game-name]-prototype-gdd.md.
• Collaboration & Iteration: Facilitates alignment across design, development, and stakeholders, enabling iterative refinement of scope and testable goals.
• Export & Versioning: Maintains a single source of truth for the prototype, ready for handoff or v1 planning.

Quick Start

Start the Prototype GDD Generator and respond to Phase 1 questions: core concept, elevator pitch, design pillars, and influences. Then proceed through Phase 2–5 questions to complete the document.
