SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates visual inconsistency in game asset production by creating a formal, gated art bible specification that locks the game's visual identity before any assets are created, ensuring all art, UI, and VFX align with the intended creative direction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided 9-Section Authoring: Walks through visual identity statement, mood & atmosphere, shape language, color system, character/environment/UI direction, asset standards, and reference direction with specialized art director agent delegation.
  • Retrofit Mode: Automatically detects incomplete sections in existing art bibles and only fills gaps, never overwriting completed work.
  • Flexible Review Modes: Supports lean, full, and solo review modes to fit different team sizes and project stages.
  • Use Case: For the 90s F1-style Overdrive racing game, this Skill would define the exact retro color palette, geometric shape language for cars and tracks, and lighting rules to ensure all assets match the intended 90s racing aesthetic.

Quick Start

Use the art-bible skill to generate a full visual identity specification for your game after your game concept has been approved.
