SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you detect broken game balance by analyzing balance data, formulas, and configuration to identify outliers, degenerate strategies, and economy or progression imbalances before they ship.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-domain balance auditing: Reviews Combat, Economy, Progression, and Loot systems, or infers the domain from a provided file path.
  • Design-grounded verification: Compares actual values against the intended targets from the system’s GDD to distinguish valid tuning from true regressions.
  • Actionable diagnostic reporting: Produces a structured report with health summary, detected outliers, degenerate strategies, progression analysis, and prioritized recommendations.

Quick Start

Use the balance-check skill with the system name or the path to the data file you changed, for example: “Run a balance check for Combat using ./assets/data/combat-balance.csv”.

Frequently Asked Questions about balance-check

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect game balance regressions after editing combat or economy data files?▼

Game balance validation works by analyzing your balance data files, formulas, and configurations to compare actual values against intended GDD targets, distinguishing valid tuning from true regressions across combat, economy, progression, and loot systems.

How do I validate XP and power progression curves to find broken level scaling?▼

To check loot probability distributions and pity timers, run a balance check targeting your loot system to analyze distribution data and configuration files, identifying imbalances and verifying that pity timer mechanics function as intended.

Does game balance auditing work without a game design document?▼

For economy tuning and sink/faucet rate review, a balance check analyzes your economy configuration files to detect imbalances, surfacing degenerate strategies and providing prioritized recommendations to fix any identified issues.

What is the best way to fix degenerate strategies found during game balance analysis?▼

The best way to fix degenerate strategies is to use the structured diagnostic report from a balance check, which provides a health summary and prioritized recommendations that you can verify through an integrated fix and verify loop.
