SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Brainstorming modern game concepts often suffers from scope creep and fragmented ideas. This skill provides a structured, collaborative process to surface, organize, and vet concepts into a cohesive game-concept document.

Core Features & Use Cases

Phase-driven ideation: Creative Discovery, Concept Generation, Core Loop Design, Pillars & Boundaries, Player Type Validation, and Scope & Feasibility. Interactive gates: prompts and decisions guided by AskUserQuestion-style prompts to capture choices without stifling creativity. Pillar-driven framing: alignment of core pillars and anti-pillars to keep vision focused and scoping honest. Output-ready artifacts: generates a game-concept draft scaffold and notes ready for writing the GDD.

Quick Start

Invoke this skill and follow the guided phases to generate a complete game concept document.

Can I use this ideation process for refining existing game concepts?▼

Yes, this guided ideation process works for existing work as well as blank slates, helping teams surface, organize, and vet current concepts into a unified game-concept document.

What are core pillars and anti-pillars in game design feasibility?▼

Core pillars and anti-pillars in game design feasibility are framing mechanisms used to keep the creative vision focused and scoping honest by aligning boundaries during the ideation process.
