consistency-check

To check for inconsistencies across game design documents, you validate individual GDD content against a central entity registry to identify conflicting values for entities, items, and formulas. This prevents design drift caused by outdated references in multi-document projects.

Game design documents have conflicting entity stats due to design drift when updates in a core GDD are not synchronized across other files. Detecting this requires scanning relevant document sections to find outdated values referenced in combat or level design GDDs.

You validate entity values by applying YAML parsing and grep-based text scanning across your design directory. This mechanism compares parsed registry attributes against text in individual game design documents to automatically detect and report contradictions in stats and formulas.

Yes, you can scan a large design directory quickly because the validation uses a targeted grep-first approach to minimize processing time. By focusing only on relevant document sections, it efficiently identifies mismatches without parsing entire files unnecessarily.

Cross-document validation for game development projects is the process of comparing individual game design documents against a central entity registry to ensure strict data synchronization. It ensures that stats, formulas, and item values remain consistent across the entire project.

Yes, you need a central entity registry to check GDD consistency because the validation process compares attributes parsed from YAML against the content in your design documents. Without this central registry, there is no baseline to detect cross-document contradictions.
