design-review

To review a game design document for completeness, you provide the file path to the design-review tool, which audits structure, rules, dependencies, and acceptance criteria against project standards to flag gaps and inconsistencies.

Checking if a GDD is ready for programmers involves auditing internal consistency and implementability, identifying ambiguities, edge cases, and conflicting rules, then producing actionable revision notes and required approvals for stakeholders.

Yes, you can use this design-review process for UI and narrative documents, as it evaluates game design documents across design, systems, UI, and narrative domains to ensure they meet project standards before implementation.

A game design review identifies conflicting rules and edge cases by enforcing a structured evaluation workflow that analyzes document structure, dependencies, and acceptance criteria, highlighting ambiguities that hinder implementation.

No dependencies are required to audit game design docs; you simply provide the path to the design document you want reviewed, and the tool evaluates it against project design standards independently.

Limitations when validating design documents include relying entirely on the provided text to evaluate structure and dependencies, meaning it flags gaps and inconsistencies based solely on the information present in the submitted file.
