SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires node.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps turn a raw or partially validated game concept into an evidence-backed research package, so you can avoid building the wrong game and identify the strongest direction before design begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

Concept synthesis: Creates an idea brief when a user arrives with only a rough game premise and no prior validation.
Market, competitor, and player research: Runs a structured discovery pipeline to assess genre potential, analyze competitors, and define player personas.
Workflow gating: Uses validation briefs, research artifacts, and founder review checkpoints to decide whether to proceed, pivot, or refine.
Use case: A solo developer has a game pitch but is unsure whether the genre is viable, who the target player is, and what makes the concept different; this Skill organizes the research needed to answer those questions.

Quick Start

Ask me to validate your game idea and generate the research artifacts for discovery.

FAQPage Schema

How do I validate a game idea before starting development?▼

Validating a game idea requires assessing market demand, analyzing competitors, and defining player personas. This skill synthesizes your premise into a brief and runs a structured discovery pipeline to generate evidence-backed research artifacts for product decisions.

What is game product discovery and how does it work?▼

Game product discovery is the process of moving from a rough premise into structured evidence for design decisions. It works by running a gated research pipeline that assesses genre potential, analyzes competitors, and defines target player personas before design begins.

How do I conduct competitive analysis for a new game concept?▼

Competitive analysis for a new game concept involves evaluating the competitive landscape as part of a structured discovery pipeline. This skill coordinates research across competitors and player needs, generating artifacts that identify your concept's unique positioning.

Can I use this skill to define player personas for my game pitch?▼

Yes, you can use this skill to define player personas for your game pitch. It runs structured player research to identify target audience needs and synthesizes these findings into research artifacts that inform your design and positioning decisions.

Do I need Node.js to run this game research workflow?▼

Yes, you need Node.js installed as a dependency to run this game research workflow. The skill requires a Node environment to execute its structured discovery pipeline and generate the gated research artifacts.

When should I use an evidence-backed research package instead of building my game directly?▼

You should use an evidence-backed research package when you have a game pitch but are unsure about genre viability, target players, or differentiation. It helps you avoid building the wrong game by validating assumptions before design begins.
