FAQPage Schema
How do I create a design document for a game feature?

Create a design document using the template-driven workflow: run scripts/create_planned_doc.sh <doc-name> [version] to generate a structured Markdown file in design_docs/planned. The script enforces sections for problem statement, goals, design, AILANG, engine integration, testing strategy, and implementation steps.

What should a game design doc include for planning and implementation?

A well-structured design doc includes problem statement, goals aligned with core pillars, detailed design rationale, AILANG specifications, engine integration architecture, testing strategy, and step-by-step implementation milestones. This Skill auto-generates these sections as ready-to-review Markdown.

Can I use design doc templates to plan NPC AI, world generation, and rendering features?

Yes. This Skill applies template-driven documentation to NPC AI behaviors, world generation algorithms, rendering features, and other mechanics. It sources requirements, aligns features with core pillars, and outputs structured docs for each feature type.

How do I move a design document from planned to implemented status?

Run scripts/move_to_implemented.sh <doc-name> <version> to transition a planned design doc to the implemented directory. This organizes your design documents by lifecycle stage and tracks feature progression.

Do I need to manually score features against core pillars in the design doc?

No. This Skill enforces vision alignment by automating feature scoring against core pillars and reference design decisions during doc generation, reducing manual alignment work and ensuring consistency.

What file format do design documents use, and where are they stored?

Design documents are generated as Markdown files stored in design_docs/planned or design_docs/implemented directories. Markdown format enables version control, easy review, and integration into documentation workflows.
