SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Structured, rubric-driven evaluation of a Game Design Document (GDD) to surface gaps, align strategy with pillars, and produce actionable guidance for shipping.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Routine cross-section analysis across Core Loop, Progression, Economy, Motivation, Risk, and Cross-Consistency using official rubrics and references.
  • Forced-question workflow that surfaces critical design gaps with explicit next steps, including escalation paths and risk flags.
  • Production-ready artifacts: GDD Health Score, Completion Summary, Playtest Protocol, and artifact save instructions for traceability.

Quick Start

Load a GDD (docs/gdd.md) into the skill and run to generate a structured health report and recommended Next Steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a Game Design Document for gaps and risks?

A GDD review diagnoses your document against structured rubrics, scoring Core Loop, Progression, Economy, and Motivation to surface design gaps and produce a GDD Health Score with actionable next steps.

What is a GDD Health Score and how does it evaluate game design?

A GDD Health Score quantifies your game design document's quality by applying forced questions and cross-section checks across risk, economy, and motivation analyses, delivering a structured Completion Summary.

Can I use MDA framework analysis to check my game design consistency?

Yes, cross-consistency checks apply MDA and SDT frameworks within a GDD review to evaluate motivation and core loops, ensuring your game design pillars align with progression mechanics.

How do I generate a playtest protocol from a game design document?

Running a structured GDD review produces a production-ready Playtest Protocol artifact by running forced-question workflows and risk analyses, providing explicit testing steps and artifact save instructions.

What's the best way to identify economy and progression issues in a GDD?

A rubric-driven GDD review identifies economy and progression issues through cross-section analysis, applying forced questions to flag critical design gaps and output concrete escalation paths.

Do I need a markdown GDD file to run a structured game design review?

Yes, loading a markdown Game Design Document such as docs/gdd.md into a review skill generates a structured health report, completing cross-section checks and returning recommended next steps.
