What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you determine whether a game project is ready to advance to a specified next development phase by checking for required artifacts, quality expectations, and actionable blockers.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Phase-gated readiness validation: Produces a PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL verdict for transitions like Concept → Systems Design, or Technical Setup → Pre-Production.
- Artifact + quality checks: Verifies existence and meaningful content for key docs (GDDs, architecture docs, ADRs, UX specs) and performs targeted cross-document consistency checks.
- Director panel assessment: Summons creative, technical, producer, and art directors to assess readiness in parallel and summarizes their readiness signals before finalizing the verdict.
- Stage update on pass: When the gate passes and you confirm, it updates
production/stage.txt with the next stage name.
Quick Start
Run gate-check for the next phase by asking the AI: "Check if we can advance to Production using lean review mode."
