You validate game project readiness by running a phase transition check that verifies required documents, quality standards, and blockers to provide a formal PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict.

A development phase transition check ensures a game project meets essential criteria before advancing phases, reducing the risk of project failure due to unpreparedness for stages like pre-production or release.

You check for missing artifacts by validating artifact existence through automated file checks and YAML parsing, which verifies the presence of necessary documents and files required to proceed.

You can use automated file checks for quality standards across phases like concept, systems design, and production, but the validation also requires user question-asking to handle non-automated checks.

The best way to identify blockers before a phase transition is to perform a project readiness validation that checks for unresolved issues and outputs a detailed feedback report with a formal verdict.

You need YAML parsing for project readiness validation when checking the existence of required configuration files and documents to ensure technical setup and systems design meet phase advancement criteria.
