SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill standardizes and automates the governance step between development phases by evaluating readiness, validating required artifacts, and producing a formal PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL verdict that guides next steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects domain (game or product) from the concept document and applies domain-specific gate criteria.
  • Validates required artifacts against the workflow catalog and writes results to memory_bank with appropriate blockers or risk notes.
  • Supports user confirmation and collaboration through the Director Panel assessment flow.

Quick Start

Run /gate-check for the next target phase and review the resulting verdict.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate readiness to advance between development phases?

Phase transition readiness is evaluated by performing domain-aware gate checks that validate required artifacts and ADRs against a workflow catalog, producing a formal PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict to guide next steps.

What is a gate check in project governance?

Gate check in project governance is an automated evaluation step between development phases that validates required artifacts, enforces official blockers, notes risks, and records decisions to a memory bank with user-approved writes.

Can I use automated gate checks for both game and general product domains?

Yes, automated gate checks support both game and general product domains by auto-detecting the domain from the concept document and applying domain-specific gate criteria to validate required artifacts.

What's the best way to validate required artifacts before a phase transition?

The best way to validate required artifacts before a phase transition is running an automated gate check that cross-references artifacts against the workflow catalog and produces a formal PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict.

Does the gate check process support user confirmation for recorded decisions?

Yes, the gate check process supports user confirmation and collaboration through a Director Panel assessment flow, and only writes decisions to the memory bank with explicit user-approved writes.
