What problem does it solve?
This Skill determines whether a game project is ready to advance to its next development phase by checking required artifacts, quality standards, dependencies, and unresolved blockers.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Phase Readiness Assessment: Evaluates transitions across concept, systems design, technical setup, pre-production, production, polish, and release.
- Artifact and Quality Validation: Verifies documentation, architecture decisions, tests, playtest evidence, UX specifications, QA reports, implementation coverage, and release requirements.
- Collaborative Risk Review: Identifies manual checks, asks users about unverifiable conditions, incorporates consistency failures, and can coordinate creative, technical, production, and art director assessments.
- Formal Verdicts: Produces a PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL result with specific blockers, recommendations, and chain-of-verification findings.
- Use Case: Before committing a team to production, use this Skill to confirm that the vertical slice, architecture, accepted ADRs, sprint plan, UX specifications, and playtest evidence are sufficient for the transition.
Quick Start
Use the gate-check skill to validate whether the project is ready to advance to production using the lean review mode.
