What problem does it solve? Game development projects often drift between phases without clear criteria, leading to premature production work or missing artifacts. This Skill provides a structured phase gate validation that checks required artifacts and quality standards before advancing to the next development stage. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Phase Gate Validation: Checks required artifacts and quality checks for six phase transitions, from Concept through Release, producing a PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict. - Artifact Verification: Uses file scanning to confirm GDDs, architecture decision records, sprint plans, prototypes, and test suites exist with real content rather than empty templates. - Stage Tracking: Writes the new stage name to production/stage.txt when a gate passes, keeping project status current. - Use Case: Before moving from Pre-Production to Production, run the gate check to confirm your prototype validates the core loop, sprint plans exist, and all MVP-tier GDDs are complete. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a gate check for the production phase to verify the project is ready to advance.
