This Skill helps solo game developers create and maintain Game Design Documents (GDDs) that serve as a lean, living memory of their project, evolving with development rather than becoming outdated.
Use the gdd-writer skill to help me write the Vision Statement for my new game.

To write a Game Design Document for a solo project, start with a Minimum Viable GDD focusing on a Vision Statement, Design Pillars, Core Loop, and Scope Definition before prototyping. This keeps the document lean and acts as a memory aid rather than a rigid plan.
A lean Game Design Document is a living memory aid that evolves with your development progress. It prevents scope creep by enforcing length constraints and defining only what is necessary, ensuring the documentation stays relevant rather than becoming outdated.
You should update your Game Design Document after your prototype confirms core mechanics. This phased approach expands the initial pre-prototype hypothesis into a post-prototype plan by adding detailed Player Mechanics and Content Structure based on development evidence.
Prevent scope creep by defining specific Design Pillars and enforcing constraints on your Game Design Document length and content. Focus on core feelings and experiences alongside a strict Scope Definition to guide decisions without overloading the project with features.
