SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Game teams often jump straight into documentation or commit to the first idea that sounds good, missing stronger concepts. This Skill runs a disciplined, facilitator-led brainstorming session that keeps users in generative exploration mode, applying game-specific ideation techniques before any concept is finalized. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Game-Specific Ideation Techniques: Applies MDA framework exploration, core loop brainstorming, player fantasy mining, genre mashup, and other methods loaded from a game context guide and technique library. - Four-Step Guided Workflow: Walks through initialization, context loading, ideation, and session completion with strict sequential step files, menu-driven checkpoints, and frontmatter state tracking. - Structured Session Output: Captures every idea in a markdown session document with categories, core loops, novelty notes, themes, and top-concept recommendations, then hands off to game brief or GDD workflows. - Use Case: A designer starting a new project runs the session to collaboratively generate 100+ ideas across mechanics, themes, and player fantasies, then receives a ranked summary of the most promising concepts with recommended next steps. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to brainstorm game ideas for a new project and follow the guided four-step session to generate and capture concepts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a structured game brainstorming session with an AI agent?

Invoke the skill by saying you want to brainstorm game ideas. The agent acts as a facilitator, walking you through four steps: initialization, technique selection, guided ideation, and a completion summary with top concepts and next steps.

What game design techniques does this brainstorming workflow use?

It applies MDA framework exploration, core loop brainstorming, player fantasy mining, genre mashup, verbs-before-nouns, failure state design, and standard methods like SCAMPER and constraint-based creativity, loaded from a game context guide.

Can I customize the brainstorming workflow for my team?

Yes. A customize.toml file supports team and user overrides for activation steps, persistent facts, and post-completion behavior, merged with base defaults using structural merge rules resolved by a customization script.

What output does a game brainstorming session produce?

It creates a markdown session document with frontmatter tracking completed steps, capturing all ideas with category, core loop, and novelty fields, plus themes, promising combinations, top concepts, and recommended next steps.

When should I use brainstorming instead of writing a game design document directly?

Use brainstorming before committing to a concept, when you need divergent exploration of mechanics, themes, and player fantasies. Its output feeds downstream workflows like game briefs and GDDs, so it fits the earliest ideation stage.
