SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning a raw game idea into a clear, right-sized game brief is hard: assumptions go unexamined, scope balloons, and the core fantasy stays vague. This Skill coaches you through discovery, drafts the brief, and pressure-tests it so downstream design work (GDD, PRD) starts from a solid foundation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three intent modes: Create a new brief from conversation, Update an existing brief against a change signal with a mandatory decision log, or Validate a brief against a quality bar (one-sentence core fantasy, 2-4 pillars, specific audience, minimal MVP). - Discovery coaching: Brain-dump friendly questioning, web-research subagents for genre and market context, and a choice between a Fast path (assumption-tagged draft) or Coaching path (section-by-section pushback). - Persistent workspace: Writes brief.md, addendum.md, and .decision-log.md to a run folder, supports resume across sessions, headless JSON-status operation, and optional external handoffs (Confluence, Slack) via customization TOML. - Use Case: You have a pitch meeting tomorrow for a turn-based tactics game. Invoke the skill, brain-dump your concept, take the Fast path, and receive a polished brief.md with flagged assumptions to review. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help you create a game brief for your game idea and answer its discovery questions.

Frequently Asked Questions about gds-create-game-brief

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a game brief before writing a GDD?▼

Invoke the skill with your game idea and choose Create intent. It runs a discovery conversation covering vision, audience, core loop, scope, and references, then drafts brief.md in a persistent run folder that the GDD workflow can build on.

What makes a good game brief quality bar?▼

The skill validates that the core fantasy fits one sentence, pillars are 2-4 and specific, the audience is not "everyone", comparable titles name what is taken versus left, scope matches the team, and the MVP truly validates the core gameplay hypothesis.

Can I update an existing game brief instead of starting over?▼

Yes. Update mode reads the existing brief, addendum, and decision log, reconciles the change signal against prior decisions, and records every edit to .decision-log.md as an audit trail. Fundamental pivots trigger an offer to Create instead.

Does the game brief skill work headless or non-interactively?▼

Yes. In headless mode it infers intent, completes the work without prompting, and returns a JSON status block with artifact paths. If intent stays ambiguous it halts with a blocked status and reason.

What files does the game brief workflow produce?▼

It produces brief.md with YAML frontmatter, an optional addendum.md for depth that belongs downstream, and .decision-log.md as the canonical audit trail, all inside a run folder under the configured briefs output path.
