SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Game developers often struggle to structure story ideas into a complete, production-ready narrative design document. This Skill guides users through a disciplined, step-by-step process covering premise, characters, world-building, dialogue, and production planning. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured 11-Step Workflow: Progresses from initialization and GDD context loading through story foundation, characters, world, dialogue, delivery, integration, and production planning. - Facilitated Collaboration: Acts as a narrative design facilitator that draws out the user's vision through questions rather than generating story content unilaterally, with A/P/C menus for refinement. - Validation and Templates: Ships a narrative template, a validation checklist, and resume support so partially completed documents can be continued later. - Use Case: A solo indie developer with a finished GDD uses this Skill to produce a complete narrative-design.md covering story beats, character arcs, branching dialogue, and writing scope estimates. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a narrative design for your game and follow the guided step-by-step workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a narrative design document for my game?

Run the narrative workflow after completing a GDD. It guides you through 11 steps covering premise, themes, story beats, characters, world-building, dialogue, delivery, and production scope, saving everything to a narrative-design.md file.

Do I need a GDD before starting narrative design?

A completed GDD is strongly recommended because the workflow loads game type, mechanics, and themes from it. You can proceed without one, but the workflow will ask more questions and the checklist flags a missing GDD as a critical failure.

Can I resume an unfinished narrative design document?

Yes. The workflow tracks progress in the document's frontmatter stepsCompleted array. On restart, it detects the existing file, summarizes completed sections, and routes you to the correct next step.

What narrative complexity levels does the workflow support?

Four levels: Critical (story is the game, like visual novels), Heavy (story-driven RPGs), Moderate (story-enhanced gameplay), and Light (minimal context). Light projects can opt for a quick narrative or GDD expansion instead of a full document.

Does the workflow write the actual story content for me?

No. It acts as a facilitator that draws out your ideas through structured questions, then organizes your answers into the document. It never generates premise, characters, or beats without your input.
