BMAD GDD validation ensures game design documents are complete, consistent, and ready for architecture by applying a standardized, multi-step validation pipeline.

Game design document validation detects structure, anti-patterns, measurability gaps, and implementation leakage across canonical steps including discovery, format detection, density checks, and traceability validations.

You check if your game design document meets BMAD standards by invoking the validation skill with a GDD file path, which triggers a structured workflow coordinating discovery, format detection, density checks, measurability, and traceability validations.

Yes, game design document validation generates a structured report with concrete remediation guidance for editors and stakeholders to address identified quality gaps and anti-patterns.

Yes, game design document validation checks for implementation leakage as part of its automated quality checks, detecting when implementation details inappropriately appear in the design document.

The best way to ensure SMART goals are present in your game design document is to run a validation workflow that includes SMART goal checks, verifying that goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
