SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly recover when you are stuck or unsure by analyzing your current project phase and recommending the next most relevant studio step.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-aware guidance: Reads the live project state (including stage, session context, and workflow catalog) to determine where you are in the pipeline.
  • Completion detection: Checks which required and optional steps are complete using artifact/glob and pattern detection, with special handling for production sprint status.
  • Actionable next step: Outputs a short, direct orientation with a single required next action plus optional opportunities when relevant.

Quick Start

Ask for help deciding what to do next by running the help skill with what you just finished or where you feel stuck, such as: "I’m stuck—what should I do next after the last design review?"

FAQPage Schema
How do I figure out the next step in my game development workflow?

Game development workflow guidance detects your current studio phase by checking live project artifacts and session context. It then recommends a single primary next-step action to resolve your uncertainty and move the pipeline forward.

What is phase detection for studio project guidance?

Phase detection for studio project guidance is the process of reading live production session context and workflow catalogs to pinpoint your exact location in the game development pipeline. It checks artifact completion to determine the current operational stage.

How do I know which required game production steps are complete?

You can check which game production steps are complete by running glob and pattern detection against your project artifacts. The system verifies completion status and applies special handling for production sprint status during analysis.

Can I get project guidance without setting up external dependencies?

Yes, you can get project guidance without external dependencies. The system requires no setup and performs read-only analysis of your existing production context, session state, and workflow catalog to recommend next actions.

What should I do if I am stuck after a game design review?

If you are stuck after a game design review, provide your current context to the help skill. It performs artifact analysis and uncatalogued-skill detection to output a direct orientation and single required next action.
