project-stage-detect

What problem does it solve? When joining an existing game project or losing track of progress, it is hard to know what stage development is in, which artifacts are missing, and what to do next. This Skill scans your project structure and produces a stage assessment with prioritized recommendations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Artifact Scanning: Counts and inspects design docs, source files, ADRs, prototypes, sprint plans, and tests across standard directories. - Stage Classification: Classifies the project as Concept, Systems Design, Technical Setup, Pre-Production, Production, Polish, or Release using explicit overrides or heuristics. - Collaborative Gap Analysis: Asks clarifying questions about missing artifacts instead of assuming, and requests approval before writing the stage report. - Use Case: You inherit a game codebase with scattered docs and code. Run the analysis to learn the project is in Pre-Production, that combat code lacks a design doc, and that the next step is creating a systems index. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to analyze where this project currently stands in development and generate a stage report with recommended next steps.
