What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the guesswork of tracking project progress, identifying missing documentation, and determining next steps when onboarding to a codebase, resuming stalled development, or preparing for a milestone.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Stage Classification: Scans project directories (design docs, source code, production plans, architecture records) to detect the current development stage (Concept, Systems Design, Production, etc.) using explicit overrides or heuristic analysis of artifact completeness.
- Collaborative Gap Identification: Pinpoints missing or incomplete artifacts and asks targeted clarifying questions to avoid incorrect assumptions about project intent or undocumented work.
- Role-Specific Recommendations: Generates prioritized next steps tailored to specific roles (programmer, designer, producer) to align with team responsibilities and focus areas.
- Use Case: When onboarding to a new game development project, use this skill to instantly assess if design documentation is complete, if the codebase is in pre-production or active production, and what tasks to prioritize to unblock progress.
Quick Start
Ask the project-stage-detect skill to analyze your project's current development stage, identify missing artifacts, and recommend prioritized next steps, optionally specifying a role like programmer or designer for tailored insights.
