SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When a GDD revision occurs, architectural decisions built against it may become outdated. This skill scans all ADRs and the traceability index to identify potentially stale decisions and produces a change impact report with guided resolution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects ADRs affected by GDD changes by comparing ADR assumptions with the updated GDD.
  • Generates a comprehensive Change Impact Report summarizing changed sections, unchanged sections, and architectural implications, then guides resolution.
  • Provides an end-to-end workflow to review, approve, and update ADRs and traceability where needed.

Quick Start

Execute propagate-design-change with the path to the changed GDD to produce the impact report.

Frequently Asked Questions about propagate-design-change

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trace the impact of a GDD revision on existing architecture decisions?▼

To trace the impact of a GDD revision on architecture decisions, you can automate propagation by comparing current versus previous GDD content against ADR assumptions to produce a change-impact report with recommended actions.

How do I update stale ADRs after modifying a game design document?▼

Updating stale ADRs after modifying a game design document involves scanning the traceability index to identify affected decisions and guiding end-to-end resolution workflows to review, approve, and update the records.

What is architectural traceability analysis for design changes?▼

Architectural traceability analysis for design changes is the process of scanning ADRs and traceability indexes to detect outdated architectural assumptions and summarize architectural implications with a comprehensive change impact report.

Does this impact analysis workflow require a specific directory structure for ADRs?▼

Yes, this impact analysis workflow requires ADRs to be stored in the docs/architecture directory and requires an existing architecture-traceability index to successfully compare GDD content and output the report.

What is the best way to identify which ADRs are affected by a game design document update?▼

The best way to identify which ADRs are affected by a game design document update is to automate the comparison of ADR assumptions with the updated GDD sections to detect potentially stale decisions and generate guided resolutions.
