What problem does it solve?
It prevents costly downstream design mistakes by detecting inconsistencies and design-theory problems that only become visible when all system GDDs are read together.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Cross-GDD consistency audit: flags dependency asymmetry, rule contradictions, stale references, ownership conflicts in tuning knobs, formula range mismatches, and acceptance-criteria conflicts across all GDDs.
- Game design holism review: checks for progression-loop competition, cognitive load risk, dominant-strategy traps, economic imbalances, difficulty-curve inconsistencies, pillar drift, and player-fantasy coherence issues.
- Interaction-boundary scenario walkthroughs: runs multi-system player-perspective scenarios to surface broken state transitions, undefined behavior, feedback contradictions, reward/double-dipping issues, and compounding spikes.
Quick Start
Run review-all-gdds with full coverage after your MVP GDDs are approved and before you start architecture, using the optional focus argument when you want faster consistency-only or design-theory-only passes.
