What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents brittle game development by identifying cross-document inconsistencies between system GDDs, including stale references, conflicting rules, ownership disputes, and design-theory violations that only appear when you review everything together.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Cross-GDD Consistency Review: Detects dependency asymmetry, rule contradictions, stale references, ownership conflicts in tuning knobs, formula compatibility issues, and acceptance-criteria conflicts across all GDDs.
- Game Design Holism Checks: Flags competing progression loops, cognitive overload risk, potential dominant strategies, economic imbalance, difficulty curve mismatches, pillar drift, and player-fantasy incoherence.
- Cross-System Scenario Walkthrough: Walks key multi-system gameplay moments to find interaction-boundary failures like race conditions, undefined state transitions, reward conflicts, and compounding difficulty spikes.
- Run-When Guidance: Intended to be executed after MVP-tier GDDs are individually approved and before architecture begins.
Quick Start
Run review-all-gdds with the argument "full" after all MVP system GDDs are written and approved.
