story-readiness

To validate a Story file, you check it against Game Design Document, Architecture Decision Record, TR-ID, and manifest constraints. This automated readiness check evaluates each Story for necessary design references, testability, and engine considerations before implementation begins.

Story readiness validation is the process of evaluating Story files against design and process constraints to ensure they are complete, testable, and actionable. It produces a clear READY, NEEDS WORK, or BLOCKED verdict with an explicit gap list for rapid remediation.

Yes, you can run a sprint-wide readiness check for multiple Story files. The validation supports scope selection for single Story assessments, sprint-wide checks, or Epic-level audits within a game development workflow, returning per-Story verdicts and gap details.

You identify missing ADRs and engine considerations by running the Story readiness validation. It automatically checks for the presence of Architecture Decision Records, GDD references, and engine constraints, returning an explicit gap list detailing exactly what is missing for rapid remediation.

The best way to prevent rework is to validate Story readiness before implementation. By checking Story files against GDD, ADR, and manifest requirements, you ensure each Story is complete and actionable, producing a per-Story verdict and explicit gap list for rapid remediation.
