gate-check
Phase Gate Validation
This skill validates whether the project is ready to advance to the next development phase. It checks for required artifacts, quality standards, and blockers.
Distinct from /project-stage-detect: That skill is diagnostic ("where are we?").
This skill is prescriptive ("are we ready to advance?" with a formal verdict).
Production Stages (7)
The project progresses through these stages:
- Concept — Brainstorming, game concept document
- Systems Design — Mapping systems, writing GDDs
- Technical Setup — Engine config, architecture decisions
- Pre-Production — Prototyping, vertical slice validation
- Production — Feature development (Epic/Feature/Task tracking active)
- Polish — Performance, playtesting, bug fixing
- Release — Launch prep, certification
