Scale-adaptive project planning workflow for all project levels (0-4).
|

Automatically adjusts outputs based on project scope - from single atomic

|
changes (Level 0: tech-spec only) to enterprise platforms (Level 4: full PRD +
|
|
epics). Level 2-4 route to 3-solutioning workflow for architecture and tech
|

specs. Generates appropriate planning artifacts for each level.

**Optional Next Steps:**
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Create simple UX documentation** (if UI change is user-facing)
|
|
- Note: Full instructions-ux workflow may be overkill for Level 0
|
|
- Consider documenting just the specific UI change
|
|
|

- Command: `workflow task-generation`
|
|
- Uses: tech-spec.md
|
|
|
|
<check>If change is backend/API only:</check>
|
|
|
|
**Recommended Next Steps:**
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Create test plan** for the change
|
|
- Unit tests for the specific change
|
|
- Integration test if affects other components
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Generate implementation task**
|
|
- Command: `workflow task-generation`
|
|
- Uses: tech-spec.md
|

Since this is a Level {{project_level}} project, you need solutioning before implementation.
|
|
|
|
**Start new chat with solutioning workflow and provide:**
|
|
|
|
1. This PRD: `{{default_output_file}}`
|
|
2. Epic structure: `{{epics_output_file}}`
|
|
3. Input documents: {{input_documents}}
|
|
|
|
**Ask solutioning workflow to:**
|
|
|
|
- Run `3-solutioning` workflow
|
|
- Generate solution-architecture.md
|
|
- Create per-epic tech specs
|
|
|

Your game would benefit from a Narrative Design Document to detail:

- Character profiles and arcs

- World lore and history
|

- Dialogue framework

- Environmental storytelling

Would you like to create a Narrative Design Document now?
|
|
|
|
1. Yes, create Narrative Design Document (recommended)
|
|
2. No, proceed directly to solutioning
|
|
3. Skip for now, I'll do it later

|
|
<action>Exit current workflow (narrative will hand off to solutioning when done)</action>
|
|
|
|
Since this is a Level {{project_level}} game project, you need solutioning for platform/engine architecture.
|
|
|
|
**Start new chat with solutioning workflow and provide:**
|
|
|
|
1. This GDD: `{{gdd_output_file}}`
|
|
2. Project analysis: `{{analysis_file}}`
|
|
|
|
**The solutioning workflow will:**
|
|
|
|
- Determine game engine/platform (Unity, Godot, Phaser, custom, etc.)
|
|
- Generate solution-architecture.md with engine-specific decisions
|
|
- Create per-epic tech specs
|
|
- Handle platform-specific architecture (from registry.csv game-\* entries)
|
|
