propagate-design-change

propagate-design-change is a skill for Claude Code from Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,915 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design-change impact checker that compares a revised game design document with related architecture decisions and finds decisions that may now be outdated.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after revising a game design document to identify affected architecture decision records and guide their resolution.
Why use it?
It prevents technical plans from silently disagreeing with the latest design rules.

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

propagate-design-change scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Propagate Design Change

When a GDD changes, architectural decisions written against it may no longer be valid. This skill finds every affected ADR, compares what the ADR assumed against what the GDD now says, and guides the user through resolution.

Usage: /propagate-design-change design/gdd/combat-system.md


1. Validate Argument

A GDD path argument is required. If missing, fail with:

"Usage: /propagate-design-change design/gdd/[system].md Provide the path to the GDD that was changed."

Verify the file exists. If not, fail with:

"[path] not found. Check the path and try again."


2. Read the Changed GDD

Read the current GDD in full.


3. Read the Previous Version

Run git to get the previous committed version:

git show HEAD:design/gdd/[filename].md

If the file has no git history (new file), report:

"No previous version in git — this appears to be a new GDD, not a revision. Nothing to propagate."

If git returns the previous version, do a conceptual diff:

  • Identify sections that changed (new rules, removed rules, modified formulas, changed acceptance criteria, changed tuning knobs)
  • Identify sections that are unchanged
  • Produce a change summary:
## Change Summary: [GDD filename]
Date of revision: [today]

Changed sections:
- [Section name]: [what changed — new rule, removed rule, formula modified, etc.]

Unchanged sections:
- [Section name]

Key changes affecting architecture:
- [Change 1 — likely to affect ADRs]
- [Change 2]

4. Load Architecture Inputs

Read all ADRs in docs/architecture/:

  • For each ADR, read the full file
  • Extract the "GDD Requirements Addressed" table
  • Note which GDD documents and requirement IDs each ADR references

Read docs/architecture/architecture-traceability.md if it exists.

Report: "Loaded [N] ADRs. [M] reference [gdd filename]."


5. Impact Analysis

For each ADR that references the changed GDD:

Compare the ADR's "GDD Requirements Addressed" entries against the changed sections of the GDD. For each referenced requirement:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
