project-stage-detect

project-stage-detect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from striderZA/OpenCodeGameStudios. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,510 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of project-stage-detect, MIT.

A project-audit tool that examines a game's documents, source code, prototypes, and production files to estimate its current development stage and find missing work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when joining an existing game project, checking progress, or asking where the project stands.
Why use it?
It gives you a clear view of what is already complete and what needs attention before the next milestone.

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

project-stage-detect 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to project-stage-detect — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Project Stage Detection

This skill scans your project to determine its current development stage, completeness of artifacts, and gaps that need attention. It's especially useful when:

  • Starting with an existing project
  • Onboarding to a codebase
  • Checking what's missing before a milestone
  • Understanding "where are we?"

Workflow

1. Scan Key Directories

Analyze project structure and content:

Design Documentation (design/):

  • Count GDD files in design/gdd/*.md
  • Check for game-concept.md, game-pillars.md, systems-index.md
  • If systems-index.md exists, count total systems vs. designed systems
  • Analyze completeness (Overview, Detailed Design, Edge Cases, etc.)
  • Count narrative docs in design/narrative/
  • Count level designs in design/levels/

Source Code (src/):

  • Count source files (language-agnostic)
  • Identify major systems (directories with 5+ files)
  • Check for core/, gameplay/, ai/, networking/, ui/ directories
  • Estimate lines of code (rough scale)

Production Artifacts (production/):

  • Check for active sprint plans
  • Look for milestone definitions
  • Find roadmap documents

Prototypes (prototypes/):

  • Count prototype directories
  • Check for READMEs (documented vs undocumented)
  • Assess if prototypes are archived or active

Architecture Docs (docs/architecture/):

  • Count ADRs (Architecture Decision Records)
  • Check for overview/index documents

Tests (tests/):

  • Count test files
  • Estimate test coverage (rough heuristic)

2. Classify Project Stage

Based on scanned artifacts, determine stage. Check production/stage.txt first — if it exists, use its value (explicit override from /gate-check). Otherwise, auto-detect using these heuristics (check from most-advanced backward):

Stage Indicators
Concept No game concept doc, brainstorming phase
Systems Design Game concept exists, systems index missing or incomplete
Technical Setup Systems index exists, engine not configured
Pre-Production Engine configured, src/ has <10 source files
Production src/ has 10+ source files, active development
Polish Explicit only (set by /gate-check Production → Polish gate)
Release Explicit only (set by /gate-check Polish → Release gate)

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.
