How does it handle project scope?

It uses an MVD (Minimum Viable Design) checklist and automated 'Red Flag' scripts to identify scope creep and pillar violations early.

What kind of artifacts does this skill produce?

It generates and updates decision logs, open question lists, core loop specs, gear registries, map templates, and technical specifications.

How do the personas work in this skill?

The skill simulates roles like 'Shinji' for arcade feel or 'Viktor' for economy. It surfaces tensions between these roles to ensure design decisions are balanced and thorough.

Is this skill only for the 'Thermite' game?

While optimized for the Thermite project, its structured persona-driven methodology is highly effective for any complex game design requiring deep systems integration.

What is the Thermite design process?

It is a methodology for structured creative sessions that uses eight specific expert personas to debate, refine, and document game mechanics.

Facilitates structured game design sessions using expert personas and standardized artifact tracking for extraction-style games.

This skill implements a comprehensive game design methodology specifically tailored for the 'Thermite' project, a hybrid Bomberman and Tarkov extraction game. It streamlines the creative process by simulating a diverse team of eight expert personas—ranging from arcade specialists to economy designers—to debate features and surface design tensions. The skill automates the generation of essential artifacts, maintains a rigorous decision log, and enforces a Minimum Viable Design (MVD) checklist to ensure projects remain focused and aligned with core design pillars like meaningful risk and readable chaos.
