When this skill is invoked:
1. **Parse the argument** for an optional genre/theme hint (e.g., `roguelike`,
`space survival`, `cozy farming`). If `open` or no argument, start from
scratch. Also resolve the review mode (once, store for all gate spawns this run):
1. If `--review [full|lean|solo]` was passed → use that
2. Else read `production/review-mode.txt` → use that value
3. Else → default to `lean`
See `.claude/docs/director-gates.md` for the full check pattern.
2. **Check for existing concept work**:
- Read `design/gdd/game-concept.md` if it exists (resume, don't restart)
- Read `design/gdd/game-pillars.md` if it exists (build on established pillars)
3. **Run through ideation phases** interactively, asking the user questions at
each phase. Do NOT generate everything silently — the goal is **collaborative
exploration** where the AI acts as a creative facilitator, not a replacement
for the human's vision.
**Use `AskUserQuestion`** at key decision points throughout brainstorming:
- Constrained taste questions (genre preferences, scope, team size)
- Concept selection ("Which 2-3 concepts resonate?") after presenting options
- Direction choices ("Develop further, explore more, or prototype?")
- Pillar ranking after concepts are refined
Write full creative analysis in conversation text first, then use
`AskUserQuestion` to capture the decision with concise labels.
