Donchitos 9f731f3d86 Delete /create-epics-stories and update all references
Removes the deprecated skill entirely and updates every reference across:
- README.md, UPGRADING.md (skill count + file lists)
- docs/WORKFLOW-GUIDE.md (pipeline diagrams, step descriptions, command reference)
- docs/examples/skill-flow-diagrams.md, session-*.md
- docs/architecture/tr-registry.yaml
- tests/skills/catalog.yaml
- .claude/skills: adopt, content-audit, create-control-manifest,
  skill-test, story-readiness

# Skill Flow Diagrams
Visual maps of how skills chain together across the 7 development phases.
These show what runs before and after each skill, and what artifacts flow between them.

## Full Pipeline Overview (Zero to Ship)
```
PHASE 1: CONCEPT
/start ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────► routes to A/B/C/D

## Skill Chain: /design-system in Detail
How a single GDD gets authored, reviewed, and handed to architecture:
```
systems-index.md (input)
game-concept.md (input)
upstream GDDs (input, if any)
/design-system [name]
├── Pre-check: feasibility table + engine risk flags
├── Section cycle × 8:
│ question → options → decision → draft → approval → WRITE
│ [each section written to file immediately after approval]
└── Output: design/gdd/[system].md (complete, all 8 sections)
/design-review design/gdd/[system].md
├── APPROVED → mark DONE in systems-index, proceed to next system
├── NEEDS REVISION → agent shows specific issues, re-enter section cycle
└── MAJOR REVISION → significant redesign needed before next system
▼ (after all MVP GDDs + cross-review)
/review-all-gdds
└── Output: gdd-cross-review-[date].md
```
---
## Skill Chain: Story Lifecycle in Detail
How a story gets from backlog to closed:
```
/create-epics [layer: foundation]
└── Output: production/epics/[slug]/EPIC.md
/create-stories [epic-slug]
└── Output: production/epics/[slug]/story-NNN-[slug].md
(Status: Ready or Blocked if ADR is Proposed)
/story-readiness [story]
├── READY → Status: ready-for-dev → pick up for implementation
├── NEEDS WORK → agent shows specific gaps → resolve → re-run readiness
└── BLOCKED → ADR still Proposed, or upstream story incomplete
▼ (after READY)
Implementation (gameplay-programmer, etc.)
/story-done [story]
├── COMPLETE → Status: Complete, sprint-status.yaml updated, next story surfaced
├── COMPLETE WITH NOTES → complete but some criteria deferred (logged)
└── BLOCKED → acceptance criteria cannot be verified → investigate blocker
```
---
## Skill Chain: UX Pipeline in Detail
```
design/gdd/*.md (UX requirements extracted)
design/player-journey.md (emotional arc)
/ux-design hud → design/ux/hud.md
/ux-design screen [name] → design/ux/screens/[name].md
/ux-design patterns → design/ux/interaction-patterns.md
/ux-review design/ux/
├── APPROVED → all specs ready for /team-ui
├── NEEDS REVISION → blocking issues listed → fix → re-run review
└── MAJOR REVISION → fundamental UX problems → significant redesign
▼ (after APPROVED)
/team-ui
├── Phase 1: context load + /ux-design (if specs missing)
├── Phase 2: visual design (art-director)
├── Phase 3: layout implementation (ui-programmer)
├── Phase 4: accessibility audit (accessibility-specialist)
└── Phase 5: final review
```
---
## Brownfield Onboarding Flow
For projects with existing work (use `/start` option D or run directly):
```
/project-stage-detect → stage detection report
/adopt
├── Phase 1: detect what exists
├── Phase 2: FORMAT audit (not just existence)
├── Phase 3: classify gaps (BLOCKING / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW)
├── Phase 4: ordered migration plan
├── Phase 5: write docs/adoption-plan-[date].md
└── Phase 6: fix most urgent gap inline (optional)
/design-system retrofit [path] → fills missing GDD sections
/architecture-decision retrofit [path] → fills missing ADR sections
/gate-check → where are you in the pipeline?
```

## How to Read These Diagrams
| Symbol | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| `──►` | Produces this artifact |
| `│ ▼` | Flows into next step |
| `├──` | Branch (multiple possible outcomes) |
| `×N` | Runs N times (once per system, story, etc.) |
| `(input)` | Read by the skill but not produced here |
| `[optional]` | Not required for the gate to pass |
| `WRITE` (caps) | File written to disk immediately |
---
## Common Entry Points
| Where you are | Run this |
|---------------|---------|
| Brand new, no idea | `/start``/brainstorm` |
| Have a concept, no engine | `/setup-engine` |
| Have concept + engine | `/map-systems` |
| Mid-systems design | `/design-system [next system]` or `/map-systems next` |
| All GDDs done | `/review-all-gdds``/gate-check` |
| In technical setup | `/create-architecture``/architecture-decision` |
| Have stories, ready to code | `/story-readiness [story]` |
| Story done | `/story-done [story]` |
| Not sure | `/help` |
| Existing project | `/adopt` |
