Donchitos 7d08e396e3 Release v0.3.0: /design-system, /map-systems, status line, UPGRADING guide (#2)
* Add UPGRADING.md migration guide and link from README

Covers v0.1→v0.2 upgrade with three strategies (git merge, cherry-pick,
manual copy), file safety categories, and post-upgrade verification steps.
Structured to support future version sections.

* Rename /design-systems to /map-systems + /design-system and fix all references

Split the monolithic /design-systems skill into two focused skills:
- /map-systems: systems decomposition and index creation
- /design-system: guided section-by-section GDD authoring

Updated all cross-references across 14 files: README, UPGRADING,
WORKFLOW-GUIDE, quick-start, skills-reference, game-concept template,
systems-index template, brainstorm, design-review, gate-check,
project-stage-detect, setup-engine, and start skills. Fixed skill
counts from 36 to 37 everywhere. Added /map-systems and /design-system
to quick-start Paths A and B workflows.

* Fix cross-reference gaps, broken hooks, and stale workflow chains

- Fix log-agent.sh parsing agent_type instead of agent_name (always logged "unknown")
- Fix GDD status lifecycle: design-system now writes Approved/Designed/In Review
- Clean up settings.local.json vestigial Bash grants from development
- Delete orphaned docs marked for removal in UPGRADING.md
- Add /design-system to next-steps in /start, /brainstorm, /setup-engine
- Fix WORKFLOW-GUIDE: add /map-systems + /design-system to Appendix C Workflow 1
- Fix invalid /map-systems map argument in WORKFLOW-GUIDE Step 2.1
- Update map-systems frontmatter to document [system-name] argument
- Update commit hook to validate all 8 required GDD sections (was 5)
- Update README template count 28 → 29, add 5 missing templates to quick-start

* Add custom status line with 7-stage production pipeline

Introduces a status line showing context %, model name, and production
stage at a glance. Aligns gate-check and project-stage-detect to a
unified 7-stage model (Concept → Systems Design → Technical Setup →
Pre-Production → Production → Polish → Release). Stage is determined
by explicit override (production/stage.txt) or auto-detected from
project artifacts. Epic/Feature/Task breadcrumb appears conditionally
in Production+ stages via a structured STATUS block in active.md.

* Add v0.2→v0.3 upgrade guide and PR validation test suite

- UPGRADING.md: add v0.2.0→v0.3.0 section documenting breaking rename
  of /design-systems→/map-systems, new /design-system skill, statusline.sh,
  gate-check stage advancement, and safe-to-overwrite file list

design-review Reviews a game design document for completeness, internal consistency, implementability, and adherence to project design standards. Run this before handing a design document to programmers. [path-to-design-doc] true Read, Glob, Grep

When this skill is invoked:

  1. Read the target design document in full.

  2. Read the master CLAUDE.md to understand project context and standards.

  3. Read related design documents referenced or implied by the target doc (check design/gdd/ for related systems).

  4. Evaluate against the Design Document Standard checklist:

    • Has Overview section (one-paragraph summary)
    • Has Player Fantasy section (intended feeling)
    • Has Detailed Rules section (unambiguous mechanics)
    • Has Formulas section (all math defined with variables)
    • Has Edge Cases section (unusual situations handled)
    • Has Dependencies section (other systems listed)
    • Has Tuning Knobs section (configurable values identified)
    • Has Acceptance Criteria section (testable success conditions)
  5. Check for internal consistency:

    • Do the formulas produce values that match the described behavior?
    • Do edge cases contradict the main rules?
    • Are dependencies bidirectional (does the other system know about this one)?
  6. Check for implementability:

    • Are the rules precise enough for a programmer to implement without guessing?
    • Are there any "hand-wave" sections where details are missing?
    • Are performance implications considered?
  7. Check for cross-system consistency:

    • Does this conflict with any existing mechanic?
    • Does this create unintended interactions with other systems?
    • Is this consistent with the game's established tone and pillars?
  8. Output the review in this format:

## Design Review: [Document Title]

### Completeness: [X/8 sections present]
[List missing sections]

### Consistency Issues
[List any internal or cross-system contradictions]

### Implementability Concerns
[List any vague or unimplementable sections]

### Balance Concerns
[List any obvious balance risks]

### Recommendations
[Prioritized list of improvements]

### Verdict: [APPROVED / NEEDS REVISION / MAJOR REVISION NEEDED]
  1. Contextual next step recommendations:
    • If the document being reviewed is game-concept.md or game-pillars.md:
      • Check if design/gdd/systems-index.md exists
      • If it does NOT exist, add to Recommendations:

        "This concept is ready for systems decomposition. Run /map-systems to break it down into individual systems with dependencies and priorities, then write per-system GDDs."

    • If the document is an individual system GDD:
      • Check if the systems index references this system
      • If verdict is APPROVED: suggest "Update the systems index status for this system to 'Approved'."
      • If verdict is NEEDS REVISION or MAJOR REVISION NEEDED: suggest "Update the systems index status for this system to 'In Review'."
      • Note: This skill is read-only. The user (or /design-system) must perform the actual status update in the systems index.
