DonchitosandClaude Opus 5 d05699707f Release 1.1.0 — one config file, and a process weight you choose
`project.yaml` at the repo root is now the single source of truth for a
project's configuration, replacing `production/stage.txt`,
`production/review-mode.txt` and `.claude/docs/technical-preferences.md` (all
three still read as a fallback; nothing is force-deleted).

**`modes.rigor` — one question instead of six.** `minimal`, `standard` or
`full` fronts six knobs: `modes.workflow`, `docs.density`, `qa.level`,
`modes.story_granularity`, `modes.review_mode` and `team.size`. It defaults to
`minimal`, which is a change from 1.0's behaviour: the heavier tier was
measured costing several times more to reach working code without producing a
better result, and returning nothing when a fresh developer inherited the
project. Pin `modes.rigor: standard` to keep 1.0's process level.

Also in this release:

- `/settings` to view or change any setting, and `project.local.yaml` for
  per-developer preferences that should not be committed.
- `system_overrides` to hold one system to a higher standard than the rest of
  the project, and `testing.strict` to set per test type whether missing
  evidence blocks a story or warns.
- A story that changes anything the player sees is not closed until the game
  has been launched, observed, and a screenshot retained in
  `production/qa/evidence/`. A parse check is not a run. This holds at every
  rigor level, including `minimal`, where automated tests are waived but the
  look is not.
- The code root is engine-specific and enforced as such: Godot `src/`, Unity
  `Assets/`, Unreal `Source/<Module>/`. Two of the three will not build a
  project laid out any other way.
- Migration tooling for existing projects: `.claude/scripts/migrate-v1-config.sh`
  converts a 1.0 layout, non-destructively by default, with a report to review
  before `--finalize` deletes anything.
- Ask-before-write holds regardless of personal automation settings.

1.1 KiB

Gate definition. The spawning skill passes this file's path to the director agent; the AGENT reads it — the parent session should not.

ND-CONSISTENCY — Narrative Director Consistency Check

Agent: narrative-director | Model tier: Sonnet (Tier 2 lead — invoked when a domain specialist's feasibility sign-off is needed)

Trigger: After writer deliverables (dialogue, lore, item descriptions) are authored, or when a design decision has narrative implications

Context to pass:

  • Document or content file path(s)
  • Narrative bible or tone guide path (if exists)
  • Relevant world-building rules
  • Character or faction profiles affected

Prompt:

"Review this narrative content for internal consistency and adherence to established world rules. Are character voices consistent with their established profiles? Does the lore contradict any established facts? Is the tone consistent with the game's narrative direction? Return APPROVE, CONCERNS [specific inconsistencies to fix], or REJECT [contradictions that break the narrative foundation]."

Verdicts: APPROVE / CONCERNS / REJECT
