-# GDD Workflow Validation Checklist
-
-**Purpose**: Validate GDD workflow outputs are complete, playable, and ready for solutioning.
-
-**Scope**: All game project levels (0-4)
-
-**Expected Outputs**: GDD.md, epics.md
-
----
-
-## 1. Output Files Exist
-
-- [ ] GDD.md created in output folder
-- [ ] epics.md created in output folder (separate file)
-- [ ] bmm-workflow-status.md updated
-- [ ] No unfilled {{template_variables}}
-
----
-
-## 2. Core Gameplay Definition (CRITICAL)
-
-### Game Pillars
-
-- [ ] **2-4 game pillars defined** (fundamental gameplay elements)
-- [ ] Each pillar is game-defining (not superficial)
-- [ ] Pillars are distinct (don't overlap)
-
-### Core Gameplay Loop
-
-- [ ] **Complete cycle documented** (what player does repeatedly)
-- [ ] Loop shows: player action → outcome → reward → motivation to repeat
-- [ ] Loop sounds compelling and repeatable
-
-### Win/Loss Conditions
-
-- [ ] Victory conditions clearly defined
-- [ ] Failure conditions defined (or N/A for sandbox games)
-- [ ] Conditions are testable
-
----
-
-## 3. Game Mechanics and Systems
-
-### Mechanics
-
-- [ ] Primary mechanics described in detail
-- [ ] Mechanics support the game pillars
-- [ ] Player interaction with mechanics is clear
-
-### Progression
-
-- [ ] Player progression system defined (skill/power/unlock/narrative)
-- [ ] Difficulty curve explained
-- [ ] Progression feels rewarding
-
-### Platform and Controls
-
-- [ ] Target platforms specified
-- [ ] Control scheme appropriate for platforms
-- [ ] Input method clear (keyboard/gamepad/touch/etc.)
-
----
-
-## 4. Story Quality (If epics.md exists)
-
-### Epic Structure
-
-- [ ] Epics represent deliverable game features
-- [ ] Epic sequence makes sense for game development
-- [ ] Stories show implementation path
-
-### Story Sequencing (If stories present)
-
-- [ ] **Vertical slices**: Each story delivers playable functionality
-- [ ] **Sequential ordering**: Stories build progressively
-- [ ] **No forward dependencies**: Each story builds on previous work only
-- [ ] Stories result in testable game features
-
----
-
-## 5. Technical Specifications
-
-### Performance and Platform
-
-- [ ] Performance requirements specified (frame rate, resolution, etc.)
-- [ ] Platform-specific considerations noted
-- [ ] Asset requirements estimated
-
-### Production Scope
-
-- [ ] Art requirements realistic for project scale
-- [ ] Audio requirements documented
-- [ ] Scope matches project level and resources
-
----
-
-## 6. Narrative Integration (If Applicable)
-
-**If narrative-design.md was generated:**
-
-- [ ] Narrative aligns with GDD game design
-- [ ] Story supports gameplay (not fighting it)
-- [ ] Tone consistent across GDD and narrative docs
-
----
-
-## 7. Consistency
-
-- [ ] Epic titles match between GDD.md and epics.md
-- [ ] Game type identified and appropriate
-- [ ] Terminology consistent throughout
-- [ ] No contradictions between sections
-
----
-
-## 8. Readiness for Solutioning
-
-- [ ] Sufficient detail for engine/platform selection
-- [ ] Game systems defined enough for technical architecture
-- [ ] Clear what needs to be built
-- [ ] Playable vision (reader can envision playing the game)
-
----
-
-## 9. Critical Failures (Auto-Fail)
-
-- [ ] ❌ **No core gameplay loop** (can't be a game without this)
-- [ ] ❌ **No game pillars** (game-defining elements missing)
-- [ ] ❌ **No mechanics** (what does player actually DO?)
-- [ ] ❌ **No epics.md file** (implementation roadmap required)
-- [ ] ❌ **Engine/tech in GDD** (should defer to solutioning workflow)
-
----
-
-## Validation Notes
-
-**Document any findings:**
-
-- Game concept strength: [Compelling / Interesting / Unclear / Weak]
-- Strengths:
-- Issues to address:
-- Recommended actions:
-
-**Ready for solutioning?** [Yes / No - explain]
-
----
-
-_Adapt based on game type and narrative complexity. Core gameplay must always be solid._
