## What it does

The skill asks focused questions, then uses a MapleStory Worlds catalog of genres, map types, mechanics, and effort hints to shape a game concept. It produces a GDD and milestone roadmap in Markdown. For ambitious ideas, it scopes the initial build around a playable core and leaves broader features for later phases.

Already have planning files? The skill checks `Docs/` and `Archive/` to work out where the project stands before guiding a resume. It tracks plans and progress; it does not implement game code. Its planning is specific to MapleStory Worlds and mLua, so that environment shapes the designs it can help plan.
