## What it does

The skill verifies completed stories before closing them in the project tracker. It finds the story file from the invocation argument, the active session state, or through `story-facts.sh`. The agent inspects criteria against the codebase, test presence, and UI screenshots. It never guesses runtime behaviour from code alone; instead, it asks the developer directly.

Verification depth scales with the configured tier. In full mode, the skill extracts requirements from the GDD via `md-section.sh`, checks architecture decisions with `adr-status.sh`, and validates technical requirement entries. It also flags gameplay numbers that belong in data files and raw strings missing from localization.

No story is marked complete without explicit user confirmation. Once approved, the skill writes completion notes, updates the story status, and records the sprint state in `production/sprint-status.yaml`. It enforces strict documentation standards, which will fail if your repository lacks the expected helper scripts.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill story-done -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/story-done/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/story-done/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill story-done -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/story-done/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill story-done -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/story-done/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios story-done

gemini skills install https://github.com/Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --path .claude/skills/story-done
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/story-done/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill story-done -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/story-done/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- verify acceptance criteria against test evidence and screenshots
- detect implementation deviations from GDD and ADR records
- catch hardcoded gameplay constants and unlocalized strings
- update sprint status files and log technical debt

## Example prompts
- \`/story-done`
- \`/story-done production/epics/combat.md --review lean`
- Close the active story with story-done

# Story Done

Closes a finished story. Every acceptance criterion is checked against evidence,
deviations from the GDD, the ADRs and the story's own scope are reported as facts,
and the story is marked Complete only on the user's yes.

**Writes, after the user's yes:** the story file (`Status`, `Last Updated`, a
`## Completion Notes` section) and its `production/sprint-status.yaml` entry;
`docs/tech-debt-register.md` only when the user picks that option. The session
checkpoint is written at the end of every run, whatever the verdict.
**Next:** the next story (Phase 8).

Asks follow `.claude/docs/automation-modes.md` (collaborative always asks, guided
asks on major choices, autonomous logs and goes on; `automation_always_ask`
categories always ask).

Checklist (copy it and tick as you go):

```
- [ ] Phase 1: story found, facts and settings read
- [ ] Phase 2: what the story is checked against, loaded for its tier
- [ ] Phase 3: each criterion verified, traceability table built
- [ ] Phase 4: test evidence and run result checked
- [ ] Phase 5: deviations and scope checked
- [ ] Phase 6: review gates run, or their skip noted
- [ ] Phase 7: report and verdict shown; close asked
- [ ] Phase 8: next story named, checkpoint written, closing block printed
```

## Phase 1: The story and its settings
