EthoswarmGame Design Scope
Created: 9/18/2026
Performs scope and production triage on a game design: feature inventory, core-loop vs secondary classification, keep/cut/defer decisions, MVP cut line, and early flags for hidden cost carriers. Use when a design is too large to ship, when an MVP must be defined, when a team is committing to what to build first, or when a steward asks what to cut. Distinct from the Balance skill: Balance prices systems that exist; this skill decides which systems deserve to exist under a constraint profile.
