What it does

Story Done is an agent skill from Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios. End-of-story completion review — verifies each acceptance criterion, checks GDD/ADR deviations, prompts code review, updates status.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `CONTRACT.md`, `references/1-find-story.md` and `references/2-read-story.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Game design, Architecture decision records and Code review. The repository describes itself as: Turn Claude Code into a full game dev studio — 49 AI agents, 72 workflow skills, and a complete coordination system mirroring real studio hierarchy. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Game design
  • Tasks that involve Architecture decision records
  • Tasks that involve Code review

Example prompts

  • “/story-done”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Bash, Write, Edit, AskUserQuestion, Agent, Bash(bash "*/.claude/skills/story-done/../../hooks/yaml-helper.sh" resolve_config *)

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Find the Story
  2. Read the Story
  3. Verify Acceptance Criteria
  4. Check for Deviations
  5. Lead Programmer Code Review Gate
  6. Present the Completion Report
  7. Update Story Status
  8. Surface the Next Story

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be8993b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash
    • Write
    • Edit
    • AskUserQuestion
    • Agent
    • Bash(bash "*/.claude/skills/story-done/../../hooks/yaml-helper.sh" resolve_config *)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Story Done loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 579 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~12k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Story Done

This skill closes the loop between design and implementation. Run it at the end of implementing any story. It ensures every acceptance criterion is verified before the story is marked done, GDD and ADR deviations are explicitly documented rather than silently introduced, code review is prompted rather than forgotten, and the story file reflects actual completion status.

Output: Updated story file (Status: Complete) + surfaced next story.


Phase 1: Find the Story

Read references/1-find-story.md now and follow it — this phase's steps are in that file, not here. Read it again if the conversation was compacted or resumed during this phase.

Phase 2: Read the Story

Collaborative Protocol

In collaborative mode (the default). For guided and autonomous modes, see .claude/docs/automation-modes.md — the rules below describe collaborative behavior. The BLOCKED-override close (Phase 7) always prompts regardless of mode (it's a scope_changes always-ask decision).

  • Never mark a story complete without user approval — Phase 7 requires an explicit "yes" before any file is edited.
  • Never auto-fix failing criteria — report them and ask what to do.
  • Deviations are facts, not judgments — present them neutrally; the user decides if they are acceptable.
  • BLOCKED and NOT ASSESSED verdicts are advisory — the user can override and mark complete anyway; document the risk explicitly if they do. For NOT ASSESSED, the documented risk is that the criterion was never evaluated, not that it failed — record which criteria those were, so the gap is recoverable later rather than closed over.
  • Use AskUserQuestion for the code review prompt and for batching manual criteria confirmations.

  • At minimal: run /dev-story [next-story-path] (/story-done for an In Review one); when every story is Complete, play the build, then /create-stories for more or /settings to raise modes.rigor
  • With a sprint plan: run /story-readiness [next-story-path] to validate the next story before starting implementation
  • If a sprint plan exists and all its Must Have stories are complete: run /smoke-check sprint → /team-qa sprint → /gate-check
  • If tech debt was logged: track it via /tech-debt to keep the register current

Can I use Story Done in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill story-done -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/story-done, .gemini/skills/story-done, .github/skills/story-done and .opencode/skills/story-done in your project.

What does Story Done need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Story Done needs the command-line tools its instructions call (bash). Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Bash, Write, Edit, AskUserQuestion, Agent, Bash(bash "*/.claude/skills/story-done/../../hooks/yaml-helper.sh" resolve_config *).

Does Story Done access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Story Done safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Story Done use?

Story Done is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Story Done use?

About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 11k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Story Done?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Story Done: Review GitHub PR (NVIDIA/OpenShell, 16k stars), RAG Code Review (lyonzin/knowledge-rag, 292 stars), Code Review (RunoreLab/MahoShojo-Generator, 166 stars) and Ad Review (CorridorTech/PoseCap, 224 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
