Hook: pre-commit-design-check

Trigger

Runs before any commit that modifies files in design/ or assets/data/.

Purpose

Ensures design documents and game data files maintain consistency and completeness before they enter version control. Catches missing sections, broken cross-references, and invalid data before they propagate.

Implementation

#!/bin/bash
# Pre-commit hook: Design document and game data validation
# Place in .git/hooks/pre-commit or configure via your hook manager

DESIGN_FILES=$(git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACM | grep -E '^design/')
DATA_FILES=$(git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACM | grep -E '^assets/data/')

            if [[ "$file" == design/gdd/* ]]; then
                for section in "Overview" "Detailed" "Edge Cases" "Dependencies" "Acceptance Criteria"; do

Agent Integration

When this hook fails, the committer should:

1. For missing design sections: invoke the game-designer agent to complete the document
2. For invalid JSON: invoke the tools-programmer agent or fix manually
