description	Propose, scope, or review Borrow Fighters gameplay mechanics for the 2D fighting prototype, especially movement, attack states, hitbox/hurtbox behavior, damage, knockback, character identity, prototype cuts, and avoiding premature fighting-game complexity.

Borrow Fighters Gameplay Design

Workflow

1. Read docs/00-vision.md for pillars.
2. Read docs/01-mini-gdd.md and docs/02-prototype-scope.md for current scope.
3. Use references/prototype-combat.md when judging a mechanic or character idea.
4. Prefer the smallest playable test over a complete system.
5. Call out whether the idea belongs in Prototype 0.1, later, or parked.

Evaluation Checklist

• Does this make hit, damage, defense, or movement clearer?
• Can it be tested with rectangles/placeholders?
• Does it create a distinct character identity?
• Does it require animation, audio, AI, online, or tooling before core combat exists?
• Can it be reduced to one move, one state, or one debug visualization?

Output Pattern

For proposals or reviews, respond with:

• verdict: 0.1, later, or parked;
• smallest playable version;
• risks;
• docs/issues that should change.
