balance-check

name	balance-check
description	Analyzes game balance data (ScriptableObjects, configs) for outliers, broken progressions, and degenerate strategies.
argument-hint	[system-name or path-to-data]
user-invocable	true
allowed-tools	Read, Glob, Grep

When this skill is invoked:

1. Read balance data: ScriptableObjects, config files, formula implementations.

2. Analyze by domain:

   • Combat: DPS ranges, time-to-kill, damage type effectiveness
   • Economy: Resource flow (sources vs sinks), inflation risk
   • Progression: XP curves, power scaling, dead zones
   • Loot/Drops: Drop rates, expected time-to-acquire

3. Check for:

   • Outliers (values 2+ standard deviations from mean)
   • Degenerate strategies (one dominant approach)
   • Dead zones (progression feels stalled)
   • Infinite loops (economy exploits)
   • Power curves that flatten or spike unexpectedly

4. Output:

## Balance Check: [System]

### Data Summary
[Key ranges and distributions]

### Outliers Found
| Value | Expected Range | Actual | Impact |
|-------|---------------|--------|--------|

### Balance Concerns
1. [Concern]: [Evidence and recommendation]

### Verdict: [BALANCED / MINOR TUNING / REBALANCE NEEDED]
