Art Pipeline Specification Generator

Create a comprehensive art pipeline specification document.

Context Gathering

Before generating the pipeline spec, understand the project:

Analyze Art Requirements

• What types of assets are needed?
• What DCC tools does the team use?
• What's the target engine?
• What's the team size and experience?

Understand Technical Requirements

• What platforms are targeted?
• What are the performance budgets?
• What file formats are required?
• What version control is used?

Check Existing Infrastructure

• Is there an existing pipeline to build on?
• What automation exists?
• What pain points exist currently?
• What tools/scripts are available?

Identify Constraints

• Timeline for pipeline development?
• Team resources for pipeline work?
• Budget for tools/licenses?
• Technical limitations?

Use this context to design appropriate pipeline.

Output Format

# Art Pipeline Specification: [Project Name]

## Overview
**Asset types covered:** [What this pipeline handles]
**DCC tools:** [Software used]
**Target engine:** [Destination]
**Team size:** [Number of artists]

## Pipeline Diagram

[DCC] → [Export] → [Process] → [Import] → [Engine] ↓ ↓ ↓ [Validate] [Optimize] [Verify]

## Directory Structure

### Source (Art Repo)

/Art ├─ /Characters ├─ /Environment ├─ /Props ├─ /VFX └─ /UI

### Intermediate
[Where exports go before engine import]

### Engine Assets
[Final asset locations in engine project]

## Naming Conventions

| Asset Type | Pattern | Example |
|------------|---------|---------|
| [Type] | [Pattern] | [Example] |

## Per-Asset Workflows

### [Asset Type]
**Source format:** [.blend, .psd, etc.]
**Export format:** [.fbx, .png, etc.]
**Engine format:** [prefab, asset, etc.]

#### Workflow Steps

### Import Automation
| Processor | Asset Types | Actions |
|-----------|-------------|---------|
| [Name] | [What it handles] | [What it does] |

### CI/CD Integration
[How pipeline integrates with builds]

## Quality Assurance

### Automated Checks
| Check | When | Pass Criteria |
|-------|------|---------------|
| [Check] | [Export/Import/Build] | [Requirements] |

### Manual Review
