+
+## Document Status
+
+- **Version**: 1.0
+- **Last Updated**: [Date]
+- **Owner**: creative-director
+- **Status**: Draft / Under Review / Approved
+
+> **Creative Director Review (CD-PILLARS)**: [APPROVED date / CONCERNS accepted date / REVISED date]
+
+---
+
+## Purpose
+
+This document is the source of truth for the game's creative pillars. It is
+created during `/brainstorm` once the user locks the pillars. The first version
+can be lightweight; later workflows may deepen the cross-department implications
+and validation details as the project matures.
+
+Pillars are the 3-5 non-negotiable principles that define the game's identity.
+Every design, art, audio, narrative, production, and technical decision should
+serve at least one pillar. If a feature does not serve a pillar, it probably
+does not belong in the game.
+
+---
+
+## Core Fantasy
+
+[What power, experience, or feeling does the player get from this game? This is
+the emotional promise, not a feature list.]
+
+---
+
+## Unique Hook
+
+[Like X, and also Y. The hook should make the game distinguishable from its
+closest comparables in one sentence.]
+
+---
+
+## Target MDA Aesthetics
+
+Rank the aesthetics this game is intentionally trying to deliver.
+
+| Rank | Aesthetic | How This Game Delivers It |
+| ---- | ---- | ---- |
+| 1 | [Challenge / Discovery / Fantasy / etc.] | [Specific delivery mechanism] |
+| 2 | [Aesthetic] | [Specific delivery mechanism] |
+| 3 | [Aesthetic] | [Specific delivery mechanism] |
+| Not targeted | [Aesthetic] | [Why this is not a priority] |
+
+Reference aesthetics: Sensation, Fantasy, Narrative, Challenge, Fellowship,
+Discovery, Expression, Submission.

+| [Pillar 1] | [Falsifiable definition] | [If debating X vs Y, choose __] |
+| [Pillar 2] | [Falsifiable definition] | [If debating X vs Y, choose __] |
+| [Pillar 3] | [Falsifiable definition] | [If debating X vs Y, choose __] |
+
+---
+
+## Pillar 1: [Name]
+
+**One-Sentence Definition**: [A clear, falsifiable statement of what this pillar
+means.]
+
+**Target Aesthetics Served**: [Which MDA aesthetics this pillar supports.]
+
+**Design Test**: [A concrete decision this pillar resolves.]
+
+### Cross-Department Implications
+
+| Department | This Pillar Says | Example |
+| ---- | ---- | ---- |
+| Design | [How it constrains mechanics and rules] | [Concrete example] |
+| Art | [How it constrains visuals] | [Concrete example] |
+| Audio | [How it constrains sound/music] | [Concrete example] |
+| Narrative | [How it constrains story/writing] | [Concrete example] |
+| Engineering | [Technical priorities or constraints] | [Concrete example] |
+| Production | [Scope and scheduling implications] | [Concrete example] |
+
+### Serving This Pillar
+
+- [Concrete feature or decision that embodies this pillar]
+- [Another example]
+
+### Violating This Pillar
+
+- [Plausible feature or decision that would betray the pillar]
+- [Another example]

+## Pillar 2: [Name]
+
+**One-Sentence Definition**: [A clear, falsifiable statement.]

+
+**Design Test**: [A concrete decision this pillar resolves.]

+## Optional Additional Pillars
+
+Use this section only if the game needs a fourth or fifth pillar. Keep the total
+pillar count between 3 and 5.
+
+---
+
+## Anti-Pillars
+
+Anti-pillars define what this game is not. Good anti-pillars block tempting
+ideas that would dilute the core fantasy.
+
+- **NOT [thing]**: [Why this is excluded, what pillar it would compromise, and
+  what it would cost.]

+
+## Pillar Conflict Priority
+
+When two pillars conflict, resolve the conflict in this order.
+
+| Priority | Pillar | Why It Wins |
+| ---- | ---- | ---- |
+| 1 | [Highest priority pillar] | [Rationale] |
+| 2 | [Second priority pillar] | [Rationale] |
+| 3 | [Third priority pillar] | [Rationale] |
+
+**Resolution process**:
+
+1. Identify which pillars are in tension.
+2. Check the priority table.
+3. Preserve the lower-priority pillar only where it does not weaken the higher-priority one.
+4. If the conflict is fundamental, escalate to `creative-director` for pillar revision.
+
+---
+
+## Player Motivation Alignment
+
+Use Self-Determination Theory as a sanity check.
+
+| Need | Which Pillar Serves It | How |
+| ---- | ---- | ---- |
+| Autonomy | [Pillar name] | [Meaningful choices or agency] |
+| Competence | [Pillar name] | [Mastery, feedback, skill growth] |
+| Relatedness | [Pillar name] | [Connection, belonging, emotional bond] |
+
+---
+
+## Reference Games and Inspirations
+
+| Reference | What We Take From It | What We Do Differently | Which Pillar It Validates |
+| ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- |
+| [Game 1] | [Specific mechanic, feeling, or approach] | [Our twist] | [Pillar] |
+| [Game 2] | [Specific learning] | [Our twist] | [Pillar] |
+| [Game 3] | [Specific learning] | [Our twist] | [Pillar] |
+
+**Non-game inspirations**: [Films, books, music, art, real-world experiences.]
+
+---
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+- [ ] 3-5 pillars total
+- [ ] Each pillar is falsifiable
+- [ ] Each pillar constrains real design choices
+- [ ] Each pillar has a design test
