SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams avoid launch-day chaos by planning and gating a limited, fix-only patch for issues found after gold master but before or immediately after public launch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Patch scoping with guardrails: Limits inclusions to safe, fast fixes (no new features, no refactoring, minimal viable changes) using severity/priority and effort thresholds.
  • Rollback plan requirement: Forces a rollback procedure to be defined before implementation so deployment risk is controlled.
  • Targeted QA gate: Runs a lightweight re-verification focused on changed areas, escalating to broader regression when needed.
  • Release record generation: Produces an internal patch record and supports player-facing patch notes preparation.

Quick Start

Run the day-one-patch skill and answer the prompts to approve the proposed scope, write the rollback plan, implement the approved fixes, pass the QA gate, and generate the day-one patch release record.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a safe day-one patch for a game launch after gold master?▼

A day-one patch requires reading release stage and gate/QA context, enforcing scope rules, producing a rollback plan, and ensuring PASS or PASS WITH WARNINGS QA verdicts before deployment.

What is the best way to scope bug fixes for a game release patch?▼

Patch scoping uses severity, priority, and effort thresholds to restrict changes to minimal viable fixes, preventing new features or refactoring from entering the day-one patch.

Can I include new features in a day-one patch for my game?▼

No, day-one patch scope rules exclude new features and refactoring, limiting inclusions to safe, fast fixes to maintain rollout discipline and control deployment risk.

Why do I need a rollback plan for a day-one patch?▼

A rollback plan is required before implementation to control deployment risk, ensuring a safe revert procedure exists if critical issues emerge during the public launch rollout.

How does targeted QA testing work for a day-one patch?▼

Targeted QA runs lightweight re-verification focused on changed areas, escalating to broader regression when needed, and requires PASS or PASS WITH WARNINGS verdicts before deployment.

What release documentation do I need to generate for a game day-one patch?▼

Generate an internal patch record and prepare player-facing patch notes after passing the QA gate, documenting the approved scope, rollback plan, and deployment status.
