What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the problem of deploying urgent fixes without skipping necessary review, testing, audit documentation, or correct backporting.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Severity-based triage: Classifies issues as S1/S2 and stops if a hotfix is not warranted (S3 or lower), directing teams to normal bug-fix workflow.
- Audit-tracked hotfix record: Creates a structured hotfix log with problem, root cause, fix, testing, approvals, and rollback plan.
- Branching, approvals, and QA gates: Creates a dedicated hotfix branch, collects required sign-offs (lead-programmer, qa-tester, producer), runs the appropriate QA gate (smoke check vs team-qa vs full QA), then updates status and coordinates deployment merges.
Quick Start
Request the workflow by explicitly asking: /hotfix with a bug-id or a brief description of what is broken and how badly it impacts players.
