SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a controlled emergency workflow for resolving critical or major game bugs while preserving approvals, rollback planning, regression testing, and release traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Severity Assessment: Classifies incidents as critical or major and redirects lower-severity issues to the normal bug workflow.
  • Audited Hotfix Execution: Creates a documented hotfix record, optionally creates a dedicated Git branch, and tracks root cause, implementation, testing, approvals, and rollback plans.
  • Quality and Release Gates: Coordinates programmer, QA, producer, and QA-lead reviews before deployment, then supports post-deploy verification and incident follow-up.
  • Use Case: When a live game build causes data loss or blocks gameplay, use this Skill to assess severity, implement the smallest fix, obtain required sign-offs, run the appropriate regression checks, and prepare the patch for both release and development branches.

Quick Start

Invoke the hotfix skill with a bug ID or description to begin the severity assessment and emergency fix workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage a hotfix for a critical game bug without disrupting the normal release workflow?▼

A hotfix for a critical game bug requires a controlled emergency workflow that assesses severity, implements the smallest fix, obtains multi-role approvals, and prepares patches for both release and development branches.

When should I use an emergency hotfix workflow instead of the standard bug resolution process?▼

An emergency hotfix workflow is needed when a live game build causes data loss, blocks gameplay, or has security issues, while lower-severity bugs should be redirected to the normal bug workflow.

What steps are required to get release approval for a production hotfix?▼

Production hotfix release approval requires severity confirmation, documented rollback planning, programmer and producer reviews, QA regression testing, and QA-lead sign-off before deployment.

How do I handle branch management when backporting a hotfix?▼

Branch management for a hotfix involves creating a dedicated Git branch, applying the minimal implementation scope fix, and backporting the patch to both release and development branches.

Does this hotfix workflow support regression testing and post-deploy verification?▼

Yes, the hotfix workflow coordinates QA regression checks, QA re-entry assessment, and post-deploy verification to ensure the fix resolves the incident without introducing new issues.

Can I use this hotfix process for minor bugs that don't block gameplay?▼

No, this hotfix process is designed for critical or major incidents; minor bugs that do not cause gameplay outages or data loss are redirected to the normal bug workflow.
