SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents broken launches by validating launch readiness across code, content, store, marketing, community, infrastructure, legal, and final go/no-go sign-offs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Production-wide readiness scanning: Reviews project context and checks codebase health by locating debug markers and risky placeholders.
  • Launch checklist generation: Produces a department-by-department checklist covering build health, testing, performance, assets, localization, store materials, legal compliance, infrastructure, analytics, and operations.
  • Dry-run support for safer planning: Generates the checklist without writing sign-off artifacts or output files.

Use case: You’re approaching a release date and need a single authoritative checklist that catches TODO/FIXME/HACK hotspots, missing or placeholder assets, incomplete localization, unfinalized store/legal items, and operational gaps.

Quick Start

Run the launch-checklist skill in dry-run mode by invoking /launch-checklist dry-run to generate a complete readiness plan without writing files.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is game launch readiness validation and how does it prevent broken releases?

Game launch readiness validation reviews codebase health, content readiness, store compliance, and infrastructure stability to prevent broken releases. It generates a department-by-department checklist catching debug markers, placeholder assets, incomplete localization, and unfinalized store materials.

How do I generate a comprehensive pre-launch checklist for a game release?

Generate a comprehensive pre-launch checklist by reading project context files like CLAUDE.md and milestone documentation, then validating build health, testing, performance, assets, localization, store materials, legal compliance, infrastructure, and analytics. Invoke the skill in dry-run mode to produce a complete readiness plan without writing files.

Can I scan for TODO, FIXME, and HACK markers before a production game launch?

Yes, launch readiness scanning reviews project context and checks codebase health by locating debug markers like TODO, FIXME, and HACK hotspots. It also identifies missing or placeholder assets, incomplete localization, and operational gaps across multiple departments.

Does the launch checklist cover store compliance and legal preparation for game releases?

Yes, the launch checklist covers store compliance and legal preparation by validating finalized store materials, legal items, and release artifacts. It produces a structured readiness output spanning build, content, store, infrastructure, analytics, and community operations.

What's the best way to run a dry-run launch readiness check without writing sign-off files?

Run a dry-run launch readiness check by invoking the skill in dry-run mode to generate a complete readiness plan without writing sign-off artifacts or output files. This allows safer planning by reviewing the department-by-department checklist before committing to a dated release checklist file.

What project context files do I need for an end-to-end pre-launch readiness scan?

An end-to-end pre-launch readiness scan requires project context files like CLAUDE.md and milestone or release checklist documentation. These files provide the necessary context to validate build health, content readiness, infrastructure, analytics, and final go/no-go sign-offs across departments.
