SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the manual, error-prone process of assembling pre-release validation tasks by producing a single, actionable checklist that covers build verification, certification requirements, store metadata, and launch readiness. It helps teams identify blocking TODOs/FIXMEs, ensure platform requirements are met, and prepare the assets and sign-offs required for submission.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Codebase Scan: Counts and surfaces TODO, FIXME, and HACK annotations with locations and severity to highlight potential blockers.
  • Context-aware Checklist Generation: Reads project context (CLAUDE.md) and milestone data to produce a versioned, platform-specific checklist for PC, console, mobile, or all targets.
  • Platform Sections & Store Readiness: Includes tailored verification items for platform certification, store metadata, screenshots, age ratings, and launch operations.
  • Save & Workflow Integration: Presents the checklist summary and asks to save it to production/releases; recommends next steps like running gate checks and coordinating sign-offs.

Quick Start

Run /release-checklist for the desired platform (pc|console|mobile|all) to generate a detailed pre-release checklist and confirm to save it to production/releases/release-checklist-[version].md.

Frequently Asked Questions about release-checklist

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a pre-release validation checklist for a game launch?▼

Generate a pre-release validation checklist by running the release-checklist command for your target platform. It scans for blocking TODOs and FIXMEs, reads project milestone data, and outputs a platform-specific markdown checklist covering build verification and store metadata.

Can I use this pre-release checklist tool for console, PC, and mobile platforms?▼

Yes, the pre-release checklist tool supports PC, console, and mobile platforms. You can generate a checklist for a single target or use the all option to produce a comprehensive validation document covering platform certification requirements and store metadata for every platform.

How do I find blocking TODOs and FIXMEs before a software release?▼

Find blocking TODOs and FIXMEs by running an automated static codebase scan before your software release. The scan counts these annotations with their file locations and severity levels, highlighting potential blockers that need resolution before build verification and launch.

What is launch readiness validation and how does it handle store metadata?▼

Launch readiness validation is the process of verifying build stability, certification requirements, and store assets before publishing. It handles store metadata by including tailored verification items for screenshots, age ratings, and platform-specific store requirements in the final checklist.

How do I save a release checklist to my production releases directory?▼

Save a release checklist to your production releases directory by confirming the save prompt after generation. The tool writes the validated markdown file to production/releases/release-checklist-[version].md, integrating directly into your release pipeline and workflow.

Does the release checklist require any external dependencies to run?▼

No, the release checklist requires no external dependencies to run. It operates independently to read project context files like CLAUDE.md, perform static codebase scans, and generate platform-specific markdown validation checklists for your software release pipeline.
