SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Shipping a game release requires tracking dozens of validation items across builds, platform certification, store listings, and launch operations, and missing any one of them can delay or block a launch. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Codebase Health Scan: Counts TODO, FIXME, and HACK comments to surface outstanding issues before release. - Platform-Specific Checklists: Generates tailored requirement sections for PC, console, or mobile targets, including TRC/TCR certification and store compliance items. - Go/No-Go Assessment: Produces a readiness verdict with blocking items and required sign-offs from QA, engineering, and production leads. - Use Case: Before submitting a build to Steam certification, run the checklist for the pc platform to verify build reproducibility, achievement integration, age ratings, and store page metadata in one document. ## Quick Start Run /release-checklist with the pc argument to generate a full pre-release validation checklist saved to the production/releases directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a release checklist for a game launch?

Invoke the skill with /release-checklist and optionally pass a platform argument (pc, console, mobile, or all). It scans the codebase for outstanding issues, reads milestone context, and writes a structured checklist to production/releases/.

What does a pre-release checklist for PC games include?

The PC section covers minimum spec verification, controller and resolution testing, Steam/Epic/GOG SDK integration, achievements, cloud saves, and Steam Deck compatibility. It also includes build verification and store metadata items.

Does the checklist support console certification requirements?

Yes, the console platform option generates a section covering TRC/TCR/Lotcheck requirements, suspend/resume behavior, controller prompts, parental controls, and first-party certification submission preparation.

How does the skill decide if a release is ready to ship?

It produces a Go/No-Go verdict based on codebase health (FIXME and HACK counts), quality gates like zero critical bugs, and completion of checklist sections. Blocking items are listed with required sign-offs from QA, engineering, and production leads.

Where is the generated release checklist saved?

The checklist is saved as a Markdown file to production/releases/release-checklist-[version].md, and the directory is created automatically if it does not exist.
