steam-publish-plan

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes uncertainty and manual coordination when preparing a Steam release by producing a structured, review-ready Steamworks publishing plan that covers app relationships, packages, depots, review sequencing, Coming Soon timing, and downstream variant decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Release Shape Mapping: Interpret release shapes such as premium, demo, playtest, early-access, dlc, soundtrack, bundle, or mixed and map them to Steam app and package strategies.
• Depot & Package Planning: Define depot assignments, package groupings, and store build segregation to support demos, playtests, DLC, and bundles.
• Review Sequencing & Timing: Plan store page reviews, build submission order, and Coming Soon launch timing with a risk register and named owners.
• Context-Aware Integration: Reads AGENTS.md, studio templates, production release artifacts, and steam publishing guides to ensure the plan aligns with project technical preferences and existing release artifacts.
• Operational Output: Produces a draft formatted for docs/studio/templates and can write the final plan to production/releases/steam when approved.

Quick Start

Run $steam-publish-plan with the desired release shape (for example premium or demo) to generate a draft Steam publishing plan and optionally save it to production/releases/steam.
