Explicit invocation only: Run this skill only when the user explicitly asks for $steam-dlc.

Steam DLC

Phase 1: Load Context

Read:

• production/releases/steam/steam-publish-plan.md
• production/releases/steam/bundles-pricing.md if it exists
• docs/studio/templates/steam-dlc-plan-template.md

If the base Steam publish plan is missing, report Verdict: BLOCKED.

Phase 2: Generate the DLC Plan

Cover:

• DLC type and launch window
• dependency on the base game
• paid versus free positioning
• App ID, depot, and ownership-gate decisions
• save compatibility
• bundle impact and QA focus

Use docs/studio/templates/steam-dlc-plan-template.md.

Phase 3: Save the Artifact

Ask: May I write this to production/releases/steam/dlc-plan.md?

If yes, write the file.

Phase 4: Next Steps

Verdict: COMPLETE — Steam DLC plan prepared.

• Run $steam-bundles-pricing if the DLC affects deluxe editions or complete-the-set bundles.
• Run $steam-review-ready before the DLC release submission.
