description	Create a Steam Early Access plan covering the Early Access Q and A, roadmap framing, save-compatibility strategy, update cadence, and price-change risks. Use when the base game will launch in Early Access.

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

Steam Early Access

Phase 1: Load Context

Read:

• production/releases/steam/steam-publish-plan.md
• production/releases/steam/coming-soon-calendar.md if it exists
• docs/studio/templates/steam-early-access-template.md

If the publish plan is missing, report Verdict: BLOCKED and ask the user to run $steam-publish-plan first.

Phase 2: Generate the Early Access Plan

Fill in:

• current playable state
• what remains unfinished
• path to 1.0
• Steam Early Access Q and A draft answers
• save compatibility and update cadence
• pricing and discount cautions

Use docs/studio/templates/steam-early-access-template.md.

Phase 3: Save the Artifact

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

If yes, write the file.

Phase 4: Next Steps

Verdict: COMPLETE — Steam Early Access plan prepared.

• Run $steam-store-assets to align the store page with the Early Access message.
• Run $steam-bundles-pricing before committing to launch discounts or price changes.
