description	Create a Steam Playtest operations plan covering signup messaging, cohort waves, build cadence, feedback collection, and exit criteria. Use when planning gated Steam testing before launch.

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

Steam Playtest

Phase 1: Load Context

Read:

• production/releases/steam/steam-publish-plan.md if it exists
• production/qa/ playtest notes if they exist
• docs/studio/templates/steam-playtest-plan-template.md

Phase 2: Generate the Playtest Plan

Cover:

• what the playtest is trying to prove
• signup messaging and admission policy
• approval-wave design
• build cadence and feedback collection
• exit criteria and transition path to demo or launch

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

Phase 3: Save the Artifact

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

If yes, write the file.

Phase 4: Next Steps

Verdict: COMPLETE — Steam Playtest plan prepared.

• Run $playtest-report after each cohort wave.
• Run $steam-launch-ops once the playtest transitions into launch preparation.
