Game Soft Launch Review

Use this skill to convert a high-stakes product decision into a concrete, measurable, reviewable operating artifact.

Workflow

1. Identify game genre, target market, test region, acquisition source, monetization model, core loop, and launch decision horizon.
2. Read references/game-soft-launch-patterns.md.
3. Define cohort gates across retention, session quality, economy, IAP, ads, crashes, store conversion, support, and community sentiment.
4. Separate product learning, monetization tuning, technical readiness, acquisition quality, and creative/listing tests.
5. Produce soft-launch plan, gate matrix, live-ops calendar, instrumentation, and scale/iterate/kill decision record.

When not to use

• Do not use for generic advice the base model already handles without this skill's specific artifact contract.
