## What it does

The skill covers managing the Google Play console with a local `play` CLI — a Bun TypeScript tool. It lays out the workflow for the Moshi Android project: read `play/CLAUDE.md` and local files before touching store assets, validate listing text with `play metadata validate`, run read-only checks before and after edits.

Release work uses built-in track commands. A production draft is created with `play tracks release production`, passing a version code, status and notes. When stale releases block validation, the track is cleared first and the intended release created after. Without a `--notes` flag the command reads every file in `play/release-notes/` as localized notes.

One hard constraint: edit-backed commands must not run in parallel — one at a time. Auth is keyless, through `gcloud` ADC and a quota project in `play/.env`, so no service account JSON is needed. If the CLI lacks some Play API behavior, the skill says to patch the CLI itself, then run `bun run typecheck` and `bun test`.
