## What it does

The skill loads before you publish or update a live Roblox experience. First it asks you to record what changed: places, scripts, assets, configuration, schemas, products, supported devices and the rollback path. Each gate gets classified as required, conditional or not applicable before any testing starts.

High-consequence failures block the release. Persistence changed? Load `roblox-data` or `roblox-server-data`. Remotes or authority changed? `roblox-networking` and `roblox-security`. Purchases? `roblox-monetization`. Cloud auth or webhooks? `roblox-cloud`. A failed gate means NOT READY, and averaging it into a percentage is not allowed. User approval authorizes an action, but it does not turn an unverified gate into PASS.

Then comes the shipped surface: one normal flow plus failure, retry, leave/rejoin and rapid-input cases. Errors, memory, frame and network cost, and streaming get measured. Focus, touch targets, contrast, non-color state cues, reduced motion and localized overflow are checked where they apply. Output is `READY`, `NOT READY` or `READY WITH ACCEPTED RISK`, blockers first, then warnings, unverified gates, evidence and the rollback plan. Every PASS needs a test, log, profiler capture, readback or screenshot behind it. No evidence, no PASS.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-publish-checklist -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/roblox-publish-checklist/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/roblox-publish-checklist/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-publish-checklist -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/roblox-publish-checklist/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-publish-checklist -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/roblox-publish-checklist/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install TabooHarmony/roblox-brain roblox-publish-checklist
```

```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-publish-checklist -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --path skills/tools/roblox-publish-checklist
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/roblox-publish-checklist/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-publish-checklist -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/TabooHarmony/roblox-brain/tree/HEAD/skills/tools/roblox-publish-checklist/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- list changed places and assets before a release
- check data migration and saving after persistence edits
- close validation gaps in remotes and ownership checks
- confirm purchase grants are idempotent and survive retries
- collect evidence per gate instead of verbal assurances

## Example prompts
- run roblox-publish-checklist before I publish this update
- check whether the build is ready: remotes and saving changed
- do a pre-release audit and show blockers with evidence

# Roblox Publish Checklist

## When to Load

Load before publishing or updating a live experience. Test the surfaces and risks the change introduces.

## Quick Reference

### 1. Define the release

Record the changed places, scripts, assets, configuration, schemas, products, supported devices, and rollback path. Classify each gate as required, conditional, or not applicable before testing.

### 2. Block on high-consequence failures

- **Persistence changed:** load, save, migration, duplicate-session, disconnect, and shutdown behavior. Load `roblox-data` or `roblox-server-data`.
- **Remotes or authority changed:** validate types, bounds, state, ownership, replay, and abusive frequency. Load `roblox-networking` and `roblox-security`.
- **Purchases changed:** test durable, idempotent receipt grants and retries. Load `roblox-monetization`.
- **Cloud auth or webhooks changed:** verify secrets, scopes, callback state, retries, signatures, and deduplication. Load `roblox-cloud`.

A failed high-consequence gate means NOT READY. Do not average it into a percentage. Precedence: user approval authorizes an otherwise permitted action; it does not satisfy a mandatory policy and does not turn a failed or unverified gate into PASS.

### 3. Exercise the shipped surface
```
