## What it does

The skill structures Steam pre-launch preparation for indie teams. Instead of vague marketing tactics, it selects a single operational packet: store page promise reviews, wishlist signal checks, demo launch gates, festival schedules, or release checklists.

It isolates traffic shortfalls from store conversion defects and accounts for strict Steam mechanics. Releasing a public demo triggers a one-time notification to store followers, while Valve reviews require manual verification time. Skipping a Coming Soon page makes a demo launch impossible under Valve rules. General acquisition campaigns, game crashes, and Steam Deck frame pacing get routed to other tools.
