## Description

Critical-path smoke gate before QA hand-off, runs the automated suite. A failed check means the build is not QA-ready.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Smoke Check

This skill is the gate between "implementation done" and "ready for QA
hand-off". It runs the automated test suite, checks for test coverage gaps,
batch-verifies critical paths with the developer, and produces a PASS/FAIL
report.

The rule is simple: **a build that fails smoke check does not go to QA.**
Handing a broken build to QA wastes their time and demoralises the team.

**Output:** `production/qa/smoke-[date].md`

Every `AskUserQuestion` call follows `.claude/docs/automation-modes.md`
(collaborative asks always · guided major-only · autonomous logs and proceeds;
`automation_always_ask` categories always prompt).

**`qa.level`**: at `minimal`, smoke-check is **optional**, if
run, a FAIL is advisory and never blocks hand-off, and a project with no game
tests is checked by its build, launch and critical paths alone (Phase 1 step 1); at `standard`, it is required
before a phase transition; at `full`, before every commit. This sits in front of
the Phase 6 `testing.strict.config` resolution (which only matters once a smoke run
gates). Distinct axis from `workflow`.

## Parse Arguments

Arguments can be combined: `/smoke-check sprint --platform console`

**Base mode** (first argument, default: `sprint`):
- `sprint`, full smoke check against the current sprint's stories
- `quick`, skip coverage scan (Phase 3) and Batch 3; use for rapid re-checks

**Platform flag** (`--platform`, default: none):
- `--platform pc`, add PC-specific checks (keyboard, mouse, windowed mode)
- `--platform console`, add console-specific checks (gamepad, TV safe zones,
  platform certification requirements)
- `--platform mobile`, add mobile-specific checks (touch, portrait/landscape,
  battery/thermal behaviour)
- `--platform all`, add all platform variants; output per-platform verdict table
