Is this skill specific to Unity?

While it uses terminology common in Unity development (like Prefabs and Canvas), the architectural checks apply to most component-based game engines.

How do I start the readiness check?

You can trigger the skill by asking 'am I ready to start the jam?', requesting a 'pre-jam checklist', or using the /jam-status command.

Can this skill be used for team projects?

Yes, it includes checks for Git setup and project structure to ensure every team member has a synchronized development environment.

What specifically does this skill verify?

It checks for the presence of 20 essential starter scripts, ensures core Managers are initialized in the correct order, and validates Input System bindings and key prefabs.

Does it provide a final readiness score?

The skill provides a 'Final Verdict' which either confirms you are 'Ready to jam!' or lists critical blockers and items needing attention.

About

The Jam Prep Checklist skill provides an interactive pre-launch audit for game development projects, ensuring that all essential managers, scripts, and configurations are correctly initialized before the pressure of a game jam begins. It automates the verification of starter scripts, input systems, and scene hierarchies while checking team alignment and performance baselines to prevent technical blockers during the development sprint. By running this comprehensive check, developers can focus entirely on creativity and gameplay once the clock starts, knowing their foundation is solid.
