For AI agents. Follow it from top to bottom. Each step names the tool and what must be true before you go on. Fetch this page as Markdown: https://docs.summerengine.com/publishing/agent-checklist.md. Never say the game is published, in review or live. You stop at the approval link. The owner approves.

​
0. Connected

  • The hosted MCP answers: summer_store_list_games returns a list (it may be empty).
  • On the owner’s computer: the npm summer-engine MCP lists the summer_store_* tools. If it shows only summer_store_tools, the owner runs summer login --store once.
  • If either fails, give the owner the steps on Connect your agent and stop.

​
1. The game

  • summer_list_projects, then summer_get_project: the project and its board id.
  • Read the project: genre, main scene, single-player or multiplayer, platforms it is built for.
  • Ask the owner only what the project does not say: platforms, price.

​
2. The store game

  • summer_store_list_games. If the game is there, use its gameId.
  • Otherwise summer_store_create_game with the title and targets.
    • Web, Mac, Windows, Linux → web, macos-universal, windows-x64, linux-x64 (desktop store).
    • iPhone, Android → ios, android (mobile store).
  • summer_store_get_listing: note the stores, the empty slots and the checklist.

​
3. Analytics (before export)

  • Optional. If the owner wants events, add 3-10 with the summer-analytics skill. Fire and forget, no personal data. See Analytics in Grow.

​
4. Text

  • summer_store_update_listing:
    • desktop tagline (up to 80), description (120-300), tags (3-8 store categories);
    • mobile: mobileSameAsDesktop: true if it fits 120-170, else its own tagline and description;
    • contentRating and contentDescriptors.
  • Only what the game really has. No filler phrases, no prices.
  • Rules: Store page text.

​
5. Art

For each empty required slot of each store the game is on:
  • Look in My assets first: summer_list_my_assets, summer_search_assets.
  • If nothing fits, read the board’s look (summer_board_game_soul) and make it: summer_generate_image, summer_check_job.
  • Crop to the slot’s exact shape, subject at the focal point. See Make store art.
  • Upload the crop: summer_upload_image_begin, POST the file, summer_upload_image_complete → assetId.
  • summer_store_set_art with the slot, the assetId and a focalPoint.
  • Screenshots are real gameplay: capture with the engine or ask the owner. Desktop 4-6, mobile 3-5.
  • No text in key art, the tall cover, icons or screenshots. At most 20 pictures in total.
  • Slot table: Store art.

​
6. Export

  • Pick the build per platform: Export your game.
  • Web or download: summer_export_templates list, then install what is missing.
  • summer_export_game with targets (and format: "download" for web, Mac or Windows downloads).
  • The result lists the right platforms and a main scene.

​
7. Upload

  • Each export: summer_publish_build with gameId and a new clientVersion (web builds and downloads take their platform from the export). Show the owner the preview; call again with confirm: true after they agree.
  • On a game that is already live, a web build or download is finished by the owner in Studio.
  • summer_build_status (or summer_store_version_status) says ready. On failed, fix and upload a new version.

​
8. Check

  • summer_store_get_listing: the checklist has nothing missing.
  • Optional: summer_store_preview_link and show the owner.

​
9. Submit and hand over

  • summer_store_submit with the build, the price the owner asked for (priceUsdCents, 0 = free) and a short note.
  • Give the owner the approvalUrl and say: “Open this link and click Approve publishing. Summer reviews it next.”
  • Stop.

​
After the owner approves

  • summer_store_get_listing shows the approval as approved.
  • Summer staff review the page. When the review passes, the game goes live. No second click.
  • If the approved store bundle is not yet what players get, summer_build_release releases exactly that build.
  • If the approval is Stale, read the listing again and submit again.
  • Later: summer_grow_overview for the numbers.
