Agent Skills: Gaia Product Production Hardening

Provides Stage 6 production-and-hardening guidance for consumer one-off / in-app-purchase products - scaling content to v1 with tooling and post-launch runway, full art/audio/VFX to the lovable bar with licensing cleared, localization-at-scale with localized price tiers reconciled to net-by-geo, device/OS matrix and performance, backend/economy services with anti-cheat and IAP-fraud/refund-abuse defenses and load testing, an accessibility baseline, and multi-layer QA reconciling production IAP end-to-end. Use to reach feature/content-complete with a production-grade IAP/entitlement path.

Gaia Product Production Hardening

Scope and when to use

Use this skill to take a proven slice to feature/content-complete and production-grade. Scope is one-off + IAP/IAG monetization; B2B seat-based SaaS is out of scope and an auto-renew model is red-lined unless an in-scope decision is recorded.

Use when:

  • a passing vertical slice must scale to a shippable v1
  • production IAP/entitlement must be hardened and reconciled end-to-end
  • device, performance, localization, and QA matrices must be cleared

Do not use when:

  • no vertical slice has passed its gate yet (run the slice first)
  • the title is shipping and only needs soft-launch/live-ops

Required inputs

  • the proven vertical slice and the binding monetization instrumentation contract
  • the current unit-economics model version and net-by-geo price tiers
  • target device/OS matrix, projected DAU, and licensing status

Owned outputs

  • content scaled to v1 with tooling and post-launch runway
  • localized, device-tested, accessible, load-tested production build
  • a production-grade IAP/entitlement path reconciled end-to-end

Core workflow

  1. Scale content to v1 via tooling/pipeline; validate each batch against economy/difficulty and build post-launch runway.
  2. Bring art/audio/VFX to the lovable bar with all licensing cleared.
  3. Localize at scale (culturally adapted) and reconcile localized price tiers to net-by-geo, with locale QA.
  4. Clear the device/OS matrix and performance targets: low-end Android, thermals/memory/load, a crash-free-users target, and fragmented-Android QA.
  5. Harden backend/economy services + save/cloud-sync + anti-cheat + IAP-fraud/refund-abuse defenses; load test at projected DAU and confirm remote-config economy.
  6. Meet an accessibility baseline as a featuring criterion.
  7. Run multi-layer QA (functional, soak/stability, compatibility, load) and reconcile production IAP end-to-end.

End-to-end IAP reconciliation

  • Production IAP must reconcile from purchase through entitlement to ledger.
  • Localized price tiers must tie back to the net-by-geo model, not just display.
  • Refund-abuse and IAP-fraud defenses must hold under projected DAU load.

Anti-patterns

  • do not scale content without validating each batch against the economy
  • do not ship localized prices that drift from the net-by-geo model
  • do not skip low-end / fragmented-Android device QA
  • do not load test below projected DAU
  • do not call IAP done without an end-to-end reconciliation

Handoff and downstream impact

  • hand soft-launch a feature/content-complete, production-grade build
  • hand the money gate the reconciled production IAP path and net-by-geo tiers
  • name the loop-back: a failed QA or reconciliation returns to hardening

Completion checklist

  • the build is feature/content-complete with post-launch runway
  • localization, device, performance, and accessibility matrices pass
  • backend/economy/anti-cheat are load-tested at projected DAU
  • production IAP/entitlement reconciles end-to-end
