What it does

Lifecycle Check is an agent skill from MillenniumDawn/Millennium-Dawn. Audit a country branch against the focus tree lifecycle checklist (focus tree, ideas, decisions, OOB, characters, loc, namelists, AI, game rules, graphics, changelog), reporting done/missing/partial per item. Use when asked if a country's content is complete or review-ready, e.g. "/lifecycle-check UKR".

Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: Millennium Dawn and it's codebase. The licence is CC-BY-SA-4.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked if a countrys content is complete
  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “s content is complete or review-ready, e.g.”
  • “/lifecycle-check”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5821281. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Lifecycle Check loads about 977 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 303 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~977

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Audit a country branch against the focus tree lifecycle checklist (focus tree, ideas, decisions, OOB, characters, loc, namelists, AI, game rules, graphics, changelog), reporting done/missing/partial per item. Use when asked if a country's content is complete or review-ready, e.g. "/lifecycle-check UKR".

Syntax: /lifecycle-check [TAG]. Without a TAG, infer it from the most frequent country prefix in git diff origin/main...HEAD --name-only.

Read docs/src/content/resources/focus-tree-lifecycle-checklist.md first.

Checks

Mark each item Done, Missing, or Partial (the file exists but looks like a stub).

Drafting cannot be checked from files. Remind the user that draft approval comes before coding.

Output

One line per item, grouped by phase, with [✓], [✗], [~], or [?], the item name, and the path or reason. End with a count of done, missing, partial, and manual-only. Flag any missing item required before lead review: focus tree, OOB, localisation, changelog.
