v0.2.0 - Live Data

v0.2.0 - Live Data

Companion workflows for the Steam MCP Server (10 read-only tools). Configure MCP in Cursor, then skills prefer MCP calls over raw curl where a tool exists.

Added

• steam-api-key-usage rule: suggests MCP tools instead of raw curl / fetch to Steam APIs in scripts and config (scoped globs).

Changed

• All 14 skills: ## MCP Integration (Future) replaced with ## MCP Usage using real tool names and parameters from steam-mcp.
• 6 skills add workflow callouts to prefer MCP first: store lookup, player stats, profile lookup, game comparison, workshop helper, leaderboards.
• steam-api-reference: full catalog of the 10 MCP tools, auth, and parameters.
• README: MCP setup sample for .cursor/mcp.json, tools table, version 0.2.0.
• CLAUDE.md, CHANGELOG.md, ROADMAP.md: version and rule counts updated.

Install: symlink or clone as in README. Add steam-mcp to MCP config for live API calls.
