Categories: overwhelmingly-positive (9), very-positive (8), positive (7), mostly-positive (6), mixed (5), mostly-negative (4), negative (3), very-negative (2), overwhelmingly-negative (1)

Steam Deck Compatibility

steam library --deck-compat verified        # Verified only
steam library --deck-compat playable        # Playable only
steam library --deck-compat ok              # Verified OR Playable
steam library --show-compat                 # Show Deck column

Tags & Genres

steam library --tag "Roguelike"             # Filter by tag
steam library --genre "Strategy"            # Filter by genre
steam library --show-tags                   # Show tags column

Sorting

steam library --sort name                   # Alphabetical (default)
steam library --sort playtime               # Most played first
steam library --sort deck                   # Most Deck playtime first
steam library --sort reviews                # Best reviewed first
steam library --sort compat                 # Best Deck compat first

AI Agent Workflow

The CLI is optimized for AI agents with stream fusion and early termination.

Step 1: Discover available tags/genres (instant)

steam tags --json
steam genres --json

Step 2: Filter library with combined criteria

# Unplayed Deck Verified roguelikes with good reviews
steam library --unplayed --deck-compat verified --tag "Roguelike" --min-reviews 7 --limit 10 --json

# Well-reviewed strategy games under 5 hours
steam library --max-hours 5 --genre "Strategy" --min-reviews 8 --limit 5 --json

# Trading games playable on Deck
steam library --tag "Trading" --deck-compat ok --limit 10 --json

Performance Notes

• Local filters (playtime, unplayed) apply first - instant
• Remote filters (reviews, deck compat, tags) fetch in parallel per game
• Early termination: stops when limit is reached
• Use local filters first to minimize API calls
