1	# Deploy Checklist Skill
2
3	## Trigger
4
5	Load this skill when a dev is about to deploy or has just deployed:
6	- "We're deploying to production"
7	- "Pre-deploy check"
8	- "Post-deploy verification"
9	- "Run the deploy checklist"
10	- "Is it safe to deploy?"
11
12	Do NOT use this skill for: committing code (use `git-os`), creating a PR (use `pr-create`), or planning a project (use `greenfield`). This skill only applies at the deployment stage — code is already merged.
13
14	---
15
16	Run this checklist before and after every production deployment.
17
18	## Pre-Deploy Checklist
19
20	- [ ] All CI checks green on the deploy branch
21	- [ ] Environment variables verified in target environment (no missing keys)
22	- [ ] Database migrations reviewed — irreversible migrations documented
23	- [ ] Migrations have been dry-run or tested in staging
24	- [ ] Rollback plan documented: what to revert and how
25	- [ ] Feature flags set correctly for the release
26	- [ ] Downstream services notified if API contracts changed
27	- [ ] Changelog updated with this release's changes
28	- [ ] Deployment window confirmed (avoid peak traffic)
29
30	## Deploy
31
32	- [ ] Deploy initiated with correct branch / tag
33	- [ ] Deployment logs monitored in real time
34	- [ ] No unexpected errors during startup
35
36	## Post-Deploy Checklist
37
38	- [ ] Smoke test: critical user flows verified manually or via synthetic monitoring
39	- [ ] Health check endpoint returns 200
40	- [ ] Error rate in monitoring (Datadog, Grafana, Sentry) is normal
41	- [ ] No spike in latency or DB query time
42	- [ ] Monitoring alerts reviewed — no new alerts triggered
43	- [ ] Changelog published / communicated to stakeholders
44	- [ ] Ticket status updated (closed / released)
45
46	## Rollback Trigger Criteria
47
48	Initiate rollback immediately if:
49	- Error rate rises above 1% of requests
50	- P95 latency increases by more than 2x baseline
51	- Any data integrity issue detected
52	- Critical feature path returns 5xx
53
54	## Tools
55
56	\| Action \| Tool \|
57	\|--------\|------\|
58	\| Run lint, test, build scripts \| `Bash` \|
59	\| Check health endpoint \| `Bash` — `curl -s <url>/health` \|
60	\| Read config or env files \| `Read` \|
61	\| Check CI status \| `Bash` — `gh run list` or `gh pr checks` \|
62
63	## Notes
64
65	- Never deploy on Fridays unless it's a critical hotfix
66	- Always have a second engineer available during production deploys
67	- Document the actual deploy time and outcome in the ticket
