build-orchestrator

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating production releases involves many manual validation steps, fragile build and deployment commands, and time-sensitive monitoring; this Skill automates and enforces a guarded five-phase pipeline to reduce human error and accelerate safe releases.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Phased Orchestration: Sequential PREFLIGHT, BUILD, DEPLOY, VERIFY, and MONITOR phases that halt on failure and log detailed diagnostics.
• Preflight Validation: Environment variable checks, dependency install verification, Prisma client generation, and TypeScript type validation before any build runs.
• Deployment & Rollback: Pushes to Vercel production, captures deployment IDs and URLs, verifies "Ready" status, and provides a rollback protocol when needed.
• Smoke Tests & Monitoring: Health endpoint checks, critical endpoint smoke tests, response-time thresholds, SSL checks, and a 15-minute post-deploy monitoring window with error-rate and p95 latency gates.
• Use Case: Use during any Synthex production release to ensure predictable builds, catch type or config errors early, validate runtime health, and automatically decide rollback on critical regressions.

Quick Start

Run the build-orchestrator to validate environment variables, build the app, deploy to Vercel, run smoke tests, and monitor for 15 minutes.
