SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams shipping releases often forget critical verification steps, leading to failed deployments, untested database migrations, or missing rollback plans. This Skill produces a structured pre-deployment checklist so nothing is overlooked before going to production. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Checklist Generation: Produces pre-deploy, deploy, and post-deploy sections covering CI status, code review, smoke tests, and monitoring. - Rollback Planning: Defines rollback triggers such as error rate and latency thresholds before the deploy happens. - Context-Aware Customization: Adapts the checklist for feature flags, database migrations, or breaking API changes, and can pull PR, CI/CD, and monitoring data when connectors are available. - Use Case: Before shipping a release that includes a database migration, run the checklist to confirm migrations are tested, the pipeline is green, the on-call team is notified, and rollback criteria are documented. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the deploy-checklist for your service or release name to generate a customized pre-deployment verification checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions about deploy-checklist

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a pre-deployment checklist before a release?▼

Run the deploy-checklist with your service or release name to generate a structured checklist covering pre-deploy, deploy, and post-deploy steps. It includes CI verification, code review confirmation, smoke tests, and rollback triggers.

What should a deployment checklist include for database migrations?▼

A deployment checklist with migrations should verify migrations are tested, confirm the rollback plan covers schema changes, and add migration-specific checks. Tell the checklist your release includes a migration and it adds those steps automatically.

Can the deploy checklist check CI/CD pipeline status automatically?▼

Yes, when a CI/CD connector is available, the checklist can check build and test status and verify the pipeline is green before deploy. Without connectors, it lists these as manual verification items.

How do I define rollback triggers before deploying?▼

Define rollback triggers as measurable thresholds such as error rate exceeding a percentage, P50 latency exceeding a millisecond target, or a critical user flow failing. The checklist includes a dedicated rollback triggers section to document these before deploying.

Does the checklist support feature flag verification?▼

Yes, mention that your deploy uses feature flags and the checklist adds flag verification steps. The base template already includes a feature flags configuration item in the pre-deploy section.
