What problem does it solve? Shipping code to production is risky when releases lack traceable versions, verified health checks, or a way back when something breaks. This Skill structures the deployment phase so every release is tagged, smoke-tested against the live target, and paired with a ready rollback path. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Release Loop: Confirms green builds for the exact commit, tags the version, rolls out (preferring staged or canary releases), and runs smoke checks against the live system. - Rollback-First Discipline: Defines the down path (previous version, feature flag, or revert) before pushing the up path, and rolls back instead of debugging in production. - Config and Secrets Safety: Verifies environment config is correct for the target and keeps secrets out of artifacts, logs, and version control. - Use Case: After tests pass on a release candidate, use this Skill to tag v1.4.2, canary-deploy to production, run an end-to-end smoke probe, and record the exact rollback command in case the check fails. ## Quick Start Use the deployment skill to release the tested build to production with a version tag, smoke check, and rollback plan.
