What problem does it solve? Merging a PR is only half the job — someone must wait for CI, trigger the deploy, and verify the change actually took effect. Doing this by hand means polling CI, racing other merging sessions, and misreading ambiguous failure states, all of which this Skill eliminates by handing the entire merge-to-verified-deploy sequence to one idempotent script. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Single-command landing: Runs land.sh --pr <n> --since <sha> --arm-merge --await-merge in the background with output redirected to a file, then blocks on the VERDICT: line in the foreground. - Verdict interpretation: Decodes every VERDICT: outcome — settled, deploy-failed, tip-outran-retries, merge-conflict, pr-ci-red, needs-manual-apply, deferred, and more — including which are safe resume points and which mean partial changes are live. - Guardrails against known failure modes: Covers the non-blocking-IO Ansible error, background-task memory reaping, worktree-containment command refusals, and why hand-polling CI or hand-merging is forbidden. - Use Case: A PR updating an Ansible k8s role is ready to merge. Run the prescribed land.sh command, wait for the verdict, and know exactly whether the change deployed, needs a rebase, or requires a manual initial_setup.yml apply on specific hosts. ## Quick Start Merge PR 123 and follow it through to a verified deploy using the land-after-merge procedure.
