What problem does it solve? Deploying to production without a structured process leads to broken releases, undetected errors, and no way to recover when things go wrong. This Skill provides a repeatable launch workflow so every deployment is reversible, observable, and incremental. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pre-Launch Checklist: Covers code quality, security, performance, accessibility, infrastructure, and documentation gates that must pass before any deploy. - Feature Flags and Staged Rollouts: Decouples deployment from release with a flag lifecycle and a canary sequence (5% → 25% → 50% → 100%) governed by explicit advance/hold/rollback thresholds for error rate, latency, and business metrics. - Monitoring and Rollback Strategy: Defines what to monitor (application, infrastructure, client metrics), post-launch verification steps, and a documented rollback plan with trigger conditions and time-to-rollback targets. - Use Case: Before releasing a new task-sharing feature, run the checklist, deploy behind a feature flag, enable it for the internal team, then canary to 5% of users while watching error rates against baseline before full rollout. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to prepare a production launch plan with a pre-launch checklist, staged rollout, and rollback strategy for your upcoming release.
