What problem does it solve? Deploying to production without a structured process leads to broken releases, undetected errors, and no way to recover quickly. This Skill provides a disciplined launch workflow covering readiness checks, feature flags, staged rollouts, monitoring, and rollback planning. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pre-Launch Checklist: Covers code quality, security, performance, accessibility, infrastructure, and documentation gates before any deploy. - Feature Flag Strategy: Decouples deployment from release with a defined flag lifecycle, ownership rules, and cleanup deadlines. - Staged Rollout with Thresholds: Defines a canary sequence (5% → 25% → 50% → 100%) with explicit advance/hold/rollback metrics for error rate, latency, and business KPIs. - Monitoring and Rollback Plans: Specifies what to monitor post-launch and provides a rollback plan template with trigger conditions and time-to-recovery targets. - Use Case: Before releasing a new task-sharing feature, use this Skill to verify the checklist, deploy behind a flag, canary to 5% of users, and roll back instantly if error rates double. ## Quick Start Use the shipping-and-launch skill to prepare a pre-launch checklist and staged rollout plan for my upcoming production deployment.
