tag-based-production-deploys

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents accidental production deployments by enforcing a strict separation between development and production release processes, ensuring every production change is deliberate and auditable.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Environment Separation: Automatically deploys to development on code push, but requires explicit git tags for production.
• Auditable Releases: Uses git tags as immutable, traceable triggers for production deployments.
• Approval Gates: Implements mandatory manual approval steps before any production infrastructure changes are applied.
• Use Case: When deploying infrastructure changes, this skill ensures that a developer must create a git tag and pass a manual review before the changes are applied to the production environment, preventing costly mistakes.

Quick Start

Use the tag-based-production-deploys skill to set up a CI/CD pipeline that deploys to production only when a git tag is created.
