What This Skill Does

This skill generates a pre-deployment checklist to ensure readiness before deploying software. It covers pre-deploy, deploy, and post-deploy steps, including tests, code review, and monitoring. It's useful for development and operations teams to minimize deployment risks and ensure smooth releases.

When to Use

  • Prepare for a software deployment.
  • Verify all necessary steps are completed.
  • Customize checklist based on deployment type.
  • Ensure rollback plan is documented.
  • Monitor error rates and latency after deployment.
  • Notify stakeholders after successful deployment.

Key Features

  • Generates a customizable deployment checklist.
  • Includes pre-deploy, deploy, and post-deploy sections.
  • Integrates with source control to verify PRs.
  • Connects to CI/CD to check build status.
  • Uses monitoring to pre-fill rollback triggers.
  • Remembers customizations for future use.

Usage

/deploy-checklist $ARGUMENTS

Output

Deploy Checklist: [Service/Release]

Date: [Date] | Deployer: [Name]

Pre-Deploy

[ ] All tests passing in CI [ ] Code reviewed and approved [ ] No known critical bugs in release [ ] Database migrations tested (if applicable) [ ] Feature flags configured (if applicable) [ ] Rollback plan documented [ ] On-call team notified

Deploy

[ ] Deploy to staging and verify [ ] Run smoke tests [ ] Deploy to production (canary if available) [ ] Monitor error rates and latency for 15 min [ ] Verify key user flows

Post-Deploy

[ ] Confirm metrics are nominal [ ] Update release notes / changelog [ ] Notify stakeholders [ ] Close related tickets

Rollback Triggers

Error rate exceeds [X]% P50 latency exceeds [X]ms [Critical user flow] fails

Customization

Tell me about your deploy and I'll customize the checklist: "We use feature flags" → adds flag verification steps "This includes a database migration" → adds migration-specific checks "This is a breaking API change" → adds consumer notification steps

If Connectors Available

If ~~source control is connected: Pull the release diff and list of changes Verify all PRs are approved and merged

If ~~CI/CD is connected: Check build and test status automatically Verify pipeline is green before deploy

If ~~monitoring is connected: Pre-fill rollback trigger thresholds from current baselines Set up post-deploy metric watch

Tips

  • Run before every deploy — Even routine ones.
  • Checklists prevent "I forgot to...".

Customize once, reuse — Tell me your stack and I'll remember your deploy process. Include rollback criteria — Decide when to roll back before you deploy, not during./deploy-checklist
