deploy-checklist
Pre-deployment verification checklist. Use when about to ship a release, deploying a change with database migrations or feature flags, verifying CI status and approvals before going to production, or documenting rollback triggers ahead of time.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a structured pre-deployment verification process that ensures readiness and reduces deployment risks, which the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
/deploy-checklist If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md. Generate a pre-deployment checklist to verify readiness before shipping. Usage Output 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 1. Run before every deploy — Even routine ones. Checklists prevent "I forgot to..." 2. Customize once, reuse — Tell me your stack and I'll remember your deploy process. 3. Include rollback criteria — Decide when to roll back before you deploy, not during.
