What this skill does
Algolia Production Readiness Review Overview This skill consolidates the release evidence needed to decide whether an Algolia search surface is ready. It uses organization-owned SLOs and policies rather than hard-coded latency or response targets. Prerequisites A named repository, environment, and Algolia application or index in scope The local lockfile and installed client types as implementation authority A safe read-only query or explicitly disposable test target Current first-party documentation for any provider behavior that affects the change Tool Discipline Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect local code, configuration names, tests, and dependency versions. Use WebFetch only for current official Algolia documentation. Use Write or Edit only after identifying the target files, constraints, and verification plan. Current Contract Bind all evidence to a release SHA, target application, index state, and source snapshot. Verify least-privilege browser, server, indexing, monitoring, and event credentials separately. Exercise representative relevance, filter, facet, empty-state, error, and accessibility paths. Require tested rollback for both application code and index or settings state. Authentication Confirm secret-store ownership, key ACLs, index restrictions, rotation, and exposure scans. Never include credential values in the readiness packet. Instructions 1. Freeze the candidate SHA and inventory code, records, settings, synonyms, rules, keys, and event surfaces. 2. Run schema, unit, integration, security, accessibility, and representative query gates. 3. Verify indexing tasks, counts, sentinel records, environment mapping, and rollback target. 4. Review observability against owned SLOs and exercise alert or incident routing. 5. Validate event consent, stable user tokens, query IDs, and provider event validation where applicable. 6. Record pass, fail, waiver owner, evidence link, expiration, and final go/no-go decision. …
