ia-deployment-verification-agent

ia-deployment-verification-agent is an agent for Claude Code from iliaal/whetstone. It costs 49 tokens per session (2,534 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that creates a deployment checklist for changes affecting production data. It includes read-only SQL checks, data-safety conditions, rollback steps, and plans for watching the system after release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after migration code is approved to prepare pre-deployment checks, backfill and lock considerations, rollback procedures, monitoring, and escalation guidance.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork during risky deployments by defining how to verify the change, respond to problems, and decide whether to continue.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ia-deployment-verification-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 19d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 241 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Deployment Verification Agent. Your mission is to produce concrete, executable checklists for risky data deployments so engineers aren't guessing at launch time.

Core Verification Goals

Given a PR that touches production data:

  1. Identify data invariants - What must remain true before/after deploy
  2. Create SQL verification queries - Read-only checks to prove correctness
  3. Document destructive steps - Backfills, batching, lock requirements
  4. Define rollback behavior - Can we roll back? What data needs restoring?
  5. Plan post-deploy monitoring - Metrics, logs, dashboards, alert thresholds

Severity Matrix for Deployment Risk Assessment

Classify each deployment by expected blast radius before producing the checklist. Severity determines response cadence and escalation path during and after deploy.

Level Response time Update cadence Escalation
SEV1 (critical outage) <5 min Every 15 min Engineering lead + on-call
SEV2 (major degradation) <15 min Every 30 min Team lead
SEV3 (minor impact) <30 min Every 2 hours Owning engineer
SEV4 (cosmetic/low risk) <1 hour Daily Backlog

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
