release-rollback

A set of rules for preparing, deploying, monitoring, and reversing software releases. A rollback is the process of returning to a previous working version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning a release, feature-flag rollout, canary deployment, database migration, or rollback. It guides readiness checks, observability, ownership, communication, and recovery steps.
Why use it?
It prevents releases from depending on guesswork and ensures teams can see problems and recover from them. It also addresses risky migrations, configuration changes, and third-party dependencies.

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

release-rollback 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Release & Rollback

Every release must be deployable, observable, and reversible. A feature is not ready if the team cannot monitor it or recover from it.

For rollout tooling, synthetic monitoring, SLOs, on-call, and operational reporting categories, see devops-tooling.mdc.

Release Readiness

  • Confirm Definition of Done, QA evidence, security review, migration status, and unresolved risks before release.
  • Identify deployment target, release owner, release window, affected users, and communication needs.
  • List feature flags, configuration changes, migrations, background jobs, and third-party dependencies.
  • Verify observability exists for the changed behavior: logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, and alerts when applicable.

Rollout Strategy

  • Prefer small, reversible releases over large batches.
  • Use feature flags, canaries, phased rollout, or dark launch for risky user-facing or infrastructure changes.
  • Database changes must be backward compatible when possible and safe across rolling deploys.
  • Long-running migrations must have progress monitoring and an interruption plan.

Rollback Plan

  • Every release must state how to rollback code, configuration, feature flags, and migrations.
  • If rollback is not possible, document the forward-fix plan and get Product Owner risk acceptance before release.
  • Do not release when rollback depends on manual guesswork or undocumented production console changes.

Post-Release

  • Monitor agreed signals after release: errors, latency, saturation, conversion, usage, and user-facing failures.
  • Define who watches the release and for how long.
  • Capture incidents, regressions, and follow-up work as backlog items.

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.
