deployment-automation

deployment-automation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 32 tokens per session (594 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of deployment practices for moving applications between development, staging, and production. It covers Kubernetes packaging with Helm, infrastructure setup with Terraform, and delivery management with ArgoCD.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps set up continuous deployment, promote changes across environments, provision infrastructure, run blue-green or canary releases, and automate rollbacks.
Why use it?
It reduces manual deployment work and the risk of releasing an application incorrectly. It also provides ways to release changes gradually and return to an earlier version when needed.

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

deployment-automation 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-config.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Deployment Automation

Table of Contents

Overview

Establish automated deployment pipelines that safely and reliably move applications across development, staging, and production environments with minimal manual intervention and risk.

When to Use

  • Continuous deployment to Kubernetes
  • Infrastructure as Code deployment
  • Multi-environment promotion
  • Blue-green deployment strategies
  • Canary release management
  • Infrastructure provisioning
  • Automated rollback procedures

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# helm/Chart.yaml
apiVersion: v2
name: myapp
description: My awesome application
type: application
version: 1.0.0

# helm/values.yaml
replicaCount: 3
image:
  repository: ghcr.io/myorg/myapp
  pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
  tag: "1.0.0"
service:
  type: ClusterIP
  port: 80
  targetPort: 3000
resources:
  requests:
    memory: "256Mi"
    cpu: "250m"
  limits:
    memory: "512Mi"
    cpu: "500m"
autoscaling:
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Use Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Helm)
  • Implement GitOps workflows
  • Use blue-green deployments
  • Implement canary releases
  • Automate rollback procedures
  • Test deployments in staging first
  • Use feature flags for gradual rollout
  • Monitor deployment health
  • Document deployment procedures
  • Implement approval gates for production
  • Version infrastructure code
  • Use environment parity

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
