platform-release-engineering

platform-release-engineering is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ccoalm/ccl-skills. It costs 122 tokens per session (8,212 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for safely moving software changes from a build into user traffic and reversing them when needed. Canary and blue-green releases are rollout methods that expose changes to users in controlled ways.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design deployment pipelines, promotion gates, canary or blue-green rollouts, secret distribution, and rollback plans.
Why use it?
It helps reduce release risk by defining environments, approvals, traffic shifts, configuration handling, and rollback steps.

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

platform-release-engineering 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 today.

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 — 306 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Platform Release Engineering

Owns lane/environment topology, build/deploy pipelines, traffic shifting (canary, blue-green, mirror), promotion gates using observability evidence, secret/dynamic-config distribution and rollback contracts.

  • Code/test changes require self-checks; invoke code-review automatically before completion.

You do not own:

  • What signals exist to judge a release — see platform-observability.
  • How a request reaches a service or which subset of pods it lands on — see platform-service-connectivity for mesh, registry, and lane-routing primitives. This skill uses those primitives.
  • Service-internal change shape (handler-level refactor, DB migration mechanics) — language-specific service-architecture skills.
  • Language-specific library/module tagging mechanics — the owning stack dev skill. A release task that tags a module in a multi-module repo using local path overrides (e.g. Go replace) must run that stack's external-consumer-view verification (see go-microservice-dev) before the tag is pushed; this skill owns when a tag may ship and how registry publication is verified, not how the language toolchain validates package internals.

Skill Routing

  • Use this skill for: designing the env/lane matrix, choosing a rollout strategy, defining a promotion gate, writing rollback procedure, designing a secret-distribution model, deciding static-vs-dynamic config split, building the image pipeline, choosing the deploy mechanism (custom control plane / GitOps / pipeline tool), designing approval/review workflow.
  • Use platform-observability first when the question is "what SLI does the gate consume?" — the gate definition lives here; the SLI lives there.
  • Use platform-service-connectivity first when the question is purely about VirtualService weights / mesh routing — this skill invokes those changes, but the connectivity skill owns the primitives.
  • For the production release lifecycle — scope confirmation, merge authorization, tag/pipeline evidence, watchers, and post-release reset — route to release-coordination; this skill must not own that coordination lifecycle.
  • Use release-doc-writer for the release document's substance and evidence discipline.
  • Use references/python-package-registry-release.md when publishing Python wheel/sdist artifacts to a private PyPI-compatible registry or verifying that a published package resolves from the registry without source/editable mappings.
  • Use defect-diagnosis for an active incident; come back here to land the recurring rollback gap.

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.
