production-deployment

production-deployment is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DevelopersGlobal/ai-agent-skills. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,081 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist and process for releasing software to a live production environment. It covers pre-release checks, staged rollouts, and a tested rollback plan for returning to the previous version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before production deployments, when reviewing deployment or CI/CD scripts, and when adding services or infrastructure changes.
Why use it?
It reduces outages and data problems by requiring teams to prepare for failure before users are affected.

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

production-deployment 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 8d 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 — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Production is not a test environment. Every deployment is a live operation with real consequences — user impact, data integrity risks, and potential outages. This skill encodes the discipline senior engineers apply before, during, and after every production deployment.

The core rule: never deploy without a rollback plan you've verified can execute in under 5 minutes.

When to Use

  • Before any deployment to a production or production-equivalent environment
  • When reviewing deployment scripts or CI/CD pipelines
  • When adding new services or infrastructure changes

Process

Step 1: Pre-Deployment Checklist

  1. All tests pass — CI is green on the exact commit being deployed. Not "mostly green."
  2. Migrations are backward-compatible — The old code must work with the new schema (for zero-downtime). New columns are nullable; columns aren't dropped until after full rollout.
  3. Feature flags configured — New features are behind flags, off by default.
  4. Rollback plan written — Document exactly how to rollback: which commands, which configs, estimated time.
  5. Deployment window confirmed — Low-traffic period? On-call engineer available?
  6. Stakeholders notified — Anyone affected by downtime or behavior change knows.

Verify: All 6 checklist items confirmed. Do not proceed if any is blocked.

Step 2: Staged Rollout

  1. Never deploy to 100% of traffic immediately. Use a staged rollout:
    • Canary: 1–5% of traffic
    • Staged: 10% → 25% → 50% → 100%
  2. Monitor key metrics at each stage for at least 15 minutes before expanding:
    • Error rate (baseline vs. current)
    • Latency p50, p95, p99
    • Business metrics (conversion, orders, etc.)
  3. Define your abort threshold before starting: "If error rate exceeds X% or latency p99 exceeds Y ms, rollback immediately."

Verify: Rollout stages and abort thresholds are documented before deployment begins.

Step 3: Deploy

  1. Execute the deployment using your CI/CD pipeline (not manual commands).
  2. Monitor dashboards in real-time during the rollout.
  3. Keep communication channel open with on-call engineer.
  4. Do not perform any other changes during a deployment (no "quick fixes").

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.
