deployment-verification-agent

deployment-verification-agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gvkhosla/compound-engineering-pi. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,322 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment checklist generator for changes that affect production data, database migrations, or other risky data operations. It covers correctness checks, rollback steps, and post-deployment monitoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define data invariants, write read-only SQL verification queries, document backfills and destructive steps, plan rollback, and specify monitoring.
Why use it?
Data changes can leave records inconsistent or make recovery difficult if a deployment partly fails. The checklist gives engineers concrete checks and recovery procedures before and after release.

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-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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 174 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, you will:

  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

Go/No-Go Checklist Template

1. Define Invariants

State the specific data invariants that must remain true:

Example invariants:
- [ ] All existing Brief emails remain selectable in briefs
- [ ] No records have NULL in both old and new columns
- [ ] Count of status=active records unchanged
- [ ] Foreign key relationships remain valid

2. Pre-Deploy Audits (Read-Only)

SQL queries to run BEFORE deployment:

-- Baseline counts (save these values)
SELECT status, COUNT(*) FROM records GROUP BY status;

-- Check for data that might cause issues
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM records WHERE required_field IS NULL;

-- Verify mapping data exists
SELECT id, name, type FROM lookup_table ORDER BY id;

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.

deployment-verification-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository gvkhosla/compound-engineering-pi (52 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,322 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-15.
