sandbox-to-production-gates

sandbox-to-production-gates is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from joelbrilliant/agentic-delivery-skills. It costs 49 tokens per session (679 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of checks for moving software from a test environment into production, the live environment used by real users.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture the source commit, build results, deployment details, runtime checks, smoke tests, and rollback readiness.
Why use it?
It helps prove that the reviewed source code, built files, deployed service, and running system are the same version.

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

sandbox-to-production-gates 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.

Sandbox to Production Gates

Overview

Use this skill when an agent wants to move work from local or sandbox into production.

The goal is simple: prove that the reviewed source, built artefact, deployed service, and live runtime are the same thing.

Green tests are not a deployment. A restart is not a deployment. A deployed bundle without smoke evidence is not a deployment.

When to Use

  • Promoting sandbox work to production.
  • Restarting services after config or code changes.
  • Verifying a deployed UI/API after build.
  • Checking whether production is running the expected commit.
  • Preparing rollback before risky changes.
  • Reporting production status to a user.

Promotion Gates

Gate 1: Source truth

Capture:

  • repo path;
  • branch;
  • commit SHA;
  • dirty state;
  • reviewed diff surface;
  • exact files intentionally included.

If there is unrelated dirty work, do not stage it. Isolate the promotion.

Gate 2: Build truth

Run the real build command for the promoted surface.

Capture:

  • command;
  • exit code;
  • artefact path or bundle name;
  • build timestamp or hash when available.

Do not claim a build passed because a dev server still runs.

Gate 3: Service truth

Identify the actual runtime service:

  • service name;
  • port;
  • process ID;
  • environment file;
  • working directory;
  • last restart time.

Restart only the intended service. Never restart a neighbouring prod service by matching a vague process name.

Gate 4: Runtime truth

Smoke the live runtime, not localhost in the wrong mode.

Check:

  • health endpoint;
  • authenticated endpoint if auth exists;
  • gateway/worker connectivity if relevant;
  • static asset or API version;
  • key user workflow;
  • logs after startup.

If a public CDN or proxy blocks automation, smoke the backend with the correct Host header and say that is what you did.

Gate 5: Rollback truth

Before promotion, know the rollback:

  • previous commit;
  • previous build artefact if retained;
  • command to restart old version;
  • config backup location;
  • data migration reversibility.

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.

sandbox-to-production-gates is a skill published in the GitHub repository joelbrilliant/agentic-delivery-skills (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 679 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 2026-08-31.
