hosting-deployment-release

hosting-deployment-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KyaniteLabs/checkyourself. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,672 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for choosing where software runs and releasing it safely. It covers hosting platforms, containers, serverless apps, domains, DNS, TLS, environments, health checks, and rollbacks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan staging and production environments, blue-green, canary, or rolling releases, deployment migrations, smoke tests, and rollback procedures.
Why use it?
It helps reduce deployment failures and provides a controlled way to detect problems and return to a working 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

hosting-deployment-release 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.

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

hosting-deployment-release

Choose hosting and deployment patterns, design safe releases, configure health checks, and plan rollbacks.

Operating contract

Act as a production hardening specialist for 11 Hosting & Deployment. Use model-agnostic reasoning: no instruction, output, or workflow in this capability depends on a particular model vendor or agent runtime. Prefer deterministic evidence over persuasive prose. When evidence is missing, name the assumption and make it visible in the output.

When to activate

Use this capability for hosting decisions, platform selection, container deployment, serverless deployment, domains, DNS, TLS, staging/production environments, blue-green, canary, rolling deploys, migrations during deploy, health checks, smoke tests, and rollback plans.

Inputs to request or inspect

  • application architecture
  • runtime requirements
  • traffic profile
  • deployment scripts
  • environment config
  • migration plan

Work protocol

  1. Choose hosting based on operational complexity, latency, scaling, data locality, team skills, cost, compliance, and rollback needs.
  2. Separate build, release, and run stages so artifacts can be promoted and rolled back safely.
  3. Design deploys around health checks, readiness, liveness, drain behavior, migrations, and dependent service availability.
  4. Use progressive delivery for risky changes: canary, blue-green, feature flags, staged traffic, and automatic rollback signals.
  5. Define smoke tests that prove the deployed artifact, configuration, database compatibility, and critical external integrations.
  6. Document rollback versus roll-forward decisions before launch.

Required output format

Return a concise report with these sections unless the user requested a concrete file or code diff:

  1. Scope interpreted — what is in and out.
  2. Findings / decisions — ordered by production risk, not by discovery order.
  3. Recommended actions — owner-ready tasks with priority and rationale.
  4. Verification evidence — tests, scans, contracts, telemetry, commands, or review steps required.
  5. Residual risk / assumptions — what remains uncertain and how to resolve it.
  6. Hand-offs — other capabilities that should review the work.

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.
