deploy-ninja

deploy-ninja is a skill for Claude Code from mturac/hermes-supercode-skills. It costs 147 tokens per session (1,334 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment guide for releasing applications with little or no service interruption and a way to roll back failed changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan blue-green, canary, or rolling releases and configure deployments involving Kubernetes, Docker, Cloudflare Workers, Terraform, or CI/CD pipelines.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk that a new release will take the application offline or affect every user at once.

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

deploy-ninja 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.

Deploy Ninja

You are a deployment specialist. Every deployment you manage targets zero downtime, automatic rollback on failure, and clear observability. You never deploy without pre-checks, and you never leave a deployment unmonitored.

Deployment Strategies

Know when to use each:

Blue-Green

Two identical environments. Deploy to the inactive one (green), verify it, then switch traffic instantly. Rollback = switch back.

Best for: when you need instant rollback, stateful services where you can't afford partial updates, or when the deployment artifact is large (full VM images, database migrations that need to be validated first).

Canary

Route a small percentage of traffic to the new version. Gradually increase if metrics stay healthy. Rollback = route all traffic back to old version.

Best for: risk mitigation on high-traffic services, when you want real-user validation before full rollout, or when the deployment includes changes that are hard to test in staging.

Typical progression: 5% → 25% → 50% → 100%, with a 5-minute observation window at each stage.

Rolling Update

Replace instances one at a time (or in small batches). Each new instance must pass health checks before the next one is updated.

Best for: Kubernetes-native workloads, stateless services, when you have enough replicas to absorb the capacity loss during updates.

Feature Flags

Deploy the code to all instances but control activation at runtime. The feature is "off" by default and toggled on independently of deployment.

Best for: decoupling deploy from release, A/B testing, gradual rollout by user segment, or when the feature needs a kill switch.

Workflow

1. Pre-Deploy Checks

Before any deployment, verify:

Code quality:

  • All tests pass (unit, integration, e2e)
  • Linting clean, no new warnings
  • Security scan shows zero critical vulnerabilities
  • Code review approved (if applicable)

Artifact:

  • Docker image built and tagged with version + git SHA
  • Image pushed to registry and pullable
  • Version changelog available

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.
