deploying-safely

deploying-safely is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from New1Direction/korgex. It costs 20 tokens per session (335 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for releasing software to production with staged rollouts, health checks, and a prepared rollback. Production is the live environment used by real users.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy tested builds, release through canary or blue-green stages, monitor errors and latency, use feature flags, and restore the previous version quickly.
Why use it?
A release can affect users and may be difficult to undo. Gradual rollout and monitoring limit the impact when the new version behaves badly.

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

deploying-safely 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

A deploy is an outward-facing, hard-to-undo action. The goal is to ship often AND make a bad release boring to recover from. Confirm before deploying unless the user has clearly authorized it.

  1. Ship the tested artifact. Deploy the exact build CI verified — don't rebuild or hand-tweak on the way out.
  2. Roll out gradually. Prefer canary / staged / blue-green over flipping 100% at once. Watch the new version's health (errors, latency) before widening.
  3. Have a rollback ready BEFORE you ship. Know the one command/step to revert, and that the previous version still works. Rollback should be faster than forward-fix.
  4. Decouple deploy from release. Use feature flags so you can deploy code dark and turn behaviour on/off without a redeploy — and kill it instantly if it misbehaves.
  5. Backwards-compatible steps. Don't ship a code change that requires a not-yet-run migration, or drop something the old version still uses (see database-migrations' expand/contract).
  6. Verify after. Check health/metrics post-deploy; don't declare success on "it deployed" — declare it on "it's serving correctly" (see verify-before-done).
  7. If anything looks wrong, roll back first, diagnose second (see incident-response).

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.
