nw-deployment-strategies

nw-deployment-strategies is a skill for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 57 tokens per session (564 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for planning safe software deployments, including risk checks, validation before and after release, monitoring, and rollback procedures. Rollback means returning an application, configuration, traffic, or data to a known earlier state when a release causes problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create deployment checklists, test database migration reversals, prepare health checks and alerts, and define automatic or manual rollback triggers.
Why use it?
It helps teams prepare for failed or harmful releases before they happen. The emphasis on tested rollback paths reduces uncertainty during incidents and partial failures.

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

nw-deployment-strategies 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 7d 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.

Deployment Strategies — Rollback, Risk, and Validation

For deployment strategy patterns (canary, blue-green, rolling, progressive delivery), see cicd-and-deployment skill. This skill focuses on operational concerns: validation, rollback, risk, and post-deployment.

Pre-Deployment Validation

Before any deployment, validate:

  • Deployment scripts tested in staging | Database migrations tested with rollback scripts
  • Configuration management consistent across environments | Health checks and service discovery configured
  • Monitoring and alerting systems prepared | Backup and disaster recovery procedures validated

Rollback Procedures

Design Rollback First

Every deployment plan starts with the rollback section:

  1. Database rollback: migration revert scripts tested and verified
  2. Application rollback: previous version tagged and deployable
  3. Configuration rollback: previous config snapshots available
  4. Traffic rollback: load balancer / feature flag kill switch ready
  5. Data rollback: data consistency plan for partial rollback scenarios

Automated Rollback Triggers

Configure automatic rollback when:

  • Error rate exceeds baseline by >2x | P95 latency exceeds SLA threshold
  • Health check failures exceed threshold (e.g., 3 consecutive) | Business metric anomaly detected (e.g., conversion drop >10%)

Manual Rollback Decision Criteria

Stakeholder-reported functional issues | Security vulnerability discovered post-deploy | Data integrity concerns | Performance degradation below acceptable levels.

Risk Assessment

Technical Risks

Integration failure with downstream services | Performance degradation under production load | Data migration integrity issues | Security vulnerabilities introduced.

Business Risks

User adoption challenges | Business process disruption | Stakeholder expectation misalignment.

Operational Risks

Infrastructure capacity limitations | Third-party dependency failures | Team availability for 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.
