checking-deploy-timing

checking-deploy-timing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PostHog/posthog-foss. It costs 128 tokens per session (895 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for finding when a PostHog code change reached an environment. It matches the change's merge commit with deployment records for environments such as US or EU production.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking whether a pull request or fix is live, and when it reached a specific deployment environment.
Why use it?
It avoids treating a change in data as proof that a code change was deployed.

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

checking-deploy-timing 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 — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Checking when something was deployed

PostHog's CI writes a deploy marker into the project as an annotation every time a commit ships to an environment. These annotations are hidden_in_user_interface: true, so they don't show in the UI and are easy to forget — but they are the source of truth for "when did this go out". Always check them when staff ask about deploy timing, rather than inferring from when a metric or event volume changed (that conflates a capture change with a query/code change).

The deploy annotations

List them with posthog:annotations-list using {"search": "deploy"}. Each deploy marker looks like:

  • content: Deployed PostHog/posthog@<sha> to <env> — env is prod-us, prod-eu, or dev
  • creation_type: GIT
  • scope: organization
  • hidden_in_user_interface: true
  • date_marker: the deploy time (UTC)

They're returned newest-first; paginate with offset if you need to go further back.

Workflow

  1. Find the change's merge commit. Identify the PR (e.g. gh search prs --repo PostHog/posthog --author <user> "<keywords>"), then gh pr view <n> --repo PostHog/posthog --json number,title,mergedAt,mergeCommit,state. Note the merge commit SHA and mergedAt.

  2. List the target environment's deploys around the merge, oldest-first. Match the region the user asked about (prod-us for "the US", prod-eu for "the EU"). The annotations come back newest-first, so don't just take the first ... to <env> match on page 1 — that's the most recent deploy. Paginate (with offset) until you reach markers around mergedAt, then consider that environment's deploys in chronological order, starting with the first whose date_marker is after mergedAt. Check them earliest-first in step 3.

  3. Confirm the deployed commit actually contains the merge commit. A later date_marker is necessary but not sufficient — a deploy can fire just after the merge yet build a slightly older commit. Verify ancestry:

    gh api repos/PostHog/posthog/compare/<merge_sha>...<deployed_sha> --jq '{status,ahead_by,behind_by}'

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.
