A deployment runbook is a written procedure for releasing a service safely. It includes preparation, deployment, checks, and recovery instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for documenting prerequisites, pre-deployment checks, release steps, verification, and rollback procedures.
Why use it?
It lets someone deploy under pressure without relying on undocumented knowledge or asking the usual operator for help.

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

deployment-runbook 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 11d 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-runbook

A deployment runbook is a procedure someone can follow to ship a service safely without already knowing how it works. The test of a good runbook: hand it to a person who has never deployed this service, and they succeed — or fail safely and recover — without asking anyone.

Deploys go wrong precisely when the conditions are worst: late, under pressure, done by whoever is available. A runbook is the artifact that makes the procedure independent of who is running it and how stressed they are.

Use this skill when

  • A service is deployed by hand, or by a procedure that lives only in one person's head.
  • An existing runbook exists but people still have to ask questions to use it.
  • You are setting up a new service and want the deploy procedure written down before the first 2am incident.

Structure

A runbook has six sections, in this order:

  1. Prerequisites — what must be true before you start: access and credentials needed, tools that must be installed, the branch/artifact/version being deployed. If a prerequisite is missing, the operator finds out here, not three steps in.
  2. Pre-flight checks — quick checks that this is a safe moment to deploy: is the target healthy now, is there a freeze in effect, is the change actually the one intended. Each check has a clear pass/fail.
  3. Deploy steps — the numbered procedure. See the rule below.
  4. Verification — how to know the deploy worked. Objective, not "looks fine".
  5. Rollback — how to undo it. See the rule below.
  6. Post-deploy — anything to do after success: announce, close the ticket, re-enable something that was paused, watch a dashboard for N minutes.

The rule for deploy steps

Every step is three things: the exact command, the expected result, and what to do if it does not happen.

3. Apply the database migration:
   `./manage.py migrate`
   Expected: ends with "Applying <name>... OK", exit code 0.
   If it fails: do NOT proceed to step 4. The schema is now partially
   applied — go to Rollback step R2 before retrying.

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.
