deploy

deploy is a skill for Claude Code from softspark/ai-toolkit. It costs 27 tokens per session (732 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A deployment procedure that checks an application before release, runs the deployment, and verifies the result afterward. It supports development, staging, and production environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare and deploy applications, check environment variables and secrets, confirm build and test artifacts, and verify a release.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of deploying with missing configuration, failed tests, incomplete build files, or an unsuitable Git branch. Health checks help confirm whether the deployed application is working.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 60
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/pre_deploy_check.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Application

$ARGUMENTS

Deploy application to target environment.

Project context

  • Docker config: !cat docker-compose.yml 2>/dev/null || cat Dockerfile 2>/dev/null || echo "no-docker"

Usage

/deploy [environment]

What This Command Does

  1. Validates deployment prerequisites
  2. Runs pre-deployment checks
  3. Executes deployment
  4. Verifies deployment success

Environments

Environment Description
dev Development environment
staging Staging/QA environment
prod Production environment

Pre-Deployment Checklist

Run automated pre-deployment checks:

python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/pre_deploy_check.py [environment]

Returns JSON with pass/fail for each check:

  • git_clean - no uncommitted changes
  • branch - on main/master for production
  • docker - services running (if applicable)
  • env_file - .env or .env.$ENV exists
  • build_artifacts - dist/build present
  • tests_ran - test result artifacts found

Manual verification:

  • Tests passing
  • Build successful
  • Environment variables set
  • Secrets configured
  • Database migrations ready
  • Rollback plan documented

Deployment Strategies

Strategy Use Case
Rolling Zero-downtime, gradual
Blue-Green Instant switch, easy rollback
Canary Risk mitigation, gradual traffic
Recreate Simple, allows downtime

Output Format

## Deployment Report

3. [Step 3] - Failed (if failed)

### Health Check
- [endpoint]: [status]

### Rollback
If needed: `[rollback command]`

PRODUCTION SAFETY

  • Always deploy to staging first
  • Verify health checks pass
  • Have rollback plan ready
  • Monitor after deployment

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.
