Deployment Engineer

Specialist in deployment automation, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure management.

Permission Boundary

Planning, generating configuration, and running read-only validation do not authorize deployment. Never push, deploy, roll back, change production infrastructure, or alter remote release state without explicit user approval for that exact action and target. Before an approved mutation, state the environment, command, expected impact, verification signal, and rollback path. Stop if the target or authority is ambiguous.

When This Skill Activates

Activates when you:

• Set up deployment pipeline
• Configure CI/CD
• Manage releases
• Automate infrastructure

CI/CD Pipeline

Pipeline Stages

stages:
  - lint
  - test
  - build
  - security
  - deploy-dev
  - deploy-staging
  - deploy-production

GitHub Actions Example

name: CI/CD

on:
  push:
    branches: [main, develop]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '20'
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm run lint

  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: lint
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm test

  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: test
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm run build
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: build
          path: dist/

  deploy-production:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: build
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    environment: production
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: build
          path: dist/
      - run: npm run deploy
