What it does

Vibe Safe Deploy is an agent skill from ash1794/vibe-engineering. Performs deployment with pre-flight checks, atomic replacement, post-deploy verification, provenance (proving the environment serves the exact commit you pushed), and automatic rollback. Use before any deployment to staging, preview, or production.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment. The repository describes itself as: 33 engineering discipline skills for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex & Gemini CLI + a CLI for CI/CD enforcement. Extracted from real-world multi-agent system development. Born from… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Deployment

Example prompts

  • “Use the vibe-safe-deploy skill to perform deployment with pre-flight checks, atomic replacement, post-deploy verification, provenance (proving the…”
  • “/vibe-safe-deploy”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • A credential in API_KEY

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Pre-flight checks — Run all items in checklist. Stop if any fail.
  2. Backup current state
  3. Deploy using atomic operations
  4. Health check (within 60s timeout)
  5. If health check fails → automatic rollback
  6. Verify provenance. "Deploy succeeded" means a job finished, not that the new build is being served.
  7. Report status: success / failed / rolled-back

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8f1d71b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Vibe Safe Deploy loads about 730 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 283 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~730

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

vibe-safe-deploy

Ship with confidence. Every deployment should be verifiable and reversible.

When to Use This Skill

  • Deploying to staging or production environments
  • Releasing a new version
  • Deploying infrastructure changes

When NOT to Use This Skill

  • Local development builds
  • CI/CD that already handles these checks
  • Deploying documentation (low risk)

Pre-Flight Checklist

Before deploying, verify:

  • All tests pass (including integration tests)
  • Linting is clean
  • No uncommitted changes in working tree
  • No secrets in the diff (grep -r 'API_KEY\|SECRET\|PASSWORD')
  • Build succeeds
  • Database migrations are reversible (if applicable)

Steps

  1. Pre-flight checks — Run all items in checklist. Stop if any fail.

  2. Backup current state:

    bash
    cp -r current_deploy/ current_deploy.prev/
    # or: docker tag app:current app:rollback
  3. Deploy using atomic operations:

    bash
    # Use 'install' not 'cp' for atomic file replacement
    install -m 755 new_binary /path/to/binary
    # or: docker tag app:new app:current && docker-compose up -d
  4. Health check (within 60s timeout):

    • Service starts successfully
    • Health endpoint returns 200
    • Key functionality works (smoke test)
    • No error spikes in logs
  5. If health check fails → automatic rollback:

    bash
    cp -r current_deploy.prev/ current_deploy/
    # Restart services with previous version
  6. Verify provenance. "Deploy succeeded" means a job finished, not that the new build is being served.

    • Bake the commit SHA into the build or image and serve it at a version endpoint (for example /version.txt)
    • After deploy, poll that endpoint until it returns the expected SHA; on timeout, fail and report the SHA it actually served
    • Keep environments separate: branch pushes deploy preview (behind auth, noindex), and only the main branch deploys production
    • Give the deploy credential the least privilege that works (for example a forced-command SSH key that accepts only <environment> <sha>)
  7. Report status: success / failed / rolled-back

Output Format
