Deployment SOP Checklist

About this skill

Deployment SOP Checklist is a skill in bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow (423 stars). Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, with 3 other files in the folder (scripts, references, assets). Licence: MIT.

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Identify failure - Check deployment logs, error tracking
2. 2Revert commit - git revert {commit_sha}
3. 3Push revert - Triggers automatic rollback deployment
4. 4Verify rollback - Run smoke tests again
5. 5Document incident - Update ticket with evidence

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26ca58b. 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

  Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl
  • jq
  • git

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Deployment SOP Checklist loads about 950 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 262 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~69

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~950

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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
