  • Works in 10 steps: Platform Selection → Pre-Deployment Principles → Deployment Workflow Principles → …
  • Tasks that involve Deployment

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Deployment Procedures is an agent skill from xenitV1/Antigravity-Workflows. Production deployment principles and decision-making. Safe deployment workflows, rollback strategies, and verification. Teaches thinking, not scripts.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Deployment

Example prompts

  • “/deployment-procedures”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Bash

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Platform Selection
  2. Pre-Deployment Principles
  3. Deployment Workflow Principles
  4. Post-Deployment Verification
  5. Rollback Principles
  6. Zero-Downtime Deployment
  7. Emergency Procedures
  8. Anti-Patterns
  9. Decision Checklist
  10. Best Practices

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f0a1fa7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Deployment Procedures loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 514 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Bash

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.

Deployment Procedures

Deployment principles and decision-making for safe production releases. Learn to THINK, not memorize scripts.


⚠️ How to Use This Skill

This skill teaches deployment principles, not bash scripts to copy.

  • Every deployment is unique
  • Understand the WHY behind each step
  • Adapt procedures to your platform

1. Platform Selection

Decision Tree
What are you deploying?
│
├── Static site / JAMstack
│   └── Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages
│
├── Simple web app
│   ├── Managed → Railway, Render, Fly.io
│   └── Control → VPS + PM2/Docker
│
├── Microservices
│   └── Container orchestration
│
└── Serverless
    └── Edge functions, Lambda
Each Platform Has Different Procedures
PlatformDeployment Method
Vercel/NetlifyGit push, auto-deploy
Railway/RenderGit push or CLI
VPS + PM2SSH + manual steps
DockerImage push + orchestration
Kuberneteskubectl apply

2. Pre-Deployment Principles

The 4 Verification Categories
CategoryWhat to Check
Code QualityTests passing, linting clean, reviewed
BuildProduction build works, no warnings
EnvironmentEnv vars set, secrets current
SafetyBackup done, rollback plan ready
Pre-Deployment Checklist
  • All tests passing
  • Code reviewed and approved
  • Production build successful
  • Environment variables verified
  • Database migrations ready (if any)
  • Rollback plan documented
  • Team notified
  • Monitoring ready

3. Deployment Workflow Principles

The 5-Phase Process
1. PREPARE
   └── Verify code, build, env vars

2. BACKUP
   └── Save current state before changing

3. DEPLOY
   └── Execute with monitoring open

4. VERIFY
   └── Health check, logs, key flows

5. CONFIRM or ROLLBACK
   └── All good? Confirm. Issues? Rollback.
Phase Principles
PhasePrinciple
PrepareNever deploy untested code
BackupCan't rollback without backup
DeployWatch it happen, don't walk away
VerifyTrust but verify
ConfirmHave rollback trigger ready

4. Post-Deployment Verification

What to Verify
CheckWhy
Health endpointService is running
Error logsNo new errors
Key user flowsCritical features work
PerformanceResponse times acceptable
Verification Window
  • First 5 minutes: Active monitoring
  • 15 minutes: Confirm stable
  • 1 hour: Final verification
  • Next day: Review metrics

5. Rollback Principles

When to Rollback
SymptomAction
Service downRollback immediately
Critical errorsRollback
Performance >50% degradedConsider rollback
Minor issuesFix forward if quick
Rollback Strategy by Platform
PlatformRollback Method
Vercel/NetlifyRedeploy previous commit
Railway/RenderRollback in dashboard
VPS + PM2Restore backup, restart
DockerPrevious image tag
K8skubectl rollout undo
Rollback Principles
  1. Speed over perfection: Rollback first, debug later
  2. Don't compound errors: One rollback, not multiple changes
  3. Communicate: Tell team what happened
  4. Post-mortem: Understand why after stable

6. Zero-Downtime Deployment

Strategies
StrategyHow It Works
RollingReplace instances one by one
Blue-GreenSwitch traffic between environments
CanaryGradual traffic shift
Selection Principles
ScenarioStrategy
Standard releaseRolling
High-risk changeBlue-green (easy rollback)
Need validationCanary (test with real traffic)

7. Emergency Procedures

Service Down Priority
  1. Assess: What's the symptom?
  2. Quick fix: Restart if unclear
  3. Rollback: If restart doesn't help
  4. Investigate: After stable
Investigation Order
CheckCommon Issues
LogsErrors, exceptions
ResourcesDisk full, memory
NetworkDNS, firewall
DependenciesDatabase, APIs

8. Anti-Patterns

❌ Don't✅ Do
Deploy on FridayDeploy early in week
Rush deploymentFollow the process
Skip stagingAlways test first
Deploy without backupBackup before deploy
Walk away after deployMonitor for 15+ min
Multiple changes at onceOne change at a time

9. Decision Checklist

Before deploying:

  • Platform-appropriate procedure?
  • Backup strategy ready?
  • Rollback plan documented?
  • Monitoring configured?
  • Team notified?
  • Time to monitor after?

10. Best Practices

  1. Small, frequent deploys over big releases
  2. Feature flags for risky changes
  3. Automate repetitive steps
  4. Document every deployment
  5. Review what went wrong after issues
  6. Test rollback before you need it

Remember: Every deployment is a risk. Minimize risk through preparation, not speed.
