What it does

Clade Prod Checklist is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Production readiness checklist for Claude-powered applications — Use when working with prod-checklist patterns. error handling, monitoring, fallbacks, cost controls, and security. Trigger with "anthropic production", "claude production ready", "anthropic launch checklist", "go live with claude".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/one-pager.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Budgeting and forecasting, Product launch strategy and Error handling. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Working with prod-checklist patterns
  • With anthropic production
  • Claude production ready
  • Anthropic launch checklist

Example prompts

  • “anthropic production”
  • “claude production ready”
  • “anthropic launch checklist”
  • “/clade-prod-checklist”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Review the patterns below
  2. Apply to your codebase
  3. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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
    • Write
    • Edit

    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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • platform.claude.com
    • status.anthropic.com

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Clade Prod Checklist loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 441 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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.

Anthropic Production Checklist

Overview

Before going live with a Claude-powered app, verify every item below.

Authentication & Security

  • API key stored in secrets manager (not in code or env file on disk)
  • Key rotated — not the same one used during development
  • Server-side only — no key exposed to client/browser
  • Per-user rate limiting in place
  • Input validation: max length, content filtering
  • System prompt includes injection guardrails

Output

  • All checklist items verified (authentication, error handling, streaming, cost, monitoring, reliability, content, performance)
  • Production API key configured with appropriate spending limits
  • Monitoring and alerting in place
  • Fallback behavior tested for API outages

Error Handling

  • All Anthropic API calls wrapped in try/catch
  • RateLimitError (429) → backoff and retry
  • OverloadedError (529) → fallback model or queue
  • AuthenticationError (401) → alert team, don't retry
  • InvalidRequestError (400) → log and fix, don't retry
  • Network errors → retry with backoff
  • Request IDs logged for every error (for support tickets)

Streaming

  • Using client.messages.stream() for user-facing responses
  • Stream errors handled (connection drops, incomplete responses)
  • stop_reason checked: end_turn vs max_tokens (incomplete)

Cost Controls

  • max_tokens set to realistic values (not 4096 for short answers)
  • Correct model for each task (Haiku for simple, Sonnet for balanced)
  • Prompt caching enabled for repeated system prompts
  • Usage logging in place — tracking tokens and cost per request
  • Spending alerts set in Anthropic console

Monitoring

  • Response latency tracked (TTFT and total)
  • Token usage tracked (input/output per request)
  • Error rates dashboarded (by error type)
  • Anthropic status page monitored (status.anthropic.com)

Reliability

  • SDK maxRetries set (default 2 is fine for most)
  • Timeout configured for your use case (timeout option)
  • Single client instance reused (not created per request)
  • Graceful degradation if Claude is down (cached responses, fallback)
Show full SKILL.md (174 more words)Show less

Content & Compliance

  • System prompt tested against edge cases and adversarial inputs
  • Output validated before showing to users (JSON parsing, length)
  • Data retention settings configured in Anthropic console
  • No unnecessary PII in prompts
  • Usage policy compliance (Anthropic's Acceptable Use Policy)

Performance

  • p95 latency acceptable for your UX
  • Prompt caching for latency-sensitive paths
  • Parallel requests where possible (Promise.all)
  • Client-side streaming UI implemented

Examples

Each section above is a verifiable checklist. Work through Authentication & Security, Error Handling, Streaming, Cost Controls, Monitoring, Reliability, Content & Compliance, and Performance sections.

Resources

Next Steps

See clade-observability for monitoring setup.

Prerequisites

  • All other anthropic skills reviewed
  • Application feature-complete and tested locally
  • Production API key created (separate from dev)
  • Deployment platform selected

Instructions

Step 1: Review the patterns below

Each section contains production-ready code examples. Copy and adapt them to your use case.

Step 2: Apply to your codebase

Integrate the patterns that match your requirements. Test each change individually.

Step 3: Verify

Run your test suite to confirm the integration works correctly.
