Install Deployment

skills CLI
$ npx skills add sandgardenhq/sgai --skill deployment -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install sandgardenhq/sgai deployment --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/sandgardenhq/sgai.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/cmd/sgai/skel/.sgai/skills/deployment .claude/skills/deployment && rm -rf skills-src

Use ~/.claude/skills/ instead of .claude/skills for a personal install. The folder must contain SKILL.md.

What it does

Deployment is an agent skill from sandgardenhq/sgai. MANDATORY when GOAL.md mentions deploying, shipping, releasing, or publishing built artifacts to any environment - reads deployment instructions from the .deploy/ directory, enforces pre-deployment verification, artifact integrity checks, deployment execution safety, post-deployment validation, and rollback planning; prevents deploying without tests, skipping rollback plans, or bypassing environment validation. When GOAL.md says deploy, ship, release, publish, or push artifact to production/staging/server.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.5k 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: Sandgarden AI Software Factory.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Deployment

Example prompts

  • “/deployment”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load Deployment Instructions
  2. Pre-Deployment Gate
  3. Artifact Verification
  4. Environment Validation
  5. Rollback Plan
  6. Deployment Execution
  7. Post-Deployment Verification

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9efbb7b. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • ssh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use ssh, 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 loads about 5.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,008 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~131
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,008 words (~5,528 tokens).

“Deployment of built artifacts requires mandatory safety gates. This skill reads deployment instructions from the .deploy/ directory and enforces a structured safety process around them.”

When should I use Deployment?

Deployment fits situations like: tasks that involve Deployment.

How do I install Deployment in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add sandgardenhq/sgai --skill deployment -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (cmd/sgai/skel/.sgai/skills/deployment in sandgardenhq/sgai) into .claude/skills/deployment in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Deployment in Codex?

Run `npx skills add sandgardenhq/sgai --skill deployment -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (cmd/sgai/skel/.sgai/skills/deployment in sandgardenhq/sgai) into .agents/skills/deployment in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Deployment in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add sandgardenhq/sgai --skill deployment -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/deployment, .gemini/skills/deployment, .github/skills/deployment and .opencode/skills/deployment in your project.

What does Deployment need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Deployment needs the command-line tools its instructions call (ssh). Our summary lists: Docker.

Does Deployment access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use ssh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Deployment safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Deployment use?

Deployment has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Deployment use?

About 5.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 22k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Deployment?
