Pre-deploy and post-deploy checklist skill. An agent skill from wednesday-solutions/ai-agent-skills.

  • Calls gh and curl

What it does

Deploy Checklist is an agent skill from wednesday-solutions/ai-agent-skills. Pre-deploy and post-deploy checklist skill. Ensures env vars, migrations, CI, rollback plan, smoke tests, and monitoring are verified before and after every deployment.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 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. It works with Bash. The repository describes itself as: Pre-configured agent skills for Vibe Coded projects. These skills provide AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) with specific guidelines for code quality and design… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Deployment

Example prompts

  • “/deploy-checklist”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80fa195. 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:

    • gh
    • curl

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and curl, 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

Deploy Checklist loads about 702 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 308 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~702

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.

Deploy Checklist Skill

Trigger

Load this skill when a dev is about to deploy or has just deployed:

  • "We're deploying to production"
  • "Pre-deploy check"
  • "Post-deploy verification"
  • "Run the deploy checklist"
  • "Is it safe to deploy?"

Do NOT use this skill for: committing code (use git-os), creating a PR (use pr-create), or planning a project (use greenfield). This skill only applies at the deployment stage — code is already merged.


Run this checklist before and after every production deployment.

Pre-Deploy Checklist

  • All CI checks green on the deploy branch
  • Environment variables verified in target environment (no missing keys)
  • Database migrations reviewed — irreversible migrations documented
  • Migrations have been dry-run or tested in staging
  • Rollback plan documented: what to revert and how
  • Feature flags set correctly for the release
  • Downstream services notified if API contracts changed
  • Changelog updated with this release's changes
  • Deployment window confirmed (avoid peak traffic)

Deploy

  • Deploy initiated with correct branch / tag
  • Deployment logs monitored in real time
  • No unexpected errors during startup

Post-Deploy Checklist

  • Smoke test: critical user flows verified manually or via synthetic monitoring
  • Health check endpoint returns 200
  • Error rate in monitoring (Datadog, Grafana, Sentry) is normal
  • No spike in latency or DB query time
  • Monitoring alerts reviewed — no new alerts triggered
  • Changelog published / communicated to stakeholders
  • Ticket status updated (closed / released)

Rollback Trigger Criteria

Initiate rollback immediately if:

  • Error rate rises above 1% of requests
  • P95 latency increases by more than 2x baseline
  • Any data integrity issue detected
  • Critical feature path returns 5xx

Tools

ActionTool
Run lint, test, build scriptsBash
Check health endpointBash — curl -s <url>/health
Read config or env filesRead
Check CI statusBash — gh run list or gh pr checks

Notes

  • Never deploy on Fridays unless it's a critical hotfix
  • Always have a second engineer available during production deploys
  • Document the actual deploy time and outcome in the ticket
