Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Plan deployment environments, infrastructure, secrets, migrations, workers, schedulers, storage, domains, SSL, and release flow.Key capabilities
- →Identify deployment target and environments
- →Define secrets and environment variables
- →Plan build artifacts and migration steps
- →Consider queues, workers, and schedulers
- →Plan storage, cache, domain, and SSL
- →Include preflight and smoke checks
How it works
This skill outlines a procedure to plan deployment environments, infrastructure, and release flows by identifying targets, defining secrets, and considering various components like storage and SSL.
Inputs & outputs
When to use deployment-planner
- →Plan production release steps
- →Define environment-specific secrets
- →Draft rollback and recovery procedures
- →Verify infrastructure preflight checks
About this skill
deployment-planner
Token Budget
Medium. Chunk by environment if needed.
When to Use
- Before first deploy.
- Before production release.
- When deploy target/environment changes.
Entry Conditions
- The user request matches this skill.
- Required prior outputs are available or explicitly missing.
Procedure
- Identify deploy target and environments.
- Define secrets/env vars and protection rules.
- Plan build artifacts, migrations, queues/workers, scheduler, storage, cache, domain/SSL.
- Include preflight and smoke checks.
- Hand off rollback requirements to
rollback-planner.
Exit Conditions
- Deploy plan is actionable and rollback requirements are explicit.
Loop Conditions
- If environment conflicts with architecture, route to
architecture-review. - If rollback is incomplete, route to
rollback-planner.
Escalation Conditions
- Escalate to human when requirements conflict, data loss is possible, production risk appears, or safe verification is not possible.
Required Output
- Deployment target.
- Environment map.
- Secrets/env requirements.
- Build/release steps.
- Migration/worker/storage considerations.
- Smoke checks.
- Rollback requirements.
Universal Contract
For every run, report:
- What was inspected.
- What changed, if anything.
- What assumptions were made.
- What verification was run.
- What loop, blocker, or escalation remains.
- Whether
.agent/shared state orcontext/should be updated.
Do not edit files unless the user explicitly requested implementation or this skill's task requires file creation. Do not store secrets in shared state or context.
Limitations
- →The skill requires routing to 'rollback-planner' for incomplete rollback plans
- →The skill requires routing to 'architecture-review' if environment conflicts with architecture
How it compares
This skill provides a structured, step-by-step procedure for deployment planning, ensuring all critical aspects are covered, unlike an ad-hoc approach.
