## What it does

The skill lays out a release flow covering preparation, backup, deployment, verification, and confirmation or rollback. It asks the agent to check tests, the production build, environment variables, migrations, monitoring, and the recovery plan. After deployment, it checks a health endpoint, logs, key user flows, and performance.

It compares procedures for Vercel, Netlify, Railway, Render, Fly.io, VPS with PM2, Docker, and Kubernetes. Rollback options include a previous commit, a dashboard action, a restored backup, an earlier image tag, or `kubectl rollout undo`. The skill can use `Read`, `Glob`, `Grep`, and `Bash`; it does not supply copy-paste bash scripts, so the workflow must match the target platform.

## When to use it
- prepare a production release
- check the build and environment variables
- document a rollback plan
- verify a service after deployment
- choose a zero-downtime release strategy

## Example prompts
- Check whether this project is ready for production and write a rollback plan.
- For a Docker deployment, list the checks before launch and the steps to confirm the release.
- A service went down after deployment. Give me the investigation and rollback order, starting with the logs.
