Best for
- The nerve-racking first production deploy
- Standing up a new environment from a documented procedure
- Rebuilding after a server loss, without archaeology
What you give it
- The prepared target (access, base software) and your deploy procedure
- Credentials placed where your procedure expects them — never pasted to the agent
What you get back
- Prerequisite checks before anything is laid down
- The complete first release executed and logged step by step
- Live verification: health, version, one real user path
How it works
- Reads your bootstrap and deploy documentation before acting.
- Verifies prerequisites: software versions, directories, access, configuration.
- Executes the full release procedure in order, logging each step.
- Initialises data layer per your documented, approved process.
- Verifies the live system and files the complete record.
Example
You: First deploy of the application to the new production server.
Result: Prerequisites verified (one missing system package surfaced and installed per the runbook), release laid down, services started, health and a real sign-in verified — full log filed.
Limits — please read
- No documented procedure, no improvised production — it will stop.
- Secrets are placed by you; it checks presence, not values.
- Provisioning the server itself is upstream of this skill unless scripted.
