Deployment Pipeline

When to Use

Activate this skill when:

• Setting up or modifying CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions
• Deploying application changes to staging or production environments
• Planning environment promotion strategies (dev -> staging -> production)
• Implementing pre-deployment validation gates
• Configuring health checks and smoke tests for deployed services
• Planning or executing rollback procedures after a failed deployment
• Setting up canary or blue-green deployment strategies
• Troubleshooting deployment failures or pipeline errors

Output: Write deployment results to deployment-report.md with status, version deployed, health check results, and rollback instructions if needed.
