Overview

Pre-deployment verification checklist. Use when about to ship a release, deploying a change with database migrations or feature flags, verifying CI status and approvals before going to production, or documenting rollback triggers ahead of time.

Documentation

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.

Generate a pre-deployment checklist to verify readiness before shipping.

Usage

/deploy-checklist $ARGUMENTS

Output

## Deploy Checklist: [Service/Release]
**Date:** [Date] | **Deployer:** [Name]

Customization

Tell me about your deploy and I'll customize the checklist:

"We use feature flags" → adds flag verification steps
"This includes a database migration" → adds migration-specific checks
"This is a breaking API change" → adds consumer notification steps

If Connectors Available

If ~~source control is connected:

Pull the release diff and list of changes
Verify all PRs are approved and merged

If ~~CI/CD is connected:

Check build and test status automatically
Verify pipeline is green before deploy

If ~~monitoring is connected:

Pre-fill rollback trigger thresholds from current baselines
Set up post-deploy metric watch

Tips

Run before every deploy — Even routine ones. Checklists prevent "I forgot to..."
Customize once, reuse — Tell me your stack and I'll remember your deploy process.
Include rollback criteria — Decide when to roll back before you deploy, not during.~~
