deploy-checklist: Workflow Automation for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Deploy Checklist — the fence between staging and prod

Run this checklist before any deploy. The production deploy itself is gated by a human approval step enforced in protocols/permissions.md.

Pre-deploy checks

All tests passing locally and in CI.
No unresolved TODOs or FIXMEs in the diff.
Migrations are reversible, or an explicit rollback plan is documented.
Env vars for new features are set in the target environment.
Feature flags default to off for anything user-visible.
Changelog or release notes updated.

Staging deploy

Deploy. Watch logs for 5 minutes. Click through the new flow in a real browser.
If anything looks off, roll back and investigate. Do not push through.

Production deploy

This step requires human approval. The agent must ask, not assume.
Deploy during a low-traffic window when possible.
Watch error rate and latency dashboards for 15 minutes post-deploy.
Be ready to rollback in one command; have the rollback command pre-typed.

Post-deploy

Log the deploy (version, time, who approved) to episodic memory with importance: 8.
If anything went wrong, run the debug-investigator loop and update this checklist with the new step that would have caught it.

Self-rewrite hook

After any rollback, this checklist is missing a step. Add it.

# Deploy Checklist — the fence between staging and prod

Run this checklist before any deploy. The production deploy itself is
gated by a human approval step enforced in `protocols/permissions.md`.

## Pre-deploy checks
- [ ] All tests passing locally and in CI.
- [ ] No unresolved TODOs or FIXMEs in the diff.
- [ ] Migrations are reversible, or an explicit rollback plan is documented.
- [ ] Env vars for new features are set in the target environment.
- [ ] Feature flags default to off for anything user-visible.
- [ ] Changelog or release notes updated.

## Staging deploy
- Deploy. Watch logs for 5 minutes. Click through the new flow in a real browser.
- If anything looks off, roll back and investigate. Do not push through.

## Production deploy
- This step *requires* human approval. The agent must ask, not assume.
- Deploy during a low-traffic window when possible.
- Watch error rate and latency dashboards for 15 minutes post-deploy.
- Be ready to rollback in one command; have the rollback command pre-typed.

## Post-deploy
- Log the deploy (version, time, who approved) to episodic memory with
`importance: 8`.
- If anything went wrong, run the debug-investigator loop and update
this checklist with the new step that would have caught it.

## Self-rewrite hook
After any rollback, this checklist is missing a step. Add it.

Review the source

Skill source recorded

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
Quality score needs review
Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

Source & trust

Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
