What does the /deploy command do?

The /deploy command initiates a multi-step process to build your NixOS configuration, verify host connectivity, and push changes to a specific hostname using deploy-rs.

How does the skill ensure I don't get locked out of my server?

It includes critical safety checks that warn against disabling VPN services like Netbird while connected and forces verification of SSH access before attempting changes to network interfaces.

Can I preview changes before the deployment is applied?

Yes, the skill is designed to run a closure diff between the current system and the new build, allowing you to review exactly which packages and files will change.

What happens if a NixOS deployment fails?

The skill guides you through post-deployment verification to identify failed systemd units and provides specific rollback commands to return the target host to its previous stable generation.

Deploys NixOS configurations to remote hosts using deploy-rs with automated safety checks and verification steps.

This skill provides a structured workflow for managing NixOS infrastructure by automating the deployment of configuration changes via deploy-rs. It guides Claude through a rigorous pre-deployment checklist—including build verification, connectivity testing via VPN, and closure diffing—to ensure stability before applying changes to target hosts. Designed for reliability, it handles post-deployment health checks and provides clear instructions for rollbacks, making it an essential tool for developers managing personal servers or complex NixOS-based environments safely.
