What are the prerequisites for running a production deployment?

You must have staging validation marked as 'approved' in your state.yaml file and a passed rollback gate to ensure recovery options are available before the deployment triggers.

Which deployment platforms are supported?

The skill is designed to be flexible, supporting various models including Git push to production branches, GitHub Actions workflow triggers, and CLI-based deployments like Vercel or Netlify.

What happens if a health check fails during deployment?

If any critical health check for your API, database, or service fails, the workflow signals a failure and provides a structured rollback procedure to restore the previous stable version.

How does this skill handle versioning?

It follows Semantic Versioning (SemVer) rules to bump major, minor, or patch versions based on your changes, automatically updating package.json and creating annotated git tags.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates the promotion of validated staging builds to production with semantic versioning and comprehensive health checks.

About

The Production Deployment Phase skill facilitates a structured, risk-mitigated transition from staging to live production environments within the Spec-Flow framework. It enforces critical quality gates by verifying staging approvals, automatically calculates semantic version bumps, and manages annotated git release tagging. By integrating automated health checks for APIs and databases along with post-deployment monitoring, it ensures that every production launch is auditable, repeatable, and safe, providing a comprehensive ship report and verified rollback procedures for every release.
