SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

DevLearn post-ship helps you confirm a release is actually working for real users in production-like conditions, instead of assuming it’s fine because it works on your laptop.

Core Features & Use Cases

Smoke test checklist: Runs a practical set of checks (incognito homepage, critical user path, API health) to catch common release breakages early.
Monitoring vocabulary and first steps: Teaches what logs, metrics, alerts, canary, rollback, and SLO mean so you know what to look for after deploy.
Failure playbook: Guides what to do when something is wrong—rollback first, then debug using prod symptoms—without guessing.

Quick Start

Ask your agent to run the post-deploy smoke checklist for your live URL in incognito and write a post-ship status summary with whether it’s healthy or blocked, including the rollback option and what to watch next.
