SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It automates the full “merge then deploy” workflow, including waiting for CI, performing production canary health checks, and guiding the follow-up PR lifecycle when the user asks to ship.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CI-aware merge handling: Continues the workflow after merge/land requests and coordinates the next steps once checks are expected to be ready.
  • Deploy plus canary verification: Verifies production health using canary checks rather than assuming a deploy is correct.
  • gstack workflow take-over from /ship: Takes over after a user indicates intent to ship (for example via “/ship”) and creates or updates the PR needed to land and deploy. Use cases: use when your request includes words like merge, land, deploy, ship it to production, merge and verify, or land it, and you want the model to follow a production-safety-oriented sequence.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant: "Merge and deploy this change, then verify production health with canary checks."

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate merge and deploy workflows with canary checks?

To automate a merge and deploy workflow with canary checks, you can trigger the process using natural language commands like merge and deploy. The workflow coordinates landing changes, waits for CI, and validates production health via canary verification before completing.

What is a plan-first gstack preamble for release automation?

A plan-first gstack preamble is a required safety protocol that executes before routing merge and deploy operations. It enforces plan-mode safety rules and guides the workflow through CI and deploy verification steps until the release sequence finishes successfully.

Can I use natural language to trigger a ship to production workflow?

Yes, you can trigger a ship to production workflow using natural language phrases such as ship to production, land it, or merge and verify. The workflow takes over after intent is detected and creates or updates the PR needed to land and deploy.

How do I verify production health after deploying a merged PR?

To verify production health after deploying a merged PR, the workflow performs canary checks rather than assuming the deploy is correct. This validates production stability automatically as part of the merge-to-deploy sequence.

Does this deploy workflow handle CI-aware merge handling automatically?

Yes, the deploy workflow handles CI-aware merge processing by continuing the sequence after merge requests and coordinating the next steps automatically once CI checks are expected to be ready.

What are the limitations of using canary verification for release automation?

Canary verification for release automation relies on executing a plan-first gstack preamble and honoring plan-mode safety rules. It requires guiding through CI and deploy verification steps sequentially until the workflow explicitly completes.
