SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually merging PRs, waiting for CI and deployment pipelines to complete, and verifying production health after a release is time-consuming and error-prone, leading to broken deployments or missed issues in production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated PR merge and pipeline wait: Merges approved PRs and automatically waits for all CI checks and deployment pipelines to complete, eliminating manual monitoring.
  • Production canary verification: Runs post-deploy canary checks to confirm the release is healthy in production before marking the workflow as complete.
  • Use case: After running /ship to create a release PR, use this skill to handle the full merge-to-production workflow end-to-end, reducing the risk of shipping broken code to production.

Quick Start

Use the land-and-deploy skill to merge the current release PR, wait for CI and deployment to finish, and verify production health via canary checks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate merging PRs and waiting for CI/CD pipelines to finish?

Automated PR merge and pipeline wait merges approved release PRs and automatically monitors CI/CD pipelines until deployment completes, eliminating manual monitoring and ensuring code lands safely.

What is production canary verification and how does it work after deployment?

Production canary verification runs post-deploy health checks against canary systems to confirm the release is healthy before marking the workflow complete, preventing broken code from persisting unnoticed.

Do I need access to git repositories and CI/CD endpoints to automate release workflows?

Yes, automating end-to-end release workflows requires access to git repositories, CI/CD pipeline status endpoints, and production canary check systems to safely execute the full merge-to-production process.

What's the best way to safely ship approved PRs to production without manual monitoring?

The best way to safely ship approved PRs without manual monitoring is an automated workflow that merges PRs, waits for CI/CD pipelines, and runs production canary checks to verify health end-to-end.

Can I use this skill after creating a release PR to handle the full merge-to-production workflow?

Yes, after creating a release PR, this skill handles the full merge-to-production workflow by merging the PR, waiting for CI and deployment to finish, and verifying production health via canary checks.

Why does manually merging PRs and verifying production health lead to broken deployments?

Manually merging PRs and verifying production health leads to broken deployments because waiting for CI pipelines and running post-deploy checks manually is time-consuming, error-prone, and prone to missed production issues.
