land-and-deploy

Automating PR merge, CI, and production deployment involves orchestrating the land-and-deploy workflow end-to-end. This Skill merges pull requests, waits for CI completion, deploys to production, and validates health using canary checks.

A land-and-deploy workflow with canary checks is an automated release process that merges PRs and deploys to production while validating health incrementally. It removes manual handoffs by triggering CI and applying canary-based validation before advancing.

Yes, you can trigger production deployment using flexible activation phrases like ship it, land it, merge, or deploy. The workflow interprets these release scenarios to initiate the end-to-end merge, CI, and canary validation sequence.

To verify production health after merging a pull request, the workflow applies canary checks immediately following deployment. This ensures the production environment remains stable before completing the handoff to the next step.

No external dependencies are required to run this deployment workflow. The Skill operates independently to merge PRs, trigger CI, deploy to production, and execute canary health validations without additional component installations.

You should avoid using an automated land-and-deploy workflow when your release process requires manual intervention or when your production environment lacks canary health check support to validate post-deployment stability.
