What problem does it solve? Merging a PR and confirming the deploy actually worked is a manual, error-prone process: watching CI, picking the right merge method, waiting on deploy workflows, and checking production health. This Skill automates the entire post-PR release sequence with safety gates before anything irreversible happens. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated merge pipeline: Detects the PR from the current branch, checks CI status and merge conflicts, waits for pending checks, and merges using the repo's configured method (squash, merge, or rebase). - Pre-merge readiness gate: Reviews code review staleness, test results, CHANGELOG updates, and PR accuracy before merging, with an optional inline quick review of the diff. - Deploy verification: Detects the deploy platform (Fly.io, Render, Vercel, Netlify, Heroku, Railway), waits for the deploy workflow, and runs canary health checks against the production URL, offering revert on failure. - Use Case: After running /ship to create a PR, invoke this Skill to merge it, wait for the GitHub Actions deploy to finish, and get a verdict on whether production is healthy. ## Quick Start Type /land-and-deploy to merge the PR for the current branch and verify the production deploy, optionally passing a PR number like /land-and-deploy #123 or a verification URL.
