What problem does it solve? Launch readiness is often scattered across deployment, observability, and testing workflows, so a service can pass every individual gate and still be unready for production traffic. This Skill forces a single consolidated Production Readiness Review (PRR) with human sign-off before go-live. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Seven-dimension checklist artifact: Produces a PRR document covering Service Levels, Architecture & Dependencies, Performance & Capacity, Observability, Deployment & Rollback, Operability, and Testing & Security, with every line marked PASS / FAIL / N-A plus evidence. - Evidence-based validation: Rejects plausible-but-unverified claims — rollback must be tested, SLO targets must trace to real measurements, and dependencies must be verified to exist. - Human go/no-go gate: Acts as a hard gate in the epic lane before first production traffic; a FAIL blocks launch and a named human signs off. - Use Case: Before launching a new externally-reachable API service, run the PRR to confirm SLOs are measured, the rollback procedure was actually executed, runbooks were exercised, and on-call is defined — then present the artifact for human sign-off. ## Quick Start Run a production readiness review for the payments service before its first production traffic and produce the go/no-go checklist artifact.
