What problem does it solve?

Teams need a reliable way to manage Spacelift runs—confirming, discarding, triggering, retrying, or canceling them—without manually navigating the UI or CLI.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Confirm pending runs: Quickly approve a run after reviewing its changes.
  • Discard runs: Remove unwanted runs before they are applied.
  • Trigger deployments: Start a new tracked or proposed run on a stack.
  • Retry failed runs: Re‑run a failed execution via the CLI when MCP tools lack support.
  • Cancel queued runs: Stop runs that are waiting to start.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to confirm the latest pending Spacelift run for the stack named "my‑service".

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I confirm pending Spacelift runs for Terraform deployments?

You can confirm pending Spacelift runs by asking the skill to approve the latest pending run for a specific stack. It handles approval by calling Spacelift MCP tools when available or falling back to the spacectl CLI.

What's the best way to cancel queued Spacelift runs without using the UI?

The best way to cancel queued Spacelift runs is to use this skill to stop executions waiting to start. It manages canceling runs directly through Spacelift MCP tools or the spacectl CLI without manual UI navigation.

Can I retry failed Spacelift runs using the spacectl CLI?

Yes, you can retry failed Spacelift runs. The skill re-runs failed executions via the spacectl CLI fallback mechanism when MCP tools lack retry support, handling failed Terraform deployments automatically.

Do I need API tokens and environment variables to trigger Spacelift deployments?

Yes, triggering Spacelift deployments requires appropriate API tokens and environment variables. The skill needs these credentials configured to call Spacelift MCP tools or use the spacectl CLI for starting tracked or proposed runs.

How does discarding unwanted Spacelift runs work before they are applied?

Discarding unwanted Spacelift runs removes them before they are applied. The skill sends discard commands through Spacelift MCP tools or the spacectl CLI to prevent unwanted Terraform changes from executing.

Why does my Spacelift run management fall back to the spacectl CLI instead of MCP tools?

Spacelift run management falls back to the spacectl CLI when MCP tools lack support for specific actions like retrying failed runs. The skill automatically detects availability and uses the appropriate interface.
