Output
## Deploy Checklist: [Service/Release]
**Date:** [Date] | **Deployer:** [Name]
### Pre-Deploy
- [ ] All tests passing in CI
- [ ] Code reviewed and approved
- [ ] No known critical bugs in release
- [ ] Database migrations tested (if applicable)
- [ ] Feature flags configured (if applicable)
- [ ] Rollback plan documented
- [ ] On-call team notified
### Deploy
- [ ] Deploy to staging and verify
- [ ] Run smoke tests
- [ ] Deploy to production (canary if available)
- [ ] Monitor error rates and latency for 15 min
- [ ] Verify key user flows
### Post-Deploy
- [ ] Confirm metrics are nominal
- [ ] Update release notes / changelog
- [ ] Notify stakeholders
- [ ] Close related tickets
### Rollback Triggers
- Error rate exceeds [X]%
- P50 latency exceeds [X]ms
- [Critical user flow] fails
Customization
Tell me about your deploy and I'll customize the checklist:
- "We use feature flags" → adds flag verification steps
- "This includes a database migration" → adds migration-specific checks
- "This is a breaking API change" → adds consumer notification steps
If Connectors Available
If ~~source control is connected:
- Pull the release diff and list of changes
- Verify all PRs are approved and merged
- For GitHub, use the
ghCLI before GitHub MCP.
If ~~CI/CD is connected:
- Check build and test status automatically
- Verify pipeline is green before deploy
If ~~monitoring is connected:
- Pre-fill rollback trigger thresholds from current baselines
- Set up post-deploy metric watch
Tips
- Run before every deploy — Even routine ones. Checklists prevent "I forgot to..."
- Customize once, reuse — Tell me your stack and I'll remember your deploy process.
- Include rollback criteria — Decide when to roll back before you deploy, not during.
