Deployment and release management. Use when the user asks about "deployment", "CI/CD", "release", "shipping", "publishing", "deploy pipeline", "release process", or when setting up or managing deployment workflows. Covers CI/CD configuration, release strategies, and deployment validation.

Guidelines for deploying and releasing software.
Before deploying:
Choose appropriate strategy for the change:
| Strategy | When to use | | ------------- | ------------------------------------ | | Rolling | Low-risk changes, stateless services | | Blue-green | Need instant rollback capability | | Canary | High-risk changes, gradual rollout | | Feature flags | Decoupling deploy from release |
After deploying:
| Anti-Pattern | Instead | | ------------------ | --------------------------------------- | | Manual deployments | Automate with CI/CD | | No rollback plan | Always have a rollback strategy | | Skipping staging | Validate in a staging environment first | | Big-bang releases | Deploy incrementally | | Deploy on Friday | Deploy when you can monitor the result |

Manually reproduce what the github-app plugin's SessionStart hook does to make a GitHub App installation token usable in the current session — materialize the PEM, generate the token, isolate GH_CONFIG_DIR, write the runtime env file, and wire CLAUDE_ENV_FILE so every Bash call sees GH_TOKEN/GITHUB_TOKEN. Use when the hook did not run, the token is missing from the environment, or a shell/teammate needs the token wired up by hand. <example>GH_TOKEN isn't set even though github-app is configured</example> <example>the github-app SessionStart hook didn't run, set up the token manually</example> <example>wire the github app token into CLAUDE_ENV_FILE</example> <example>gh keeps falling back to the wrong account, isolate GH_CONFIG_DIR</example>
tools
Manually configure the GitHub App bot git identity the way the github-app plugin's SessionStart hook does — resolve the app slug and bot user ID, build the <slug>[bot] name and noreply email, set GIT_AUTHOR_*/GIT_COMMITTER_* env vars, and write an isolated GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL with the gh auth git-credential helper. Use when commits are attributed to the wrong account, "Author identity unknown" appears, or git identity must be set up by hand. <example>my commits are showing up as the handler, not the bot</example> <example>git says Author identity unknown after the github-app hook ran</example> <example>configure the github app bot git identity manually</example> <example>set up the gh credential helper for git push</example>

# Bash Chaining Alternatives This skill teaches you how to work around the bash command chaining restriction enforced by this plugin. ## Why Chaining is Blocked The `bash-command-rejection` plugin blocks these operators: | Operator | Name | Why Blocked | | -------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `&&` | AND chain | Runs cmd2 only if cmd1 su
