## 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
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.npx skills add https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill deploy-checklistRun this in your project — your agent picks the skill up automatically.
