Deploy Checklist

Deploy Checklist is a ready-to-run software development skill on Zeplik. Use before shipping a release -- pre-deployment verification: CI status, approvals, database migrations, feature flags, rollback triggers documented ahead of time. Ask in plain language and Zeplik applies the skill's method for you inside the conversation, on whichever AI model you prefer. It returns a structured checklist you can keep and reuse: Checklist artifact -- actionable checked items with state, grouped by phase (see artifact-templates/checklist.md).

The Deploy Checklist skill loads automatically when your request matches it, or you can invoke it directly by typing /deploy-checklist in any chat. It works with attachments, connectors, and any model that supports the task, so you get the same expert method every time without setting anything up.

What the Deploy Checklist skill can do

• Generate a go/no-go checklist covering pre-deploy, deploy, and post-deploy steps
• Add custom checks for feature flags, migrations, or breaking API changes
• Define rollback triggers with error rate and latency thresholds before shipping
• Verify CI status and PR approvals from pasted source control or pipeline data
