name: deploy description: Complete deployment checklist to staging/production with rollback. Use when deploying to any environment with regression risk. metadata: version: "1.0.0"

neuron: deploy

• triggers_when: about to deploy to staging or production
• tier: T4
• budget: 1500 tokens
• eval: number of failed pre-deploy gates -> threshold 0
• reward: pheromone +1 if eval >= threshold

Procedure

1. Verify pre-deploy gates: lint, typecheck, tests, secrets, migrations.
2. Deploy to staging and validate the CI/CD pipeline.
3. Create a release tag and deploy to production.
4. Run the smoke test in <=5 min (health 200, key endpoints).
5. Monitor error tracking for 15 min; if error >10x baseline, rollback.

Checklist

• [ ] lint + typecheck + tests pass
• [ ] No secrets in the diff
• [ ] Backward-compatible migrations applied
• [ ] Critical smoke test passes; rollback defined in advance

Pitfalls

• Skipping a pre-deploy gate
• Deploying non-backward-compatible migrations
• Not defining the rollback criterion in advance
