About shipping-and-launch
shipping-and-launch
Prepares production launches
shipping-and-launch is an agent skill from Addy Osmani's agent-skills collection for preparing a production launch. Its stated goal is not just to deploy but to deploy safely, with monitoring in place, a rollback plan ready, and a clear view of what success looks like. Every launch should be reversible, observable and incremental. The skill provides a pre-launch checklist that begins with code quality, and it answers the question of what needs to be in place before shipping. It applies when deploying a feature to production for the first time, releasing a significant change to users, migrating data or infrastructure, opening a beta or early-access program, and any deployment that carries risk, which the skill treats as all of them. Its scope is the launch itself. Diagnosing failures that are happening now belongs to the debugging skill, and the instrumentation that feeds launch monitoring belongs to the observability skill. The skill is listed on skills.sh, with its security audit results shown there. It suits teams that want a repeatable launch routine, so that each release has a rollback path and a way to tell whether it worked.
