Design multi-stage CI/CD pipelines with approval gates, security checks, and deployment orchestration. Use this skill when designing zero-downtime deployment pipelines, implementing canary rollout strategies, setting up multi-environment promotion workflows, or debugging failed deployment gates in CI/CD.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Deployment Pipeline Design Architecture patterns for multi-stage CI/CD pipelines with approval gates, deployment strategies, and environment promotion workflows. ## Purpose Design robust, secure deployment pipelines that balance speed with safety through proper stage organization, automated quality gates, and progressive delivery strategies. This skill covers both the structural design of pipeline architecture and the operational patterns for reliable production deployments. ## Input / Output ### What You Provide - **Application type**: Language/runtime, containerized or bare-metal, monolith or microservices - **Deployment target**: Kubernetes, ECS, VMs, serverless, or platform-as-a-service - **Environment topology**: Number of environments (dev/staging/prod), region layout, air-gap requirements - **Rollout requirements**: Acceptable downtime, rollback SLA, traffic splitting needs, canary vs blue-green preference - **Gate constraints**: Approval teams, required test coverage thresholds, compliance scans (SAST, DAST, SCA) - **Monitoring stack**: Prometheus, Datadog, CloudWatch, or other metrics sources used for automated promotion decisions ### What This Skill Produces …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/deployment-pipeline-design@sha256:9a56bd9401c1dc8eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260522.be57c0b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
