Plan, implement, review, or troubleshoot deployment paths, hosting, CI/CD, release, rollback, environment, and production-readiness decisions for projects.

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-engineer

## Purpose During Development

Use this skill when Codex and similar AI coding agents need to plan, implement, review, or troubleshoot deployment paths for a project.

This is a reusable development-time reasoning framework. It is not runtime code and must not be coupled into the product being deployed.

## When To Apply

- choosing hosting, runtime, CI/CD, release, rollback, or environment strategy
- preparing a project for local preview, staging, production, or demos
- reviewing deployment configuration, infrastructure-as-code, containerization, build scripts, or environment variables
- reducing deployment complexity while preserving security and operational needs

## What To Inspect

- package managers, build scripts, lockfiles, runtime versions, and framework conventions
- existing deployment files, CI workflows, Dockerfiles, compose files, IaC, hosting config, and environment examples
- secrets handling, environment variables, domains, TLS, storage, database, queue, and background job needs
- repository guidance for security, operations, testing, and cost
- current production or staging assumptions if the repo already deploys

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add polakinio/ai-engineering-playbook/deployment-engineer@sha256:a7963bf12673c6b2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.5b0dd88, 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.
