Destroy one cloud environment of the system as its account's administrator: empty the buckets, destroy the environment root, remove what Terraform does not own (the secrets the application wrote, whose tenants' share follows the database's final snapshot, and the leftovers AWS made), and report what remains (the bootstrap root whole: the zones, the registry, the roles, the state; and production's copies of what staging built). Runs scripts/cloud_nuke.sh after checking the administrator profile…

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

# ops-cloud-deployment-nuke

The opposite of create, and just as rare. An environment is destroyed
by a person holding its account's administrator profile, with an agent checking
the preconditions and narrating. Production is protected twice: by a
pull request that lifts deletion protection, merged before this skill
runs, and by the name typed into the command.

Read `../_shared/ops-preamble.md`, a path from this skill's folder,
before the first step: the profiles, the account check, and the env
file are there.

## Input

`--env staging|production [--confirm <env>] [--dry-run]`

`--env` is required; ask for it when missing. `--confirm production`
is required for production and must be typed by the person, never
filled in by the skill. `--dry-run` runs the script in its dry mode,
which prints every command it would run and runs none. The script
destroys a cloud environment only; the compose stack is `make reset`
or `make down`, not this skill.

The account, the region, the administrator profile, and the public
names come from `deployment/cloud/environments.json`. The script also
needs `ALARM_EMAIL` (as an environment variable or as
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add baristaze/swe_guidelines/ops-cloud-deployment-nuke@sha256:86427fde9473a650

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.62aa70e, 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.
