The skill first has Claude collect four groups of details: what is changing, the environment, constraints such as downtime and approvals, and the risk. Then it writes a plan in ten sections, from an executive summary to contact information.

SKILL.md asks for specific commands at each step, checks after each step, and four time windows of verification signals (0-2 minutes, 2-5, 5-15 and 15+). It bundles no scripts. The skill writes the plan as text, and your team still runs the commands.

Good for

  • DevOps and platform engineers planning a production change
  • Developers who need a deploy plan their team can review
  • On-call leads who want rollback criteria written down before a release
  • Teams with change windows or approval rules

1 file: SKILL.md (no scripts)

What it includes

  • Asks for change, environment, constraints and risk

    Before writing, the agent collects what is changing, the target environment, downtime and approval limits, and known risks.

    Gather change details

  • What, why, when, risk level and expected downtime

    1. Executive summary

  • Required approvals, resources and pre-deployment backups

    2. Prerequisites and approvals

  • Health baselines and a go/no-go checklist

    3. Preflight checks

  • Pre-deployment, deployment and progressive verification phases

    Each step has specific commands, a validation and a duration estimate.

    4. Step-by-step rollout procedure

  • Checks at 0-2, 2-5, 5-15 and 15+ minutes

    5. Verification signals

  • When to roll back, how, and how to confirm recovery

    6. Rollback procedure

  • Notices from T-24h to completion, plus a stakeholder matrix

    7. Communication plan

  • Reviews at 1 hour, 24 hours and 1 week

    8. Post-deployment tasks

  • Partial failure, slow performance, bad data, failed dependency

    9. Contingency plans

  • On-call, escalation path and emergency contacts

    10. Contact information

  • Scales the plan by infrastructure, risk, change type and environment

    Low risk gets a simpler plan and high risk gets extra gates. Production gets the full plan, staging a simplified one and development a minimal one.

Questions

What does the devops-rollout-plan skill do?

It makes Claude write a production-ready rollout plan for an infrastructure or application change. The plan covers preflight checks, step-by-step deployment, verification, rollback and communication.

What does Claude ask me before it writes the plan?

SKILL.md lists four groups: the change description, environment details, constraints such as downtime window and approvals, and a risk assessment. Have those ready for a faster result.

Does it run the deployment?

SKILL.md tells the agent to generate a plan. It bundles no scripts and the plan lists commands for your team to run. Review them before anyone runs them.

How do I install devops-rollout-plan?

Use the install box at the top of this page. It has tabs for Claude Code, the Claude app, Codex and the skills CLI.

Can I use it for staging, not just production?

Yes. SKILL.md says production gets the full plan, staging a simplified one and development a minimal one. It also scales the plan by risk level: low is simplified and high adds gates.

Is it safe to install?

The skill folder holds one file, SKILL.md, and bundles no scripts. It produces a document, so the risk is in the commands it suggests. Read each rollout and rollback command before you run it against real systems.
