Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned posit-dev/skills at 1bb49b8eec.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This DevOps skill enables AI agents to trigger post-release workflows, automating critical steps immediately after a software deployment. It ensures that verification, notification, and cleanup tasks execute reliably without manual intervention.

When to use it

  • Automating smoke tests or integration checks that must run immediately following a production build.
  • Sending automated status notifications to stakeholders once a release pipeline completes successfully.
  • Triggering database migration scripts or cache invalidation routines dependent on new code availability.
  • Initiating rollback procedures if specific post-deployment health checks fail.

Key capabilities

  • Executes defined post-release actions triggered by deployment events.
  • Integrates with existing CI/CD pipelines to bridge the gap between build and verify phases.
  • Supports configurable workflows for diverse release environments.

Example prompts

  • "Run the standard post-release verification suite for the latest production deployment."
  • "Trigger the database migration workflow immediately after the v2.4.0 release completes."
  • "Send a Slack notification to the engineering team confirming the successful completion of the release pipeline."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your CI/CD environment has proper permissions configured before enabling this skill, as it interacts directly with deployment states. Define clear success criteria for post-release tasks to prevent false positives in automated notifications.
