Release

The tobi-release skill enables AI agents to manage software deployment lifecycles by interacting with the Tobi platform. It allows agents to trigger builds, promote artifacts between environments, and verify release statuses directly through API calls.

When to use it

• Automating nightly production deployments after successful staging validation.
• Coordinating multi-environment rollouts (e.g., dev → staging → prod) without manual intervention.
• Triggering emergency hotfixes when critical bugs are identified in live services.
• Scheduling maintenance windows to release updates during low-traffic periods.

Key capabilities

• Initiates new builds from source code repositories.
• Promotes artifacts across different deployment environments.
• Retrieves real-time status of ongoing releases and build jobs.
• Validates artifact integrity before promotion to production.

Example prompts

• "Deploy version 2.4.1 to the staging environment and notify me once the build completes."
• "Check the current status of the release pipeline for the payment service."
• "Promote the latest approved artifact from staging to production during the scheduled maintenance window."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has valid API credentials with appropriate permissions to access the Tobi platform before attempting deployments. Always verify environment names and version tags in your prompts to prevent accidental overwrites or incorrect promotions.
