This guide outlines advanced architectural patterns for building multi-stage CI/CD pipelines. It covers best practices for implementing robust deployment gates, including manual approvals, time-based triggers, and multi-approver workflows. It details various deployment strategies like Rolling, Blue-Green, and Canary releases, ensuring controlled, zero-downtime, and highly reliable software releases.

This skill teaches the critical principles and decision-making processes for safe production releases. It covers platform selection (e.g., Kubernetes, Vercel), mandatory pre-deployment verification (Code Quality, Environment), structured workflows (Prepare, Backup, Deploy, Verify), and advanced strategies like Blue-Green and Canary deployments. Focuses on thinking through risk mitigation, not just executing scripts.

A comprehensive expert for configuration management, specializing in validating, testing, and ensuring the correctness of application settings. It creates robust validation schemas (e.g., JSON Schema) and performs critical checks, including identifying potential security secrets (API keys, passwords), ensuring data consistency across different environments (development, staging, production), and enforcing type safety for reliable deployments.

Automates the creation of deprecation notices for technical documentation, guiding users through patterns, best practices, and validation steps when writing API docs, user guides, or architecture notes.

Automates guidance when requesting design doc templates, covering patterns, best practices, and example triggers across API, user, and architecture docs to streamline technical documentation.

Guides REST and GraphQL API creation with endpoint planning, versioning, auth, rate limits, error handling, pagination, and OpenAPI docs to keep designs consistent when building or reviewing services.

Guides engineers through selecting software architecture patterns, structuring projects, and documenting trade-offs via checklists, decision frameworks, and validation steps for system design conversations or new projects.

Designs normalized database schemas by analyzing requirements, mapping relationships, generating ERD diagrams, and producing SQL CREATE statements so you can build well-structured relational databases and follow best practices.

Blueprint for designing comprehensive test suites, guiding when to add unit, integration, or E2E tests, selecting frameworks, managing data/mocks, and validating coverage and reliability.

Guides Claude Code skill authors through designing and structuring workflow-based skills with numbered phases, decision routing, subagent delegation, and progressive disclosure so multi-step automations remain predictable and auditable.

Detect, analyze, and resolve production database deadlocks via the database-deadlock-detector plugin, which runs `/deadlock` to monitor lock contention, report transaction patterns, and suggest fixes for recurring issues.

Detects discrepancies between current infrastructure and desired configurations by running drift-detect, helping DevOps teams ensure Terraform-managed environments stay consistent and report configuration differences.
