Claude skills for Release
4 skills in the bank are filed under Release. They are grouped here because they compete for the same jobs — which is the reason an agent reaching for one of them sometimes gets another.
- CanarygstackWatches a release right after it goes out, comparing the new version's health signals against the old so a bad deploy is caught early and can be rolled back. It monitors AFTER the deploy, unlike preparing the change, performing the deploy, or intercepting risky commands.
- CarefulgstackActs as a safety net around destructive shell commands — force-pushes, recursive deletes, dropping a table — pausing to confirm before something irreversible runs. It guards individual dangerous actions, not the steps of preparing, deploying, or monitoring a release.
- Land and DeploygstackTakes an approved change the rest of the way — merges it and pushes it live to production. Its job is the deploy itself, distinct from preparing the change and opening a PR, from watching how the release behaves afterward, and from guarding against destructive commands.
- ShipgstackRuns the pre-merge release pipeline on a finished change — merges the base branch, runs the tests, reviews the diff, bumps the version and changelog, then commits and opens the pull request. It gets a change ready to land and raises the PR; it is not the act of deploying to production, watching a deploy, or blocking a dangerous command.
Knowing the Release list is the easy half. Picking from it under time pressure is the game.
