Deploy workflow

This skill deploys the application. It runs a series of checks before touching anything remote. If any step fails, it stops immediately and reports the failure. It does not retry automatically.

Step 1: Confirm no uncommitted changes

Run:

git status

If the output shows modified or untracked files, stop here. Report: “Deploy aborted: there are uncommitted changes. Commit or stash them before deploying.” Do not proceed.

Step 2: Run the test suite

Run:

npm test

If any test fails, stop here. Report which tests failed and do not proceed.

Step 3: Build the project

Run:

npm run build

If the build fails, stop here. Report the error output and do not proceed.

Step 4: Create a version tag

Read the current version from package.json:

cat package.json

Extract the version field. Create a git tag in the format v<version>-<YYYYMMDD>:

git tag v<version>-<YYYYMMDD>

For example, if the version is 2.3.1 and today is 2026-05-13, the tag is v2.3.1-20260513.

If a tag with that name already exists, append a counter: v2.3.1-20260513-2.

Step 5: Push the tag

Run:

git push origin <tag-name>

If the push fails, report the error. Do not retry.

Step 6: Report completion

Print a summary:

  • Tag name
  • Commit SHA the tag points to (git rev-parse HEAD)
  • Timestamp

Example output:

Deploy complete.
Tag: v2.3.1-20260513
