- [ ] On-call team notified
### Deploy
- [ ] Deploy to staging and verify

Tell me about your deploy and I'll customize the checklist:
- "We use feature flags" → adds flag verification steps
- "This includes a database migration" → adds migration-specific checks
- "This is a breaking API change" → adds consumer notification steps
If Connectors Available
If ~~source control is connected:
- Pull the release diff and list of changes
- Verify all PRs are approved and merged
If ~~CI/CD is connected:
- Check build and test status automatically
- Verify pipeline is green before deploy
If ~~monitoring is connected:
- Pre-fill rollback trigger thresholds from current baselines
- Set up post-deploy metric watch
Tips
- Run before every deploy — Even routine ones. Checklists prevent "I forgot to..."
- Customize once, reuse — Tell me your stack and I'll remember your deploy process.
- Include rollback criteria — Decide when to roll back before you deploy, not during.
