SUMMARY

What it does

This skill provides architecture patterns for designing multi-stage CI/CD pipelines with approval gates, security checks, and deployment orchestration. It covers pipeline structure, deployment strategies (canary, blue-green, rolling), health check setup, gate definitions, and rollback plans. The skill is intended for use when designing zero-downtime deployment pipelines, implementing canary rollout strategies, setting up multi-environment promotion workflows, or debugging failed deployment gates in CI/CD. Evidence is based on the source record and inspection of the SKILL.md file, which includes troubleshooting guidance and references to advanced topics.
