--- name: jazzyalex/deploy source: https://app.decimal.ai/s/jazzyalex-deploy@1/SKILL.md source_sha256: ebd97c01ddb9 --- # Deployment Skill (Agent Sessions) This skill is an agent-facing entrypoint that avoids duplicating the deployment runbook. ## Canonical Sources (Single Source of Truth) - Runbook: `docs/deployment.md` - Unified tool: `tools/release/deploy` (see `tools/release/deploy --help`) - Recommended pre-release QA checklist: `docs/release/pre-release-qa.md` If anything here disagrees with the runbook, follow `docs/deployment.md`. ## Workspace Policy (Hard Rule) - Always run deployment from the user's current local repository checkout. - Do not clone to temporary directories and do not switch to alternate worktrees as a deployment workaround. - If the local worktree is dirty, stop and tell the user to clean the tree first (commit, stash, or discard), then continue in the same local repo. ## QA Gate (Mandatory — Run Automatically Before Deploy) - **Always run QA automatically** before any bump/release/verify step, unless the user explicitly says to skip it (e.g. "skip QA", "no QA"). - Do not ask whether to run QA — just run it. - QA execution order: 1. **Scope** — `git log --oneline --decorate -n 30` and `git diff --name-only ..HEAD`; identify high-risk areas. 2. **Build** — `xcodebuild -project AgentSessions.xcodeproj -scheme AgentSessions -configuration Debug build` 3. **Full test suite** — `./scripts/xcode_test_stable.sh` 4. **Targeted tests** — run suites for touched high-risk areas (session parsing, usage tracking, onboarding, etc.) 5. **Warnings sweep** — flag any new actionable warnings in build output. 6. **Manual smoke reminder** — list the manual steps from `docs/release/pre-release-qa.md` §3–4 and ask the user to confirm GO/NO-GO after completing them. - If automated gates fail → stop, report failure, do not proceed to bump/release. - If user says "skip QA" or "no QA" → proceed without running, note it was skipped. ## Before Starting (Ask the User) 1. Target version (`X.Y` for major/minor releases, `X.Y.Z` only for patch releases; never ship `X.Y.0`) 2. Any headline changes (new agents, major features) that must be reflected in `docs/CHANGELOG.md` 3. Whether this is a major release that requires onboarding updates 4. Public copy updates needed for README/GitHub Pages (major changes to highlight, renamed features, or outdated wording to fix) **Do NOT ask about QA status** — QA always runs automatically as part of pre-deploy (see QA Gate above). ## Public Copy Update (Required for All Releases) ### Always update (every release) - `README.md` download link: `v{VERSION}/AgentSessions-{VERSION}.dmg` and label `Download Agent Sessions {VERSION} (DMG)` - `README.md` Option A download link (second occurrence under Install section) - `docs/index.html` download button URL and label - `docs/index.html` `` content (mention current version + key change) - `docs/index.html` `` content - `docs/index.html` `` content ### Update for minor/major or user-visible feature releases - `README.md` "What's New in X.Y" section: update heading to new version, rewrite TL;DR and Highlights to reflect this release's key changes (do not keep old version's copy) - `docs/index.html` hero/feature copy if features were renamed or new agents added ### Never add - Versioned "What's New in X.Y" section to `docs/index.html` - Detailed release notes to README or website (those live in `docs/CHANGELOG.md`) ### After pushing - Verify GitHub Pages reflects updated `docs/index.html` (check meta description and download button) ## Pre-Deploy Checklist (Run Before Bump) - [ ] `docs/CHANGELOG.md` `[Unreleased]` section has full, accurate content for this release (this is the only changelog — root `CHANGELOG.md` is a pointer to it, not a copy to sync) - [ ] README.md download links updated to new version (both occurrences) - [ ] README.md "What's New" section updated to new version heading + rewritten highlights - [ ] `docs/index.html` download button URL and label updated - [ ] `docs/index.html` meta description, og:description, twitter:description updated with version + key change - [ ] All above files committed before running `deploy bump` (or bump will overwrite) ## Sparkle Release Notes (Approval Gate) - The release pipeline generates **structured Sparkle notes** from `docs/CHANGELOG.md`: - Highlights or grouped current-release changes - Other changes (summary) - Reminder from the baseline release (for patch releases: `A.B`) - During `tools/release/deploy release `, the deploy script prints a **Sparkle release notes preview** after build/sign/notarization and appcast validation. - Treat the preview as user-facing product copy, not raw commit history: - Lead with the headline change the user should care about. - Do not include internal cleanup, validation fixes, or pre-release stabilization as “Bug Fixes” if users never received that broken behavior. - If the preview is misleading, stop and edit `docs/CHANGELOG.md` before publishing. - If `SKIP_CONFIRM` is not `1`, it will pause and ask for approval before publishing (pushing appcast, updating Homebrew, updating the GitHub release). - `SKIP_CONFIRM=1` requires `RELEASE_NOTES_REVIEWED=1` at the appcast publish gate; set it only after manually inspecting the Sparkle preview or for a rerun whose notes were already reviewed. - The notes generator fails before publishing if notes contain obvious internal/process wording or put Bug Fixes ahead of a headline section. - GitHub Release notes must use the same curated/linted notes as Sparkle, not raw commit history or raw changelog extraction. - If the current release has no structured bullets, the generator adds a fallback highlight: `Small bug fixes and stability improvements.` ## Standard Workflow (Use the Unified Tool) ```bash tools/release/deploy changelog [FROM_TAG] tools/release/deploy bump [patch|minor|major] git push origin main tools/release/deploy release [--dry-run] tools/release/deploy verify ``` ## Failure Handling - First stop: `docs/deployment.md` → Troubleshooting, logs, and rollback guidance. - Rollback only after reviewing logs: `tools/release/rollback-release.sh `.
