Apply Michael T. Nygard-inspired production reliability rules when designing failure handling, timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, observability, or deployment behavior.

Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
A test case the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
We are preparing to ship a new user notification microservice to production next week. Can you generate a structured production readiness checklist covering telemetry, failure recovery strategies, and operational stability checks?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Recommends explicit timeouts on external integration calls | Missed | Passed |
| Recommends resource pool isolation per notification channel | Missed | Passed |
| Recommends backpressure mechanisms to handle traffic surges | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Use this skill when a task involves production reliability, integration failure, timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, bulkheads, backpressure, observability, capacity, deployment, or operational readiness.
Before making design or code decisions, read and apply release-it.mini.md. Use release-it.md only as a deeper reference when the mini rules are not enough for the current production-reliability tradeoff.
