A deploy button is not enough. Know how to revert, restore data, and tell users what happened if the new build breaks.
- 1Name the job before naming the tool.
- 2Write the smallest useful scope the agent can finish.
- 3Run the result as a user, not as a fan of the tool.
- 4Inspect the diff, data access, and failure path before sharing.
Use this as the working prompt or checklist for the lesson.
Before deploying, write: last known good URL, database backup time, rollback command, who to notify, and what feature flag can turn the new feature off.- What should the user be able to do when this is finished?
- What data should the app or agent never expose?
- What test proves the change works?
- What rollback path exists if the output is wrong?
