Scenario

Deployments require systematic verification to prevent issues. Cowork can generate checklists tailored to your stack and create scripts to automate checks.

💬

Prompt

I'm deploying a Node.js application to production. Please create:

1. A pre-deployment checklist covering:
   - Code quality (tests, linting)
   - Security (dependencies, secrets)
   - Database (migrations, backups)
   - Infrastructure (resources, configs)
   - Monitoring (alerts, logging)

2. An automated verification script that checks:
   - All tests pass
   - No security vulnerabilities
   - Environment variables set
   - Database connectivity

3. A post-deployment verification checklist

Save to ~/Deployments/checklist/

Expected Result

Claude will generate: - Detailed Markdown format checklist - Automated verification script (checks tests, security vulnerabilities, environment variables, etc.) - Rollback plan and recovery procedures - Deployment steps and post-deployment verification checklist

💡

Tips

  • Integrate checklist into CI/CD pipeline with critical items as blockers
  • Always complete database backup before deployment
  • Customize checklist for your specific tech stack
