orchestrating-deployment-pipelines
tessl i github:jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill orchestrating-deployment-pipelinesDeploy use when you need to work with deployment and CI/CD. This skill provides deployment automation and orchestration with comprehensive guidance and automation. Trigger with phrases like "deploy application", "create pipeline", or "automate deployment".
Validation
81%| Criteria | Description | Result |

allowed_tools_field | 'allowed-tools' contains unusual tool name(s) | Warning |
metadata_version | 'metadata' field is not a dictionary | Warning |
frontmatter_unknown_keys | Unknown frontmatter key(s) found; consider removing or moving to metadata | Warning |

Implementation
20%This skill is a generic template with no deployment-specific content. It reads like a project management checklist rather than actionable deployment guidance. There are no concrete tools (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD platforms), no executable commands, and no real examples—just abstract process steps that Claude could generate without any skill file.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable examples for at least one deployment target (e.g., Docker Compose, Kubernetes manifests, GitHub Actions workflow, or Terraform commands)
Replace generic steps like 'Execute implementation' with specific commands such as 'kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml' or 'docker-compose up -d'
Include actual validation commands with expected outputs (e.g., 'kubectl rollout status deployment/app --timeout=300s' should return 'successfully rolled out')
Remove the verbose prerequisites and generic error handling sections—Claude knows to check permissions and handle network errors. Focus on deployment-specific gotchas and recovery procedures.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Extremely verbose with generic boilerplate that Claude already knows. Phrases like 'Review current configuration, setup, and baseline metrics' and 'Identify specific requirements, goals, and constraints' are vague filler that add no deployment-specific value. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | No concrete code, commands, or executable examples anywhere. Every instruction is abstract ('Execute implementation', 'Run comprehensive tests') with no specific tools, scripts, or deployment commands provided. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are sequenced logically (assess → design → implement → validate → deploy) with some validation checkpoints mentioned, but the steps are so generic they could apply to any task. No specific validation commands or feedback loops for deployment failures. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References external files (templates, docs, examples) which is good structure, but the main content is a wall of generic text. The referenced files use placeholder paths ({baseDir}) and may not exist, making navigation unclear. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 6 / 12 Passed |
Activation
40%This description suffers from vague, buzzword-heavy language ('comprehensive guidance and automation') without specifying concrete capabilities. While it includes trigger phrases and a 'Use when' clause, the lack of specific actions makes it difficult to understand what the skill actually does. The description would benefit from listing concrete deployment tasks and expanding trigger term coverage.
Suggestions
Replace vague phrases like 'comprehensive guidance and automation' with specific actions such as 'configure CI/CD pipelines, manage deployment rollbacks, set up staging environments, integrate with GitHub Actions/Jenkins'
Expand trigger terms to include common variations: 'CI/CD', 'release', 'push to production', 'staging', 'rollback', and specific platform names users might mention
Clarify the 'what' by listing 3-5 concrete tasks the skill performs rather than abstract capabilities
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description uses vague language like 'deployment automation and orchestration' and 'comprehensive guidance' without listing concrete actions. No specific capabilities like 'configure CI/CD pipelines', 'manage rollbacks', or 'set up staging environments' are mentioned. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | Has a 'Use when' clause and trigger phrases addressing 'when', but the 'what' is extremely vague ('comprehensive guidance and automation'). The description doesn't clearly explain what specific tasks the skill actually performs. | 2 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes some relevant trigger phrases ('deploy application', 'create pipeline', 'automate deployment') but misses common variations users might say like 'CI/CD', 'release', 'push to production', 'GitHub Actions', 'Jenkins', or specific platform names. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The focus on 'deployment and CI/CD' provides some niche, but terms like 'automation' and 'orchestration' are generic enough to potentially overlap with infrastructure, DevOps, or general automation skills. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 7 / 12 Passed |
