Deploy Validate Skill

Pre-deployment validation and readiness assessment. Ensures everything is in order before deploying.

Overview

Trigger: /popkit-ops:deploy validate or before any deployment execution

Purpose: Run comprehensive checks against the project and deployment configuration to catch issues before they reach production. Produces a go/no-go recommendation with a readiness score.

Critical Rules

1. NEVER skip validation before production deploys - Validation is mandatory
2. ALWAYS report ALL failures - Don't stop at first failure
3. ALWAYS use AskUserQuestion for scope and post-validation decisions
4. Blocking failures must block deployment - No overriding critical failures
5. Non-blocking warnings should be surfaced - Let user decide on warnings

Required Decision Points

Step	When	Decision ID
1	Before validation	scope_level
2	After results	proceed_action

Skipping these violates PopKit UX standard.

Validation Checks

Quick Checks (always run)

Check	Description	Blocking
Config exists	deploy.json present and valid	Yes
Target config	All enabled targets have required fields	Yes
Version check	Version field present and valid	Yes
Git status	Working directory clean (no uncommitted changes)	Warning

Standard Checks (default)

Check	Description	Blocking
Build	Project builds successfully	Yes
Tests	Test suite passes	Yes
Dependencies	No known vulnerable dependencies
