delivery-autopilot

name	delivery-autopilot
description	Use when an approved feature or fix should progress to production through governed automation with minimal human intervention. USE FOR: approve-once delivery orchestration, deterministic dry-run rehearsal of status/merge/escalation logic, and policy-aligned remediation payload generation for blocked stages. DO NOT USE FOR: bypassing branch protection or approval boundaries, replacing implementation agents for code changes, or manual one-off deployment operations.

Delivery Autopilot Skill

Use this skill to run approve-once automation loops with deterministic helper scripts and workflow handoff contracts.

Inputs

1. repo: owner/repo
2. issue_number and/or pr_number
3. required_checks: list of required check contexts
4. dry_run: boolean

Script Pipeline

1. scripts/delivery-autopilot/evaluate-status.ps1
2. scripts/delivery-autopilot/execute-merge.ps1
3. scripts/delivery-autopilot/build-escalation-payload.ps1

All scripts support deterministic -DryRun mode and JSON outputs for workflow handoff.

Integration Path

1. pr-auto-merge-executor.yml consumes merge-readiness posture.
2. post-merge-release-chain.yml consumes merge results to dispatch release gate workflow.
3. automation-stuck-state-watchdog.yml consumes escalation payload data when SLA stages stall.

Output Contract

• test-results/delivery-autopilot/status-summary.json
• test-results/delivery-autopilot/merge-result.json
• test-results/delivery-autopilot/escalation-payload.json
