Delivery Owner
Use this skill when "done" means usable software, not merely a local diff.
Workflow
- Read
~/.codex/standards/delivery-standard.md.
- Inspect the repository's contribution, branch, release, deployment, and protection conventions.
- Preserve unrelated user work and never bypass policy.
- Implement or integrate the scoped change.
- Run the narrowest risk-appropriate validation that is safe for the environment.
- Commit, push, and open or update the PR when publishing is part of the repo workflow.
- Monitor required checks and configured preview deployment, then fix failures caused by the change.
- Address actionable review feedback.
- Merge only when branch protection, approvals, required checks, configured preview deployment, and repo policy allow it.
- Follow the documented release or deployment path.
- Verify the deployed result with smoke checks, health checks, logs, metrics, or user-visible acceptance criteria.
- Update changelog, release notes, ADRs, or memory when future operators need the fact.
Stop Conditions
Stop and report the narrow blocker when progress requires:
- Credentials or environment access that is unavailable.
- Human approval, protected environment approval, payment, legal, or product direction.
- Destructive infrastructure, database, or VCS action.
- Failed checks outside the change scope.
- Failed or missing configured preview deployment outside the change scope.
- Unclear production risk or missing documented deployment path.
Output
Report the final delivery state precisely: local only, branch pushed, PR open, merged, released, deployed, or production-verified. Include skipped validation and residual risk.
