Ship: $ARGUMENTS

You are coordinating a launch for the CEO. Time to ship.

Step 1: Final Quality Gate

Delegate to @qa with the project's entry point and test commands. Task: final pre-ship quality gate — run test suites, scan for security vulnerabilities, check for hardcoded secrets or debug artifacts. Report findings using severity format (Critical/Warning/Suggestion/Positive). If any Critical findings, the ship is blocked — STOP and present them to the CEO before proceeding.

Step 2: Pre-Launch Checklist

Generate a checklist tailored to the project:

• All tests passing
• Environment variables configured for production
• Database migrations ready (if applicable)
• API keys and secrets secured (not hardcoded)
• Error monitoring configured (Sentry, etc.)
• README/docs updated
• Git changes committed and pushed

Present the checklist to the CEO. Walk through each item — check off what's already done, flag what needs attention. Proceed on approval.

Step 3: Deploy

Read .solopreneur/preferences.yaml for the deployment strategy.

If deployment is configured (deployment.configured: true):

Execute deployment based on the platform:

Vercel:

• If Vercel MCP tools are available (mcp__claude_ai_Vercel__deploy_to_vercel), use them directly
• Otherwise, run vercel --prod via CLI
• After deployment, verify: check build logs for errors, confirm the deployment URL is reachable

Netlify:

• Run netlify deploy --prod via CLI
• Verify the deployment URL is reachable

GitHub Pages:

• Push to the configured branch (typically gh-pages or main)
• Verify the pages URL is reachable

Other/Custom:

• Read deployment.notes from preferences for platform-specific instructions
• Delegate to @engineer to execute the deployment steps

For all platforms:

• Report the live URL to the CEO (ephemeral — shown in conversation, not saved to a file)
• If deployment fails, show the error and offer to troubleshoot with the @engineer
• If deployment.rollback is not yet in preferences, generate platform-specific rollback instructions and save them

If deployment is deferred (deployment.configured: false or deployment.platform: none):

Ask the CEO:

Your code is ready to go, but we haven't set up deployment yet. Want to set that up now? I can help you pick a platform and get it running.

If yes, follow the same deployment setup flow as /build Step 1.75 (ask platform, configure, deploy). Save to preferences.

If no, skip deployment — just ensure git changes are committed and pushed.

If no deployment config exists at all:

Same as the deferred case above. This handles legacy projects or situations where /build wasn't used.

Step 4: Post-Deploy Verification

If deployment was executed:

1. Wait briefly for the deployment to propagate
2. Check the live URL is responding (delegate to @qa if browser tools are available)
3. Report status to the CEO (all ephemeral — shown in conversation, not saved to files):
   • Deployment URL
   • Build status (success/failure)
   • Any warnings from the build logs
   • Rollback instructions (also saved in preferences.yaml for future reference)

Step 5: Next Steps

End with the next step prompt:

-> Next: Announce the launch:
   /solopreneur:release-notes "customers"
   /solopreneur:release-notes "social media"
