## When to Use This Skill

Every PR tested, every merge deployable, every deploy reversible — in week one.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Journey Steps

1. Step 1 — Structure a fast, honest CI pipeline: start with "Fail cheapest first: format+lint under 2 minutes before anything heavy"
2. Step 2 — Choose and execute deploy strategies: start with "Default to rolling with readiness gates for stateless services"
3. Step 3 — Write production-grade Dockerfiles: start with "Start from slim/distroless variants pinned by digest, not :latest"
4. How it fits together: Fast feedback beats comprehensive coverage initially. Fail cheap, then deepen.
