# Release It! Skill
Use this skill when a task involves production reliability, integration failure, timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, bulkheads, backpressure, observability, capacity, deployment, or operational readiness.
Before making design or code decisions, read and apply [release-it.mini.md](release-it.mini.md). Use [release-it.md](release-it.md) only as a deeper reference when the mini rules are not enough for the current production-reliability tradeoff.
