Ship

Effect

Run quality checks, deploy, and retrospective in a 7-phase pipeline, end to end. No stopping midway.

When to Use

• When a feature is complete and ready to ship to production
• When you want to impose structure on the “is it ready to ship?” decision

How It Works

Phase 1: Devil

Quality + security review. Crush concerns to zero.

Phase 2: Test

Run automated tests. Verify coverage.

Phase 3: Document

Update design docs and ctx. Record what changed.

Phase 4: Commit

Craft a meaningful commit message. Preserve the “why” behind the change.

Phase 5: Deploy

Build → deploy → smoke test.

Phase 6: Verify

Production smoke check. Confirm it behaves as intended.

Phase 7: Reflect

Record the outcome. Update session context + accumulate learnings.
