/deploy-and-release
Release merged PRs to production.
Phase Intent
This phase handles the full release lifecycle: release candidate PRs, CI monitoring, QA verification, staging, and production deployment. Human checkpoints apply at QA approval and pipeline approvals.
Customize this phase for your deployment pipeline. If you have a release-manager agent, this phase wraps it. Otherwise, Gandalf coordinates the release directly.
Constraints
- NEVER skip human checkpoints -- QA approval required before production.
- NEVER deploy without CI green on the release branch.
- If the release process stalls, escalate to the user.
Workers
| Worker | subagent_type |
Mission |
|---|---|---|
| Gandalf | (orchestrator) | Coordinate the release |
| Smeagol | smeagol-the-pm |

Tip: If your project has a dedicated release-manager agent, add it here as the primary worker and make this phase a thin wrapper.
Done Criteria
Complete when: production is deployed and a report has been delivered to the user.
