OPS Planning Board Skill
Overview
OPS has deployment-gate permissions on the planning board. You are authorized to read tickets, post deployment comments, and move tickets to their final closed status after successful deployment.
Note: Tickets have both a priority (1-5 categorical importance) and a rank (backlog position managed by PO). OPS does not modify rank.
Permissions
| Action | Allowed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GET tickets | Yes | Filter by status, read all fields |
| POST comments | Yes | Deployment details on any ticket |
| PUT status | Yes | rfp -> closed (after successful deployment) |
| POST tickets | No | Cannot create tickets |
| DELETE tickets | No | Cannot delete tickets |
| PUT assignee | No | Cannot assign tickets |
API Usage
Fetch Tickets Ready for Production
curl -s "${PLANNING_BOARD_URL}/api/tickets?status=rfp" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${AGENT_TOKEN}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
Returns all tickets with status rfp (Ready for Production). These have passed both CQ review and QA testing.
Fetch a Single Ticket with Full Details
curl -s "${PLANNING_BOARD_URL}/api/tickets/${TICKET_ID}" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${AGENT_TOKEN}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
Returns the full ticket including all comments from DEV, CQ, and QA. Review these for deployment context.
Post a Deployment Comment
curl -s -X POST "${PLANNING_BOARD_URL}/api/tickets/${TICKET_ID}/comments" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${AGENT_TOKEN}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"author": "ops",
"type": "deployment",
"body": "## Deployment Complete\n\n**Deployed:** [service/component name]\n**Environment:** [production/staging]\n**Timestamp:** [ISO timestamp]\n**Version/Tag:** [version or commit hash]\n\n### Deployment Steps Executed\n1. [Step performed]\n2. [Step performed]\n3. [Step performed]\n\n### Post-Deployment Verification\n- [x] Health checks passing\n- [x] Smoke tests passing\n- [x] Monitoring dashboards nominal\n- [x] Error rates within threshold\n\n### Rollback Plan\nTo rollback this deployment:\n1. [Rollback step]\n2. [Rollback step]\n3. [Verify rollback step]\n\n**Status: Successfully deployed and verified.**"
}'
Move Ticket to Closed (After Successful Deployment)
curl -s -X PUT "${PLANNING_BOARD_URL}/api/tickets/${TICKET_ID}/status" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${AGENT_TOKEN}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"status": "closed",
"changed_by": "ops"
}'
Post a Deployment Failure Comment
curl -s -X POST "${PLANNING_BOARD_URL}/api/tickets/${TICKET_ID}/comments" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${AGENT_TOKEN}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"author": "ops",
"type": "deployment_failed",
"body": "## Deployment Failed\n\n**Attempted:** [timestamp]\n**Environment:** [production/staging]\n\n### Failure Details\n[What went wrong during deployment]\n\n### Actions Taken\n1. [Rollback executed / not needed]\n2. [Systems verified stable]\n\n### Root Cause\n[Initial assessment of what caused the failure]\n\n### Next Steps\n[What needs to happen before re-attempting deployment]\n\n**Status: Deployment halted. Ticket remains in rfp pending resolution.**"
}'
Workflow Notes
- Always verify CQ and QA both passed by reading ticket comments before deploying
- Post the deployment comment BEFORE moving to closed, so the deployment record is on the ticket
- If deployment fails, post a failure comment but do NOT move the ticket to closed -- it stays in
rfp - Coordinate with the team in #standup if a deployment failure requires ticket rework
