In the week before any production launch — this checklist prevents the most common first-day production failures.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task. # Context - Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals - Category: DevOps & CI/CD - Use case: Production Readiness Checklist - Source task: - I am about to deploy {{describe_application}} to production for the first time. - Step 1: Checklist: generate a comprehensive production readiness checklist across: security, observability, reliability, performance, data, documentation, and operational readiness. - Step 2: Critical Gaps: for each section, identify the 2-3 items that, if missing, are most likely to cause a production incident in the first 30 days. - Step 3: Go/No-Go Decision: based on the checklist, define minimum criteria for a production launch vs. criteria that can be deferred. # Goal Full production readiness checklist, critical gap identification per section, and a Go/No-Go decision framework. # Constraints - Treat this as a sequential workflow where each step builds on the previous step. - Keep every step clearly labeled and easy to run separately if needed. - Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims. - Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use. # Output Full production readiness checklist, critical gap identification per section, and a Go/No-Go decision framework.

Treat production readiness as a team activity, not a solo review — different engineers will catch different gaps.
Debug this problem systematically. Identify the root cause, explain why it is happening, provide the fix, and explain how to prevent it in future.
Design the high-level architecture for this system. Cover components, data flow, scaling strategy, and key design decisions.
Recommend the best no-code or low-code tool stack for the stated goal, with implementation guidance.
Design the complete analysis approach for the stated question. Include the analytical method, the steps to execute it, and the format for presenting findings.
