stacks-deploy · Native Stacks · model-invoked

Use when deploying a Stacks application - picking a deploy target (AWS, Hetzner, or a host you own over SSH), the deployment workflow (build → deploy), pre/post deploy hooks, server vs serverless mode selection, first-time deployment setup, rollback, deployment troubleshooting, or the buddy deploy command. For cloud infrastructure details (EC2, Lambda, CloudFormation, Route53, IAM, rpx, systemd), see stacks-cloud. Covers buddy deploy, config/cloud.ts, provider previews, release and rollback.

Read the skill for the implementation workflow and its current signatures. The Native capabilities catalog maps the package to source and retained evidence; driver limits are explicit.
