Take a stack that already works under `flisk up` to DigitalOcean with that host's own tooling - App Platform, Droplets or Kubernetes. It maps each service.json (ports, health checks, dependencies, env) to production artifacts written for the host, never the local `.autogenerated/` files. Use when the user wants to ship a working Flisk stack to DigitalOcean. Flisk itself stays local; for Helm, Argo CD or Kustomize pipelines use flisk-helm.

# Deploy to DigitalOcean
Flisk is local-only. This skill covers deploying to DigitalOcean.
## Workflow
1. Confirm the stack works locally: `flisk doctor && flisk up <stack>`.
2. Extract the contract from service.json.
3. Preferred target: App Platform for simplicity, or Droplets/Kubernetes for more control.
4. Set environment variables and secrets in the DigitalOcean dashboard or via doctl.
5. Deploy and verify health endpoints.
## Guardrails
- Do not deploy local generated files.
- Keep production config separate from local service.json.
