# Prepare the merge and deploy steps

Get the ordered landing commands, their preconditions, and the recovery step for the first failure.

## Prompt

Claude Code:

```text
/land Prepare the landing sequence for the billing changes on this branch, with the recovery step if the deploy fails.
```

If /land runs another command, use /planr:land.

Codex:

```text
$land Prepare the landing sequence for the billing changes on this branch, with the recovery step if the deploy fails.
```

With the OpenPlanr plugin for Codex, use $planr:land.

Cursor:

```text
@planr-land Prepare the landing sequence for the billing changes on this branch, with the recovery step if the deploy fails.
```

Cursor applies the planr-land rule when you mention it in chat.

Parts to fill in, shown with their example text:

- The work to land: the billing changes on this branch

## Why this works

Land returns readiness, blockers, the ordered landing sequence with its preconditions, recovery guidance for the first meaningful failure, and one next action. The commands are prepared for you to run, not run by the skill.
