An experienced engineer used an LLM to generate bash deployment scripts based on a manually defined structure and constraints, saving about an hour of typing time.

The approach resulted in reproducible deploy scripts with explicit control points and predictable failure behavior, improving deployment reliability without handing over control to the AI.
