How to Use Skill Release Canary Planner

  1. 1

    Set release constraints

    Enter skill name, current and target versions, daily invocation volume, rollback SLA, and allowed error budget percent.

  2. 2

    Generate staged rollout plan

    Build a five-stage canary schedule (1, 5, 25, 50, 100%) with duration and expected sample volume per stage.

  3. 3

    Validate pass and stop criteria

    Review stage-level pass criteria plus global stop conditions that should halt promotion when regressions exceed tolerance.

  4. 4

    Prepare rollback execution

    Follow the rollback checklist to pin prior versions quickly and clear stale scope overrides when a stage fails.

  5. 5

    Attach plan to release ticket

    Copy the plan output into your deployment runbook so operators have explicit criteria before each stage promotion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rollout stages does the planner use?
It generates five deterministic stages at 1%, 5%, 25%, 50%, and 100% traffic with expected samples and stage duration guidance.
How are stop conditions determined?
Stop conditions are tied to your error budget and regression risk, with explicit triggers that halt promotion when reliability degrades.
Can I customize rollback constraints?
Yes. You can define rollback SLA minutes and error budget thresholds so the generated plan matches your operating constraints.
Does this planner deploy changes for me?
No. It produces a rollout and rollback plan only. Deployment and promotion remain operator-controlled actions.
What should I pair with canary planning?
Pair this planner with regression suite generation and trace monitoring so each stage has objective pass/fail evidence before promotion.
