SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deciding whether a new software release is safe to continue rolling out is hard when error data is noisy, rollouts are incomplete, or instrumentation is missing. This Skill turns raw Sentry signals into an evidence-based release health verdict so teams avoid both false alarms and missed regressions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Release Comparison: Compares a target release against the previous stable release over equivalent time windows in the production environment.
  • Regression Detection: Reports new and regressed issues, affected user counts, severity, and high-confidence change points.
  • Evidence-Based Recommendations: Distinguishes incomplete rollouts, low traffic, and missing instrumentation from genuinely healthy behavior, and only recommends continue, monitor, pause, or rollback when the evidence supports it.
  • Use Case: After deploying version 2.4.0 to 20% of users, ask the agent to compare its Sentry error rates and regressions against 2.3.x and receive a grounded recommendation on whether to continue the rollout.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to assess the release health of version 2.4.0 in production using Sentry data and compare it with the previous stable release.

Frequently Asked Questions about sentry-release-health

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check release health in Sentry?▼

Resolve the exact release and production environment, then compare its errors, regressions, and affected users against the previous stable release over equivalent time windows. Base any continue, pause, or rollback decision only on that evidence.

How to compare a new release with a previous stable release in Sentry?▼

Select the prior relevant stable release and compare both over equivalent windows, examining new and regressed issues, affected user counts, severity, and high-confidence change points. This isolates regressions introduced by the new release.

Does zero Sentry events mean my release is safe?▼

No. Zero events can indicate incomplete rollout, low traffic, or missing instrumentation rather than healthy behavior. A release should never be declared safe solely because no events were returned.

When should I roll back a release based on Sentry data?▼

Rollback is recommended only when evidence supports it, such as new high-severity regressions or significant affected-user growth versus the stable baseline. Otherwise the appropriate action may be to continue or monitor.

Why does release health analysis give misleading results during partial rollouts?▼

During incomplete rollouts, low traffic volumes make error counts and affected-user numbers unrepresentative of full deployment. The analysis explicitly distinguishes these conditions from genuinely healthy behavior before drawing conclusions.
