Is release 4.12.0 safe?
find_releasesfind_issuesfind_errorsfind_transactions+1 moreWatch, close to roll back. 4.12.0 has 3 new issues; one (CartSummary TypeError) hits 318 users in checkout. Errors per user are up 2.1x against 4.11.3 over the first 6 hours. Checkout p95 is unchanged. If the coupon fix cannot ship today, roll back.
The SKILL.md file
name: sentry-release-healthCheck a release in Sentry after deploy for new issues, regressions, error spikes and slower transactions, and compare it with the previous release to decide whether it is safe or needs a rollback. Use when the user asks how a release or deploy is doing, whether it broke anything, or whether to roll back.
Read-only.
Steps
- Find the release with
find_releases, defaulting to the latest in production, and the release before it. - New problems:
find_issueswithfirstSeeninside the release window andrelease:<version>. Separate brand-new issues from regressions, which are resolved issues that came back. - Volume:
find_errorsfor the error count and users affected in this release against the previous one over the same length of time after deploy. - Performance:
find_transactionsfor the slowest or most-changed endpoints and pages, with p75 or p95 duration before and after. - Open the top two or three new issues with
get_issue_detailsto judge their severity: a crash in checkout outweighs a noisy console warning.
Verdict
- Healthy, watch or roll back, with the one or two facts that decide it.
- New issues and regressions, by users affected.
- Performance changes over about 20%.
- Anything you could not measure because there was too little traffic yet.

FAQ
Does it need release tracking set up?
Yes. Sentry must receive release versions from your deploys. Without them it can only compare time windows.
Can it roll back for me?
No. It gives the verdict; rolling back happens in your deploy tool.
