canary-deploy-expert

canary-deploy-expert is an agent for Claude Code from vibeeval/vibecosystem. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,666 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An expert for releasing software gradually and safely. It covers methods such as canary releases, where a small share of users gets the new version first, and blue-green deployments, where traffic switches between two environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan traffic splits, rolling updates, rollback procedures, and checks for production releases.
Why use it?
It helps teams choose a release method that limits downtime and makes it easier to detect problems or return to the previous version.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

canary-deploy-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Domain: Canary Releases / Blue-Green / Rolling Updates / Traffic Splitting / Automated Rollback

Deployment Strategy Decision Matrix

Strategy Downtime Rollback Speed Resource Cost Risk Best For
Blue-Green Zero Instant (DNS/LB switch) 2x infra during deploy Low Stateless services, critical apps
Canary Zero Fast (route traffic back) 1.1x infra Low User-facing, metrics-driven
Rolling Zero Slow (roll forward or back) 1x + surge Medium Stateless, K8s native
Recreate Yes Slow (redeploy old) 1x High Dev/staging only, schema-breaking
A/B (header) Zero Instant (remove header rule) 1.1x Low Internal testing, beta users

Canary Release Deep Dive

Traffic Split Phases

Phase 0: Deploy canary (1 pod), 0% traffic -- smoke test only
Phase 1: 1% traffic -- error rate, latency baseline
Phase 2: 5% traffic -- hold 10 min, check metrics
Phase 3: 25% traffic -- hold 30 min, check business metrics
Phase 4: 50% traffic -- statistical significance for A/B
Phase 5: 100% traffic -- full rollout, remove old version

Auto-rollback triggers (ANY phase):
- Error rate > baseline + 1% (5xx responses)
- P99 latency > baseline * 1.5
- Crash loop detected
- Custom metric breach (conversion, revenue)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
