# Post Change Monitor Planner

> Plan what should be watched after a change, rollout, or decision goes live. Use when the action is proceeding and the next need is to detect regressions, failures, or drift early enough to respond.

# Post-Change Monitor Planner

## Goal

Define the smallest useful monitoring set after a change.

This skill does not build monitoring systems. It decides what should be watched, what thresholds matter, and when to escalate.

## When To Use

- before rollout
- after a risky change is approved
- when rollback or mitigation depends on early detection

## Scope Boundaries

In scope:

- define what to monitor
- define threshold logic
- define escalation timing

Out of scope by default:

- full observability implementation
- long-term analytics strategy

## Workflow

1. State the change going live.
2. Identify likely regression surfaces.
3. Choose a small monitor set.
4. Define thresholds and observation window.
5. Define escalation owner or next action.

## Output Contract

1. `change_under_watch`
2. `monitor_set`
3. `thresholds`
4. `observation_window`
5. `escalation_rule`
6. `recommended_followup`
7. `next_step`

## Guardrails

- Do not monitor everything.
- Prefer early indicators tied to the main risk.
- Keep thresholds explicit enough to act on.
