Agent Output Schema Evolution Framework for Production Safety
blaizedsouza · x · 2026-08-16
Presents a framework for evolving agent output schemas in production, covering 6 steps: versioning, supporting backward compatibility by default, providing migration paths for breaking changes, validating both old and new schemas during transitions, deprecating with timelines, and testing consumers against both versions. The core rule is treating schema changes with the same rigor as API changes. Pro tip: always add new fields as optional first.
