Plugin Claude Code
Skills, agents, and workflows for Honeycomb observability — query patterns, production investigations, SLOs, OpenTelemetry instrumentation, and Beeline migration. Designed to complement the Honeycomb MCP server.
Agent
Use this agent when the user needs an autonomous, multi-step investigation of a production issue using Honeycomb. Examples: Context: User received a PagerDuty alert about high latency user: "Our checkout API is slow, can you investigate using Honeycomb?" assistant: "I'll use the honeycomb-investigator agent to run a…
Agent
Use this agent when the user wants to improve their application's observability by analyzing their codebase against what Honeycomb actually receives. This agent autonomously scans code, queries Honeycomb for existing coverage, and produces a prioritized gap analysis with ready-to-apply code. Unlike the…
Command
Set up the Honeycomb MCP server connection for Claude Code.
Hook
Runs after a tool call finishes for mcp__.*__find_columns, mcp__.*__get_dataset_columns and mcp__.*__get_dataset tool calls, executing cache-columns.sh via bash. From honeycombio/agent-skill.
Hook
Runs before the agent uses a tool for mcp__.*__run_query tool calls, executing validate-query.sh via bash. From honeycombio/agent-skill.

How to query OpenTelemetry metrics datasets in Honeycomb correctly. Metrics datasets follow different rules from trace/event datasets — many operations (bare COUNT, RATESUM, RATEAVG, RATEMAX, CONCURRENCY) are forbidden, temporal aggregation is automatic, and each metric has its own attributes. Use this skill when…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
First principles behind observability — wide events, high cardinality, the core analysis loop, events vs metrics vs logs, and how instrumentation connects to debugging outcomes. Grounds recommendations in first principles rather than tool-specific how-to. Trigger phrases: "what is observability", "why observability"…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Guides instrumentation of GenAI/LLM applications with OpenTelemetry for Honeycomb, including content capture and agent failure detection. Trigger phrases: "instrument my GenAI app", "add tracing to LLM calls", "trace AI agent", "instrument OpenAI", "instrument Anthropic", "GenAI observability", "trace tool calling"…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Provides guidance on OpenTelemetry SDK setup, custom instrumentation, and sending data to Honeycomb. Trigger phrases: "instrument my app", "add tracing", "set up OpenTelemetry", "configure OTel", "add custom spans", "add attributes to spans", "send traces to Honeycomb", "set up OTLP", "configure sampling", "add span…

Guide for retrofitting OpenTelemetry into an existing, uninstrumented application. Trigger phrases: "migrate existing app to OTel", "add OpenTelemetry to existing project", "retrofit OTel into my codebase", "thread context through my code", "context propagation", "bridge Prometheus metrics to OTel", "logging bridge"…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Structured workflows for investigating production issues in Honeycomb — the sequence of tool calls (context priming, broad query, BubbleUp, trace analysis, verification) and how to chain results between steps to reach root causes. Trigger phrases: "investigate production issue", "debug latency spike", "find root…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Opinionated guidance for constructing and interpreting Honeycomb queries on trace and event datasets — operation selection (percentiles not AVG, HEATMAP for distributions), relational field patterns (root., parent., any., none.), calculated fields, query math, and result interpretation (P99/P50 ratios, heatmap bands…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Decision heuristics for interpreting Honeycomb SLO compliance, budget burn rates, and trigger status — what the numbers mean and what action to take, including detecting misconfigured SLIs, deciding when to freeze deploys vs page on-call, and designing burn alert thresholds. Load this skill before calling getslos or…

Find a recent trace in Honeycomb, to see what happened in a recent test. Use when asked to "verify in Honeycomb", "find the most recent trace", or "show me the trace".
