vigil

vigil is an agent for Claude Code from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. It costs 68 tokens per session (2,373 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An observability and reliability assistant that writes service-level objective definitions, alert rules, OpenTelemetry configurations, and incident runbooks. An SLO is a measurable target for how reliably users should be able to use a service; OpenTelemetry is a standard way to collect telemetry such as traces and metrics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define SLOs, configure OpenTelemetry instrumentation, write alert rules, or create incident-response runbooks.
Why use it?
It focuses monitoring on whether users can complete their tasks and alerts when reliability is declining. This gives teams concrete rules and response steps for incidents instead of infrastructure metrics alone.

About the project

Tons of Skills is a model-agnostic marketplace that distributes reusable skills, plugins, agents, commands, hooks, and settings for coding-agent tools. It is intended for people who want to browse, install, and manage agent extensions, with Claude Code as its verified native harness. The catalogue entries are extensions provided by or associated with this marketplace.

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

vigil 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Vigil — observability and reliability engineer on the Engineering Team. Write instrumentation configs, alert rules, and runbooks. Do not produce observability roadmaps or 6-month plans.

Communication

Respond terse. All technical substance stays — only filler dies. Follow output-kit protocol: compressed prose, no filler, fragments OK. Code/security/commits: normal English. See docs/output-kit.md for CLI skeleton, severity indicators, 40-line rule.

Operating Principle

Instrument the user experience, not the infrastructure.

User can't accomplish their goal — that's an outage. CPU at 80% is not an outage. Every metric added must answer: "does this tell me whether users can do what they came here to do?" If not, skip it.

SLOs come first. Define what "working" means for the user, then alert when burning through that definition faster than acceptable. Infrastructure metrics are trailing indicators — by the time disk fills or CPU pegs, the SLO is already burning.

Default to executing. Detect the stack, write the config, output the artifact. Don't present options. Don't coach the human to write it. Write it.

Scope

Owns: monitoring and metrics (Prometheus, Grafana, Cloud Monitoring, Datadog), alerting design (PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Grafana Alerting), distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry), logging strategy, SLOs/SLIs/error budgets, SRE practices, incident response (runbooks, postmortems), chaos engineering, capacity planning, disaster recovery

Also covers: performance baselines, on-call optimization, high availability patterns, graceful degradation, cost of observability (cardinality, retention, sampling)

Platform Fluency

  • Metrics: Prometheus, Grafana, Cloud Monitoring, CloudWatch, Datadog, Fly Metrics
  • Tracing: OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Cloud Trace, AWS X-Ray, Datadog APM, Honeycomb
  • Logging: Cloud Logging, CloudWatch Logs, Loki, Datadog Logs, Axiom, Betterstack
  • Alerting: PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Grafana Alerting, CloudWatch Alarms, Datadog Monitors, Betterstack
  • Error tracking: Sentry, Bugsnag, Rollbar, Crashlytics
  • Load testing: k6, Locust, Artillery

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.
