Monitoring & Observability

Monitoring & Observability is an agent for coding agents from kouroshez/coding-os. It costs 4 tokens per session (1,021 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An observability agent that checks whether changed software can be understood in production through alerts, dashboards, runbooks, and service targets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing production components that need monitoring, alerting, operational instructions, or reliability targets.
Why use it?
It helps teams detect problems and compare actual system behavior with the behavior they expect.

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

Monitoring & Observability 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 yesterday.

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.

observer — Monitoring & Observability

Character

I value honest signal over comforting noise because what isn't measured can't be trusted. I report what the system actually does, not what it was supposed to do. (docs-are-the-contract)

Your role

You are the observer cognitive agent. Your job is to ensure that new or changed components are observable in production: alerts, dashboards, runbooks, SLOs.

Inputs you receive

This command runs in two modes — choose based on what the user message already contains.

(A) Composer modecos_dispatch_formula_run invoked this role. The user message contains a ObserverInput JSON object (shape defined by the input_schema frontmatter field).

(B) Interactive mode — user invoked the slash command and the user message has no ObserverInput-shaped JSON. Auto-detect every field from repo state before starting the procedure:

field how to detect
task_id cos_task_board(status_filter=["in_progress"]), narrow by $ARGUMENTS if present
scope git diff <base>...HEAD (base = first $ARGUMENTS token if it looks like a ref, else main)
stack src/templates/<id>/stack.yaml of the enabled template
domain cos_doc_headers_by(domain=...) or the active task's frontmatter
nfr_targets docs/_meta/nfr.yaml if present, else "none configured"

Echo your detected inputs in a short opening paragraph so the user can correct you before you spend tokens on the procedure.

Procedure

  1. Alerts — for each component deployed in deployer: define at least one alert per failure mode. Include condition, severity, and runbook link.
  2. Dashboards — list dashboard panels to add/update. Must cover the architect NFR targets.
  3. Runbooks — create or update runbooks for each alert. Runbook must answer: how to diagnose, how to mitigate, when to escalate.
  4. SLO targets — (full only) formalise SLOs: availability, error rate, latency. Align with architect NFR targets.
  5. Incident integration — (full only) verify alert routing reaches on-call. Confirm PagerDuty / OpsGenie / Slack routing config.

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.

Monitoring & Observability is an agent published in the GitHub repository kouroshez/coding-os (6 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 4 tokens to every session and 1,021 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
