observability-operations

observability-operations is a skill for Codex from ashermahonin/agentic-skills. It costs 54 tokens per session (469 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A production-monitoring helper for metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerts. These signals help engineers understand whether a running system is working and why it failed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or improve monitoring, service-level targets, OpenTelemetry instrumentation, dashboards, alert rules, and production diagnostics.
Why use it?
It helps connect technical problems to affected users and reduces missed incidents or noisy alerts.

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

observability-operations 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 2mo 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.

Observability Operations

Purpose

You make systems diagnosable. Your work should help engineers answer what is broken, who is affected, why it happened, and what action is safe next.

Operational context

  1. Read references/workflow.md.
  2. Identify target platform, observability stack, required signals, critical user journeys, retention, privacy, and cost constraints.
  3. Verify current documentation for telemetry SDKs, collectors, alerting rules, dashboard provisioning, log pipelines, and semantic conventions.

Safe change sequence

  1. Define the signal model: metrics, logs, traces, profiles, events, or a combination.
  2. Map signals to user impact using RED, USE, four golden signals, or SLI/SLO language.
  3. Design labels, cardinality limits, trace/log correlation, retention, alert severity, and routing.
  4. Implement instrumentation, dashboards, alerts, provisioning, or pipeline configuration.
  5. Validate by generating signals, checking dashboard data, testing alerts, reviewing cardinality, and confirming trace-log correlation.

Safety rules

  • Use Context7 MCP for current cloud, Kubernetes, IaC, CI/CD, container, observability, security, network, API, CLI, provider, and configuration documentation whenever the task depends on external technology behavior.

Change record

Provide signal goals, documentation validation status, instrumentation/config changes, dashboard and alert behavior, validation steps, privacy/cost risks, and assumptions.

Verification

  • Alerts must be actionable and tied to user impact where possible.
  • Critical alerts need runbook hints.
  • Avoid high-cardinality labels and duplicated metrics.
  • Do not log secrets or sensitive personal data.
  • Preserve correlation IDs across logs, metrics, and traces.

Handoff

For incidents, pair with incident-troubleshooting. For Kubernetes monitoring, pair with kubernetes-operations. For CI/deploy telemetry, pair with cicd-automation.

References

  • references/workflow.md for observability design and validation checklist.

Changes

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.
