observability-reliability

observability-reliability is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from baphuongna/pi-crew. It costs 22 tokens per session (571 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for making software easier to monitor and recover when something goes wrong. It covers measurements, diagnostic information, request tracking, retries, failed-work queues, and recovery records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding metrics, logs, diagnostics, retry behavior, dead-letter handling, health checks, or recovery procedures.
Why use it?
It helps teams investigate failures without exposing secrets, connect related events, and distinguish temporary problems from work that needs manual attention.

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-reliability 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 7d 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-reliability

Use this skill for reliability and observability work.

Source patterns distilled

  • src/observability/* — metric registry, retention, sinks, exporters, event-to-metric mapping
  • src/runtime/retry-executor.ts, deadletter.ts, diagnostic-export.ts, recovery-recipes.ts, overflow-recovery.ts, heartbeat-gradient.ts
  • docs/research-phase9-observability-reliability-plan.md

Rules

  • Metrics should be per-session/per-registry where possible; avoid hidden global singletons.
  • Use low-cardinality labels. Avoid raw task titles, prompts, full file paths, or secrets in metric labels.
  • Redact secrets before writing logs, events, diagnostics, agent output, or exported bundles.
  • Correlate events with runId/taskId and timestamps; include enough context for postmortem without exposing secrets.
  • Retry should record attempts and deadletter on exhaustion; default auto-retry should remain conservative.
  • Diagnostics should be safe to share: include state summary, recent events, metrics snapshot when available, and paths to artifacts.
  • Heartbeat classification should be threshold-based and should ignore terminal tasks/runs.
  • Overflow recovery should track phase progression and terminal states without repeatedly alerting on completed work.

Enforcement — Observability Reliability Gate

Before emitting metrics or implementing retry, verify:

  • Metric labels are low-cardinality (no raw paths, prompts, or secrets)
  • Secrets redacted before writing logs, events, diagnostics, or bundles
  • Retry records attempts and deadletters on exhaustion
  • Diagnostics are safe to share (no secrets, no raw sensitive data)
  • Heartbeat thresholds ignore terminal tasks/runs

If ANY answer is NO → Stop. Fix observability issues before proceeding.

Anti-patterns

  • High-cardinality Prometheus labels.
  • Emitting duplicate noisy health notifications every render tick.
  • Writing unredacted Authorization/API key/token values into events or artifacts.
  • Treating secondary metrics as primary pass/fail unless catastrophic.

observability-reliability is a skill published in the GitHub repository baphuongna/pi-crew (51 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 571 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
