writing-promql-and-logql

writing-promql-and-logql is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Consensys/ask-o11y-plugin. It costs 57 tokens per session (257 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing PromQL and LogQL queries. PromQL searches Prometheus or Mimir time-series metrics, while LogQL searches Loki logs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write metric queries, search logs, analyse graphs, or prepare queries for dashboards and alerts.
Why use it?
It helps avoid slow, overly broad searches and choosing the wrong kind of data. It also gives a way to discover available labels in an unfamiliar monitoring system.

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

writing-promql-and-logql 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

PromQL

  • Use rate() for counters, never raw counter values
  • Aggregate before rate() for efficiency
  • Use label matchers to reduce cardinality
  • Start with short time ranges, expand if needed

See references/promql.md for the full guide — counter, gauge, and histogram patterns, aggregation pitfalls, and worked examples.

LogQL

  • Start with label filters, add line filters second
  • Use JSON parsing only when needed

See references/logql.md for the full guide, including the label-discovery workflow for unfamiliar clusters.

Choosing signal

Prefer the cheapest signal that answers the question: metrics for trends and aggregates, logs for events and errors, traces for request-level latency and causality. Do not query all three when one answers the question directly.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
