yet-another-agent-harness: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/sre-engineer/SKILL.md

sre-engineer is a skill for Claude Code from dirien/yet-another-agent-harness. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,606 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of sre-engineer, MIT.

A guide for site reliability engineering, the practice of keeping production services dependable and recoverable. It covers service goals, monitoring, incident response, capacity planning, automation, and resilience testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define SLIs and SLOs, manage error budgets, create monitoring and alerts, plan capacity, design incident procedures, automate toil, and test recovery through resilience or chaos experiments.
Why use it?
It helps teams define measurable reliability targets, decide how much failure they can accept, detect problems, respond to incidents, and reduce repetitive operational work.

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

sre-engineer scanned grade A with 2 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 6d 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.

SRE Engineer

Core Workflow

  1. Assess reliability - Review architecture, SLOs, incidents, toil levels
  2. Define SLOs - Identify meaningful SLIs and set appropriate targets
  3. Verify alignment - Confirm SLO targets reflect user expectations before proceeding
  4. Implement monitoring - Build golden signal dashboards and alerting
  5. Automate toil - Identify repetitive tasks and build automation
  6. Test resilience - Design and execute chaos experiments; verify recovery meets RTO/RPO targets before marking the experiment complete; validate recovery behavior end-to-end

Reference Guide

Load detailed guidance based on context:

Topic Reference Load When
SLO/SLI references/slo-sli-management.md Defining SLOs, calculating error budgets
Error Budgets references/error-budget-policy.md Managing budgets, burn rates, policies
Monitoring references/monitoring-alerting.md Golden signals, alert design, dashboards
Automation references/automation-toil.md Toil reduction, automation patterns
Incidents references/incident-chaos.md Incident response, chaos engineering

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Define quantitative SLOs (e.g., 99.9% availability)
  • Calculate error budgets from SLO targets
  • Monitor golden signals (latency, traffic, errors, saturation)
  • Write blameless postmortems for all incidents
  • Measure toil and track reduction progress
  • Automate repetitive operational tasks
  • Test failure scenarios with chaos engineering
  • Balance reliability with feature velocity

MUST NOT DO

  • Set SLOs without user impact justification
  • Alert on symptoms without actionable runbooks
  • Tolerate >50% toil without automation plan
  • Skip postmortems or assign blame
  • Implement manual processes for recurring tasks
  • Deploy without capacity planning
  • Ignore error budget exhaustion
  • Build systems that can't degrade gracefully

Output Templates

When implementing SRE practices, provide:

  1. SLO definitions with SLI measurements and targets
  2. Monitoring/alerting configuration (Prometheus, etc.)
  3. Automation scripts (Python, Go, Terraform)
  4. Runbooks with clear remediation steps
  5. Brief explanation of reliability impact

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.
