configure-instrumentation

configure-instrumentation is a skill for Claude Code from laurigates/claude-plugins. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,975 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for observability: collecting traces, measurements, logs, and error reports from an application. It uses OpenTelemetry, structured logging, and Sentry.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add tracing, metrics, structured logs, error tracking, and standard environment settings for exporting telemetry.
Why use it?
It gives developers information about what an application is doing and where failures occur, instead of leaving them to guess from incomplete logs.

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

configure-instrumentation 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/configure-instrumentation.sh, scripts/tests/test-configure-instrumentation.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/configure:instrumentation

Check and upsert observability instrumentation — OpenTelemetry traces and metrics, structured logging, and error tracking — against project standards.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use another approach when...
Wiring up observability for a repo (traces, metrics, logs) in one pass Only Sentry error tracking is needed (use /configure:sentry)
Checking what instrumentation a project already has Debugging a live tracing/metrics pipeline (use the vendor's tools)
Adding vendor-neutral OpenTelemetry instead of a vendor-locked SDK Load-testing performance (use /configure:load-tests)
Adding structured logging (pino/winston, structlog/loguru) Profiling memory (use /configure:memory-profiling)
Standardizing OTEL_* env-var configuration and OTLP export Managing dashboards/alerts in Grafana or the vendor UI

What ships with it

3 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.
