prd-v08-monitoring-setup

prd-v08-monitoring-setup is a skill for Claude Code from mattgierhart/PRD-driven-context-engineering. It costs 89 tokens per session (3,752 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A plan for watching a deployed software system through measurements, dashboards, service targets, and alerts. It covers signals such as errors, response time, traffic, and resource use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide what to monitor, define alert thresholds, set service-level objectives, plan dashboards, and route alerts to response procedures.
Why use it?
It turns system problems into visible warnings and defines when someone should respond. It also connects alerts to operational procedures and deployment rollback conditions.

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

prd-v08-monitoring-setup 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 448 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Monitoring Setup

Position in workflow: v0.8 Runbook Creation → v0.8 Monitoring Setup → v0.9 GTM Strategy

Execution Mode

Default is standard. See .claude/rules/08-skill-execution-modes.md for selection logic.

Mode What this skill produces
quick RED metrics on critical path only; 3–5 alerts linked to RUN-; single overview dashboard
standard RED + USE coverage; SLOs for tier-1 services; full alert routing to RUN-; dashboards by audience
deep Layered coverage (RED + USE + business + UX); multi-tier SLOs with error budgets; baseline calibration from staging; escalation routing

Consumes

This skill requires prior work from v0.8 Runbook Creation and earlier stages:

  • RUN-* runbook entries (from v0.8 Runbook Creation) — Incident response runbooks define alerting scenarios; critical alerts must link to RUN- procedures
  • DEP-* deployment entries (from v0.8 Release Planning) — DEP- rollback thresholds and post-deploy validation steps inform MON- alert conditions and SLO targets
  • API-* endpoint contracts (from v0.6 Technical Specification) — Define baseline latency, throughput, and error rates for application-layer metrics
  • KPI-* metrics (from v0.3 Outcome Definition and v0.9 Launch Metrics) — Business metrics (signups, conversions, retention) inform dashboard design and business layer monitoring
  • ARC-* architecture decisions (from v0.6 Architecture Design) — System structure determines which components to monitor (monolith has different metrics than distributed services)
  • TECH-* technology stack (from v0.5 Technical Stack Selection) — Technology choices (database, cloud provider, APM tools) determine available metrics and monitoring tools

This skill assumes DEP- and RUN- entries are complete with thresholds, rollback conditions, and incident procedures defined.

Produces

This skill creates/updates:

  • MON-* entries (monitoring specifications, metric/alert/dashboard/SLO types) — Concrete monitoring rules with thresholds, alert conditions, dashboards, SLO definitions, linked to RUN- procedures
  • Alert routing configuration — Mapping of MON- alerts to notification channels and teams; links alerts to RUN- incident procedures
  • Observability baseline — Metrics gathered from staging/production, establishing normal operating ranges for alert thresholds

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.
