monitoring-audit

monitoring-audit is a skill for Claude Code from me2resh/apexyard. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,504 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An audit of how a software system records problems and stays ready for incidents. It examines logs, measurements, request tracing, alerts, error tracking, and health-check endpoints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing observability and incident readiness before launch, including error reporting, health checks, alerts, runbooks, and useful operational signals.
Why use it?
It helps reveal whether a production failure will be noticed, diagnosed, and resolved. It is intended as a deeper follow-up when a launch check finds monitoring concerns.

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

monitoring-audit 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 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.

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 — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/monitoring-audit — Observability & Incident Readiness

Deep-dive observability analysis. Checks that production issues will be detected, alerted on, and resolvable. Invoke when /launch-check's monitoring row shows WARN or FAIL.

Observability Pillars

Pillar Question What to look for
Logs Can you see what happened? Structured logging, log levels, no PII in logs
Metrics Can you measure what's happening? Request counts, latency, error rates, business metrics
Traces Can you follow a request end-to-end? Distributed tracing, correlation IDs
Alerts Will you know when something breaks? Alerting rules, on-call, PagerDuty/OpsGenie

Process

Step 1: Error tracking

  • Grep for error tracking SDK (Sentry, Datadog, Bugsnag, LogRocket, Rollbar)
  • Check initialization: is the SDK configured with the correct DSN/API key (env var, not hardcoded)?
  • Check error boundaries (React ErrorBoundary, Vue errorHandler, global uncaughtException handler)
  • Check if source maps are uploaded to the error tracker for readable stack traces

Step 2: Health endpoints

  • Check for a health check route (/health, /healthz, /api/health, /_health)
  • Check what the health endpoint verifies (just "alive"? database connectivity? external service reachability?)
  • Check for a readiness probe separate from liveness (Kubernetes-style)

Step 3: Logging

  • Check for a logging library (winston, pino, bunyan, python logging, structured logging)
  • Check if logs are structured (JSON) or unstructured (console.log with string concatenation)
  • Check for appropriate log levels (error, warn, info, debug) — not everything at console.log
  • Check that sensitive data (passwords, tokens, PII) is NOT logged

Step 4: Alerting and incident response

  • Check for alerting configuration (CloudWatch Alarms, Datadog monitors, PagerDuty rules)
  • Check for a runbook (docs/runbook.md, docs/incident-response.md, RUNBOOK.md)
  • Check for a status page configuration (Statuspage.io, Instatus, or self-hosted)

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.
