Observability Stack

Observability Stack is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from niels-emmer/myace. It costs 23 tokens per session (304 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A production monitoring setup covering structured logs, service and resource measurements, distributed traces, alerts, and dashboards. Distributed tracing follows one request across multiple services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding observability to a service: record request and error details, measure rate, errors, and latency, trace dependencies, alert on user impact, and create service dashboards.
Why use it?
It gives engineers the information needed to investigate production problems without reproducing them while they are happening.

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

Observability Stack 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.

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

Purpose

Ensure every service can be debugged without reproducing issues live.

Checklist

  • Structured logging: JSON output with timestamp, level, service name, request ID, and error context. No free-form text logs.
  • RED metrics (services): Rate (requests/sec), Errors (failed requests/sec), Duration (latency p50/p95/p99).
  • USE metrics (resources): Utilization (CPU/memory/disk %), Saturation (queue depth), Errors (device errors).
  • Distributed tracing: trace context propagated across service boundaries; traces sampled for high-traffic services.
  • Alerting on symptoms: page on user-facing impact (error rate spike, latency degradation), not infrastructure noise (CPU > 80%).
  • Dashboards: one dashboard per service showing RED metrics, key dependencies, and recent deployments.

Expected output

A service that emits structured logs, RED/USE metrics, and trace context from day one, with symptom-based alerting and a service dashboard.

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.

Observability Stack is a skill published in the GitHub repository niels-emmer/myace (1 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 304 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
