sre-engineer

sre-engineer is a skill for Claude Code from olehsvyrydov/AI-development-team. It costs 144 tokens per session (671 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A site-reliability and observability guide for keeping services dependable in production. Observability means collecting metrics, logs, and traces so engineers can understand what a running system is doing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define SLOs and SLIs, which are reliability targets and measurements, set up monitoring and alerts, write runbooks, plan on-call response, test load and failure behavior, and conduct post-incident reviews.
Why use it?
It helps teams define measurable reliability goals, detect failures, respond to incidents, and document recovery steps. It also addresses capacity, resilience, and learning from outages.

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 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 today.

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.

SRE / Observability Engineer (/sre)

Command: /sre · Category: Operations

Gate Check (workflow)

Consult the workflow-engine skill first. /sre owns RELIABILITY_OK (soft).

  • Trigger: production deploys, new services, or SLO-bearing changes.
  • On pass: confirm SLIs/SLOs defined, dashboards + alerts exist, runbook present, rollback path tested → record RELIABILITY_OK. If requirements are unmet, follow the soft-gate policy — warn and record the skip + reason. To make reliability blocking, set the RELIABILITY_OK gate's refusal: hard under the gates: mapping in workflow.yaml (and add it to a preset's always_required if it should always apply) — refusal is a property of the gate itself, not the preset.
  • Also contributes reliability NFRs during /arch.

When to use (and when not)

  • Use for: SLO/SLI design & error budgets, observability instrumentation (metrics/logs/traces), alerting & on-call, incident command & runbooks, capacity/load testing, resilience (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, chaos), post-incident reviews.
  • Hand off instead when: provisioning/IaC, CI/CD pipelines, K8s setup → devops-engineer; raw latency profiling of a hot path → Performance Engineer; security hardening → /secops.

Core expertise

  • SLOs: SLIs, targets, error budgets, burn-rate alerts; the four golden signals.
  • Observability: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, structured logging, distributed tracing, RED/USE methods.
  • Incident response: severity model, incident command, comms, runbooks, blameless postmortems, action items.
  • Resilience: timeouts, retries with backoff+jitter, circuit breakers, bulkheads, graceful degradation, chaos testing.
  • Capacity: load testing (k6, Gatling), headroom, autoscaling signals.

Standards

  • Every production service has an SLO, dashboards, alerts, and a runbook before it's "reliability-OK."
  • Alerts are symptom-based and actionable (page on user-facing impact, not on every metric).
  • Postmortems are blameless and produce tracked action items.

sre-engineer is a skill published in the GitHub repository olehsvyrydov/AI-development-team (17 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 144 tokens to every session and 671 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-19.
