create-service-levels

create-service-levels is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tomzx/agents. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,589 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reliability plan for a service, covering measurable signals, targets, agreements, and the amount of failure the team can accept. An SLI measures service behavior, an SLO sets a target, an SLA is a customer-facing commitment, and an error budget is the allowed unreliability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting reliability targets for services and important user journeys, and giving monitoring and reviews clear standards to check.
Why use it?
It replaces vague opinions about whether a service is healthy with agreed measurements and limits. Teams can decide when to focus on reliability instead of adding features.

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

create-service-levels 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 5d 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.

Create Service Levels

Defines the service-level objectives, indicators, agreements, and error budgets that govern a service's reliability.

Produces a single context-level artifact that observe-production checks against and audit-observability validates against. Without explicit SLOs, reliability is judged by gut feel: no one knows when a degradation is acceptable, when to freeze feature work, or what "healthy" even means.

Prerequisites

  • Apply the shared SDLC conventions in skills/sdlc/references/shared.md.
  • .sdlc/context/architecture.md (must exist, to identify the services and their dependencies).
  • .sdlc/context/goals.md (optional, to align reliability targets with project objectives).
  • .sdlc/context/service-levels.md (optional; if present, revise rather than replace, per Revision Mode below).

Steps

  1. Read .sdlc/context/architecture.md to enumerate the services, endpoints, and critical user journeys.
  2. Read .sdlc/context/goals.md if present, to align reliability targets with stated objectives.
  3. For each critical user journey, define an SLI: what counts as a "good" event and a "total" event, and where that signal comes from.
  4. Set an SLO target per SLI (start conservative; tighten as you measure).
  5. Compute the error budget for each SLO (100% minus the target) and state the policy that applies when it is exhausted.
  6. Define SLAs only where a contractual or external obligation exists; keep SLA targets looser than SLOs so internal headroom protects the agreement.
  7. Specify burn-rate or threshold alerts that surface budget depletion before the window ends.
  8. Confirm the measurement infrastructure can actually produce each SLI signal; flag gaps as open questions.
  9. Write the machine-readable definitions (services, SLIs, SLOs with targets, windows, and error budgets, alert policies) to .sdlc/context/service-levels.yaml in OpenSLO format (template at skills/sdlc/templates/context/service-levels.yaml). SLAs have no OpenSLO kind and stay in the markdown. Validate best-effort that the YAML parses and each SLO references an existing SLI and service.
  10. Write the output to .sdlc/context/service-levels.md. If it already exists, revise per Revision Mode.

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.
