monitoring-observability

monitoring-observability is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yonatangross/orchestkit. It costs 69 tokens per session (2,374 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to tracking how software and AI systems behave using logs, metrics, dashboards, and traces. It includes monitoring service health, following requests across systems, tracking language-model costs, and detecting quality drift.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, OpenTelemetry tracing, Langfuse language-model tracking, and drift monitoring.
Why use it?
It helps teams find failures, understand performance, monitor spending, and notice when an AI system's results become less reliable.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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-observability 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/callback-handler.py, scripts/health-checks.ts, scripts/observe-decorator.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Monitoring & Observability

A wrap around Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry and Langfuse, not a re-teaching of them. This skill carries OrchestKit's delta (version floors, house decisions, scars) and points at the vendor for everything else. Start at references/ork-delta.md.

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.

monitoring-observability is a skill published in the GitHub repository yonatangross/orchestkit (225 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 2,374 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
