observability

observability is an Observability & incident response skill for AI agents, published by citypaul in the .dotfiles repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates observability C (74/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Observability as an engineering discipline — wide events / canonical log lines, OpenTelemetry instrumentation (traces, metrics, context propagation, sampling, Collector), SLIs/SLOs/error budgets, symptom-based alerting with burn rates, telemetry hygiene, and testing instrumentation as behavior. Use when instrumenting a service, designing SLOs or alerts, choosing what to log/trace/measure, investigating production unknowns, or reviewing telemetry cost and cardinality. For log transport and shape (stdout, JSON, levels, timestamps) see twelve-factor; for CI failure diagnosis see ci-debugging; for where instrumentation lives in ports-and-adapters codebases see hexagonal-architecture; for environment drift see production-parity-skill-builder; for HTTP error response shape see api-design.

Unproven: rated by static analysis only, not yet compared head-to-head.

Not launch-quality. It is graded C with a clean safety verdict, but our quality filters exclude it: it is a near-duplicate variant of another skill. So it is not in our launch-quality set, the skills our MCP server searches and recommends. How launch-quality is decided
