Observability and SRE expert. Use when setting up monitoring, logging, tracing, defining SLOs, or managing incidents. Covers Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and incident response best practices.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Observability & Site Reliability Engineering

## Core Principles

- **Three Pillars** — Metrics, Logs, and Traces provide holistic visibility
- **Observability-First** — Build systems that explain their own behavior
- **SLO-Driven** — Define reliability targets that matter to users
- **Proactive Detection** — Find issues before customers do
- **Blameless Culture** — Learn from failures without blame
- **Automate Toil** — Reduce repetitive operational work
- **Continuous Improvement** — Each incident makes systems more resilient
- **Full-Stack Visibility** — Monitor from infrastructure to business metrics

---

## Hard Rules (Must Follow)

> These rules are mandatory. Violating them means the skill is not working correctly.

### Symptom-Based Alerts Only

**Alert on user-facing symptoms, not internal infrastructure metrics.**

```yaml
# ❌ FORBIDDEN: Alerting on internal metrics
- alert: CPUHigh
  expr: cpu_usage > 70%
  # Users don't care about CPU, they care about latency

- alert: MemoryHigh
  expr: memory_usage > 80%
  # Internal metric, may not affect users

# ✅ REQUIRED: Alert on user experience
- alert: APILatencyHigh
  expr: slo:api_latency:p95 > 0.200

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add majiayu000/spellbook/observability-sre@sha256:b791d165ca94f9c5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260523.d39dd11, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
