observability SKILL.md skillA

observability from akaszubski/autonomous-dev is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add akaszubski/autonomous-dev/observability@git:20260408.541ecb4

Pins git:20260408.541ecb4 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Structured logging, debugging (pdb/ipdb), profiling (cProfile/line_profiler), and performance monitoring. Use when adding logging, debugging issues, or optimizing performance. TRIGGER when: logging, debug, profiling, performance monitoring, metrics, stack trace. DO NOT TRIGGER when: feature implementation, testing, documentation, config changes.

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 Skill

Comprehensive guide to logging, debugging, profiling, and performance monitoring in Python applications.

## When This Skill Activates

- Adding logging to code
- Debugging production issues
- Profiling performance bottlenecks
- Monitoring application metrics
- Analyzing stack traces
- Performance optimization
- Keywords: "logging", "debug", "profiling", "performance", "monitoring"

## Core Concepts

### 1. Structured Logging

Structured logging with JSON format for machine-readable logs and rich context.

**Why Structured Logging?**
- Machine-parseable (easy to search, filter, aggregate)
- Context-rich (attach metadata to log entries)
- Consistent format across services

**Key Features**:
- JSON-formatted logs
- Log levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL)
- Context logging with extra metadata
- Best practices for meaningful logs

**Example**:
```python
import logging
import json

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.info("User action", extra={
    "user_id": 123,
    "action": "login",
    "ip": "192.168.1.1"
})
```

**See**: `docs/structured-logging.md` for Python logging setup and patterns

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add akaszubski/autonomous-dev/observability@sha256:4f88880f4bab5798

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260408.541ecb4, 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.
