Metrics, diagnostics, correlation, retry, deadletter, and recovery evidence workflow. When NOT to use: one-off event capture (use event-log-tracing); pure recovery logic (use async-worker-recovery).

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-reliability

Use this skill for reliability and observability work.

## Source patterns distilled

- `src/observability/*` — metric registry, retention, sinks, exporters, event-to-metric mapping
- `src/runtime/retry-executor.ts`, `deadletter.ts`, `diagnostic-export.ts`, `recovery-recipes.ts`, `overflow-recovery.ts`, `heartbeat-gradient.ts`
- `docs/research-phase9-observability-reliability-plan.md`

## Rules

- Metrics should be per-session/per-registry where possible; avoid hidden global singletons.
- Use low-cardinality labels. Avoid raw task titles, prompts, full file paths, or secrets in metric labels.
- Redact secrets before writing logs, events, diagnostics, agent output, or exported bundles.
- Correlate events with runId/taskId and timestamps; include enough context for postmortem without exposing secrets.
- Retry should record attempts and deadletter on exhaustion; default auto-retry should remain conservative.
- Diagnostics should be safe to share: include state summary, recent events, metrics snapshot when available, and paths to artifacts.
- Heartbeat classification should be threshold-based and should ignore terminal tasks/runs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add baphuongna/pi-crew/observability-reliability@sha256:f5e9f9f0c2befdae

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.c97bc57, 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.
