observability SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

observability from byerlikaya/claude-starter-kit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add byerlikaya/claude-starter-kit/observability@git:20260924.a457823

Pins git:20260924.a457823 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Stack-agnostic observability: structured logs, correlation ids, metrics and traces; no PII or secrets in logs. Makes a production issue traceable to why it happened. Use when adding a log line, an error path, a metric, or when an incident could not be traced.

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

<!-- routing-eval reads the next line; why it sits in the body: AGENT_TEMPLATE.md -->
Trigger phrases: "observability", "structured logging", "structured log", "add a trace", "add a metric", "correlation id", "add logging"

Goal: to be able to answer "what happened, where, why" during a production incident **by looking at the logs**.
It is stack-agnostic; when you need a framework-specific library/format, do a web search.

## Three signals
- **Log** — event record (structured/JSON, leveled).
- **Metric** — numeric time series (request count, latency, error rate, resource usage).
- **Trace** — a request's journey across services (spans + correlation id).

## Checklist
- [ ] Logs are **structured** (JSON/key-value), not string interpolation
- [ ] Every log line carries a **correlation id** (request/trace id)
- [ ] Levels are correct: the DEBUG/INFO/WARN/ERROR distinction is meaningful
- [ ] **No PII/secret is logged** (password, token, card, national/ID number, email body)
- [ ] Error logs carry context (input summary, user/resource id — not PII); the stack trace does not leak to the user

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add byerlikaya/claude-starter-kit/observability@sha256:31d72967cab5c0a1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.a457823, 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.
