Define Service Level Indicators (SLIs), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and error budgets for a service, including multi-window multi-burn-rate alerting and an error budget policy. Use when establishing reliability targets, negotiating an external SLA, or deciding how much risk a team can spend on shipping velocity versus reliability work.
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
## Purpose Produce an SLO document that defines exactly how a service's reliability is measured (SLIs), what target is acceptable (SLOs), how much unreliability the team is allowed to spend before it must stop shipping and fix things (error budget), and what alerts fire as that budget burns. **"The service should be reliable" is not a target - it is an opinion.** This skill turns it into a number everyone can point to, measure against, and hold each other to. ## Input **Works best with:** The name of the service or API being measured. **Also valuable:** Existing incident history, any external SLA already promised to customers, current monitoring/metrics stack, the business cost of downtime. **Example invocation:** `Define SLOs for our checkout API. We currently have no formal target - customers complain when checkout is slow but we've never quantified it. We use Prometheus/Grafana for metrics. We are not yet contractually bound to any external SLA.` ## Key Concepts ### SLI, SLO, SLA - Not the Same Thing …

How to install
mdr add fattain-naime/engineering-docs/slo-error-budget-document@sha256:37d11c542c31a7efThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260717.2f82174, 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.
