Metrics, traces, logs, alerts, SLOs, dashboards: Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Grafana. Use for instrumentation, noisy alerts, cardinality. Not live incidents.
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 Design and audit the signals a running system emits so failures are visible before users report them. This skill builds the standing pipeline - instrumentation, metrics, traces, structured logs, alert rules, SLOs, and dashboards-as-code - and audits a repo for the gaps that leave a service blind. **Target versions**: see `references/versions.md` (verified per the receipt date in that file). Do not restate version numbers here. ## When to use - Adding instrumentation to a service: metrics (Prometheus/OTLP), traces (OpenTelemetry), or structured logs - Writing or reviewing alert rules, recording rules, and Alertmanager routing - Defining SLOs and error budgets, and the multi-burn-rate alerts that back them - Building dashboards as code (provisioned JSON, grafonnet/Grizzly) - Designing the signal collection layer: OTel Collector pipelines, exporters, scrape config - Auditing a repo for observability gaps: uninstrumented services, no SLOs, alert-fatigue patterns, cardinality risks, logs with no trace correlation ## When NOT to use - Profiling and optimizing an identified application bottleneck - use **debug-triage**. …

How to install
mdr add iuliandita/skills/observability@sha256:5ec52122f834f638The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.aa96fb6, 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.
