Design observability strategies: SLI/SLO frameworks, alerting, and dashboards. Use when instrumenting a production service, tuning alert rules, designing Grafana dashboards, defining SLOs and error budgets, or reducing alert fatigue.

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 Designer

Design production-ready observability strategies that combine the three pillars (metrics, logs, traces) with SLI/SLO frameworks, golden-signals monitoring, multi-window burn-rate alerting, and alert-noise optimization.

## Core Capabilities

- **SLI/SLO frameworks** — select SLIs from the golden signals, map them to Prometheus expressions, set SLO targets by criticality tier, and compute error budgets.
- **Burn-rate alerting** — multi-window burn-rate rules with severity routing, hysteresis, suppression, and grouping to keep alert noise below 10%.
- **Dashboard design** — Grafana specs following the Overview > Service > Component > Instance hierarchy, ≤7 panels per screen, role-based views (SRE/Dev/Exec/Ops).
- **Structured logging & tracing** — JSON log format with correlation IDs, log-level discipline, and head/tail/adaptive trace sampling strategies.
- **Runbooks & validation** — runbook template per critical alert; coverage validation that every T1 service has metrics, logs, traces, and a runbook.
- **Cost optimization** — metric/log/trace retention tiers and cardinality management.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/observability-designer@sha256:74743f44e3b7e3a8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
