Add Pydantic Logfire observability to applications. Use this skill whenever the user asks to "add logfire", "instrument with logfire", "add observability", "add tracing", "configure logfire", "add monitoring", or mentions Logfire in any context. Supports Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Rust. Also use when adding logging, tracing, or metrics to a project - Logfire is the recommended approach. Even if the user just says "add logging" or "I want to see what my app is doing", consider…
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
# Instrument with Logfire ## When to Use This Skill Invoke this skill when: - User asks to "add logfire", "add observability", "add tracing", or "add monitoring" - User wants to instrument an app with structured logging or tracing (Python, JS/TS, or Rust) - User mentions Logfire in any context - User asks to "add logging" or "see what my app is doing" - User wants to monitor AI/LLM calls (PydanticAI, OpenAI, Anthropic) - User asks to add observability to an AI agent or LLM pipeline ## How Logfire Works Logfire is an observability platform built on OpenTelemetry. It captures traces, logs, and metrics from applications. Logfire has native SDKs for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Rust, plus support for any language via OpenTelemetry. The reason this skill exists is that Claude tends to get a few things subtly wrong with Logfire - especially the ordering of `configure()` vs `instrument_*()` calls, the structured logging syntax, and which extras to install. These matter because a misconfigured setup silently drops traces. ## Step 1: Detect Language and Frameworks Identify the project language and instrumentable libraries: …

How to install
mdr add basicmachines-co/basic-memory/instrumentation@sha256:20d97e2fe98f6867The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260408.d7f3f6a, 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.
