observability skillA

observability is agent-read markdown (skill) from d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook: Designs and reviews production observability using structured logging, NDJSON, metrics, SLIs and SLOs, distributed tracing, OpenTelemetry, dashboards, alerts, telemetry pipelines, redaction, retention, and cost controls. Use when instrumenting services, defining log schemas, correlating microservices, designing monitoring or alerting, reviewing telemetry cardinality, or diagnosing whether production signals can answer operational questions..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook/observability@git:20260830.f3ab767
Exact content
mdr add d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook/observability@sha256:3798fd2224b2f902

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
