Designs event taxonomies and instrumentation strategies from business requirements. Use when designing event taxonomy from scratch or restructuring existing instrumentation strategy.
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
# Instrumentation Planning This skill guides you through designing an **instrumentation strategy** - the systematic approach to deciding what events and properties to track in your application. LLM chat, AI agents and MCP servers have a standard event set; for those surfaces use `rudder-ai-events-setup` instead of designing custom events. ## Why Planning Matters Poor instrumentation leads to: - **Data gaps** - Can't answer business questions - **Data bloat** - Too many events, high costs, noise - **Inconsistency** - Same action tracked differently across teams - **Technical debt** - Constant schema changes breaking dashboards Good instrumentation provides: - **Complete funnel visibility** - Every step from acquisition to retention - **Consistent naming** - Clear conventions everyone follows - **Maintainable schema** - Easy to extend, hard to break - **Actionable insights** - Data that drives decisions ## Choose Your Workflow Different starting points require different approaches: | Your Situation | Recommended Skill | |----------------|-------------------| | Building new feature, events not yet defined | `rudder-design-first-instrumentation` | …

How to install
mdr add rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills/rudder-instrumentation-planning@sha256:c7f449471a8a8760The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.dca7fe1, 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.
