Use this skill when setting up monitoring, adding observability, or instrumenting with OpenTelemetry — also when creating SLOs and error budgets, designing alerts, aggregating logs, tracing distributed requests, or building Grafana/Prometheus dashboards. Implements vendor-neutral telemetry with structured incident response and alert-fatigue control.
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 Engineering Production-grade observability engineering for AI agents. Covers the full observability lifecycle: OpenTelemetry instrumentation, metrics collection, structured logging, distributed tracing, SLI/SLO management, alert design, and incident response workflows. ## When to Use This Skill Invoke this skill when the user asks to: - **Instrument** a service, application, or library with OpenTelemetry - **Set up monitoring** dashboards, alerts, or metrics pipelines (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) - **Design SLOs/SLIs** with error budgets and burn-rate alerts - **Configure distributed tracing** with sampling strategies and context propagation - **Aggregate logs** with structured JSON logging, trace correlation, and PII redaction - **Build incident response** runbooks, communication templates, and postmortems - **Manage observability-as-code** via Terraform/Pulumi for dashboards and alerts - **Optimize observability costs** through cardinality management and retention policies **Do NOT use this skill for:** general bug fixes (use code-review), Kubernetes deployment configuration (use a k8s skill), or generic DevOps questions without an observability intent. …

How to install
mdr add jpeetz/agent-skills/observability-engineering@sha256:b455db7344e1087cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
