What are the Four Golden Signals included in this skill?

The Four Golden Signals are Latency, Traffic, Errors, and Saturation. This skill provides specific Prometheus queries to track each of these critical metrics.

How does this skill help with alerting?

It provides a standardized framework for alert severity (P0-P3) and specific YAML examples for high error rates, latency spikes, and error budget burn rates.

Does this skill support modern tracing standards?

Yes, it includes implementation patterns for OpenTelemetry, allowing you to add distributed tracing to your services for better request visibility.

Can I use this for infrastructure monitoring?

While focused on SRE/Service monitoring, it includes resource-based patterns like the USE method (Utilization, Saturation, Errors) which is ideal for infrastructure.

Analytics & Monitoring

Implements comprehensive monitoring, observability, and alerting systems based on site reliability engineering best practices.

About

This skill provides Claude with the specialized domain knowledge required to build and maintain production-grade reliability systems. It includes standardized Prometheus query patterns for the Four Golden Signals—Latency, Traffic, Errors, and Saturation—alongside implementation logic for Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Objectives (SLOs). It empowers developers to configure sophisticated alerting rules, design effective Grafana dashboards, and instrument applications using OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing and structured logging. By utilizing the RED and USE methodologies, this skill ensures that observability stacks are symptom-oriented and actionable rather than just noise-generating.
