Can I skip the observability check for an MVP?

No, dev-sre enforces a 'no exceptions' policy for observability to prevent production blindness, even for MVPs or simple internal tools.

What are the minimum requirements to pass Gate 2?

At a minimum, services must have structured JSON logs with trace correlation and functional health endpoints. CLI tools require structured logs and proper exit codes.

Does dev-sre implement the logging code?

No, dev-sre is a validation gate that confirms developers implemented observability correctly; it does not write the implementation code itself.

What happens if validation fails?

The skill issues a Hard Block or Critical failure, requiring the developer to return to the implementation phase (Gate 0) to fix observability before proceeding.

分析与监控

Validates and enforces production-grade observability standards, including structured logging and tracing, to prevent production blindness.

关于

The SRE Observability Guardrail (dev-sre) serves as Gate 2 in the Ring development cycle, acting as a mandatory quality gate that ensures software is observable before it reaches production. It automatically audits services for JSON-structured logs, OpenTelemetry tracing, and health endpoints, rejecting any code that lacks the necessary instrumentation. By providing a non-negotiable validation layer, it prevents 'silent failures' and ensures that developers maintain high standards for logs and metrics regardless of deadline pressure or project scope.
