What it does
Monitoring Observability is an agent skill from ahmedasmar/devops-claude-skills. Monitoring and observability strategy, implementation, and troubleshooting. Use this skill whenever the user mentions monitoring, observability, metrics, logs, traces, alerting, SLOs, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Loki, or OpenTelemetry. Triggers include designing metrics strategy (Four Golden Signals, RED/USE), setting up Prometheus/Grafana/Loki, creating alerts or dashboards, calculating SLOs and error budgets, instrumenting with OpenTelemetry, analyzing performance issues, choosing between monitoring tools…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 24 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/templates/otel-config/collector-config.yaml`, `assets/templates/prometheus-alerts/kubernetes-alerts.yml` and `assets/templates/prometheus-alerts/webapp-alerts.yml`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability, Monitoring and alerting and Site reliability engineering. It works with Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry and Datadog. The repository describes itself as: A Claude Code Skills Marketplace for DevOps workflows.
When your agent uses it
- The user mentions monitoring
- Include designing metrics strategy (Four Golden Signals
- Setting up Prometheus/Grafana/Loki
- Creating alerts
Example prompts
- “/monitoring-observability”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
- A credential in DD_API_KEY
- A credential in DD_APP_KEY
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Design Metrics Strategy
- Log Aggregation & Analysis
- Alert Design
- Dashboard & Visualization
- SLO & Error Budgets
- Distributed Tracing
- Datadog Cost Optimization & Migration
- Tool Selection & Comparison
- Troubleshooting & Analysis
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1489c33. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3curljqaws
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
api.datadoghq.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
DD_API_KEYDD_APP_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Monitoring Observability loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~31k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 159 tokens; SKILL.md has 886 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 886 words (~3,883 tokens).
