At a glance

A skill your agent uses when building production services, pipelines, or automation that needs to be debugged, monitored, or audited.

  • Building production services
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Automation that needs to be debugged

What it does

Structured Logging And Observability is an agent skill from aiming-lab/MetaClaw. Use this skill when building production services, pipelines, or automation that needs to be debugged, monitored, or audited. Add structured logs, metrics, and health checks before shipping any service.

Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability. The repository describes itself as: 🦞 Just talk to your agent — it learns and EVOLVES 🧬. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Building production services
  • Automation that needs to be debugged

Example prompts

  • “/structured-logging-and-observability”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 922caf3. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Structured Logging And Observability loads about 247 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 65 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~247

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Structured Logging and Observability

Log levels:

  • DEBUG: detailed diagnostic (off in production)
  • INFO: normal operation milestones
  • WARNING: recoverable unexpected state
  • ERROR: operation failed, action needed

Structured logs (JSON) over free-form text:

python
import structlog
log = structlog.get_logger()
log.info("request_complete", method="POST", path="/api/data", status=200, latency_ms=42)

Metrics to expose: request rate, error rate, latency (p50/p95/p99), queue depth.

Health check endpoint: /health returning {"status": "ok"} — required for load balancers.

Anti-pattern: Logging only on error; you can't diagnose what you didn't observe.
