What it does

Production Readiness is an agent skill from KbWen/agentic-os. Use at review and ship, automatically for feature or architecture changes and on request for error handling, logging, crash reporting, or observability; verify errors reach production monitoring.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability. The repository describes itself as: Governance framework for AI coding agents. It runs them through a five-step workflow (plan, build, review, test, ship) where no step counts as done without evidence. Drop-in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Observability

Example prompts

  • “/production-readiness”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Error Surface Audit (at /review)
  2. Log Sink Documentation (at /ship)
  3. Rollback Telemetry (at /ship)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 81a4034. 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.

    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

Production Readiness loads about 938 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 395 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~938

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.

Production Readiness

Overview

Code that passes all tests but logs errors only via debug-only APIs (e.g., debugPrint, console.log in debug mode) is functionally silent in production. This skill enforces observability readiness before ship — ensuring the team is not blind during beta testing and production rollout.

When to Use

  • Auto-recommended for feature and architecture-change classifications.
  • Activate manually when working on error handling, crash reporting, or logging infrastructure.
  • Apply at /review (semantic error check) and /ship (readiness checklist).

Observability Checklist

1. Error Surface Audit (at /review)

For every catch / error-handling block in changed files:

CheckPassFail
Logging call existsLogger.error(), log.error(), crashReporter.capture()Empty catch {}
Logger is production-observableFramework logger, crash reporter, structured stdoutdebugPrint(), print(), debug-only console.log
Error context is actionableIncludes error type, operation, identifiers"error occurred", raw exception only
2. Log Sink Documentation (at /ship)

Document in Work Log where production errors go:

## Observability
- Error sink: [e.g., Sentry via Logger.error(), Crashlytics, stdout → CloudWatch]
- Health check: [e.g., /health endpoint, Firebase Vitals, uptime monitor]
- Rollback signal: [e.g., error rate > 2x baseline → revert]

If the project has no production logging infrastructure, document as Known Risk:

"No production error reporting configured. Errors in catch blocks will be logged to stdout only. Risk: silent failures in release builds if stdout is not monitored."

3. Rollback Telemetry (at /ship)

The rollback plan (per engineering_guardrails.md §12.5) must answer:

  • How will operators know the rollback is needed? (alert, dashboard, manual check)
  • How will operators know the rollback succeeded? (error rate drops, health check passes)

What This Skill Does NOT Cover

  • Tool selection: Sentry vs Crashlytics vs Datadog — team/project decides.
  • Alert thresholds: When to page on-call — SRE/ops owns this.
  • Dashboards: What to visualize — team preference.
  • Post-deploy monitoring: This is a pre-ship readiness check, not an ops workflow.

Anti-Patterns

Anti-PatternWhy It FailsFix
catch (e) { debugPrint(e); }Tree-shaken in release buildUse production logger
catch (e) { /* TODO: add logging */ }Silent catch escapes reviewAdd logging now, not later
Logger.error("error") without contextUseless in production triageInclude operation, identifiers, error type
Logging to local file onlyNot observable in cloud/mobileUse centralized error reporting

Interaction with Other Skills

  • systematic-debugging: Complements — debugging finds bugs, production-readiness ensures they're visible when they happen again.
  • verification-before-completion: Works alongside — verification checks correctness, production-readiness checks observability.
  • auth-security: Security errors are especially critical to observe in production. §5.2a applies with elevated priority to auth error paths.
