What it does

Signoz is an agent skill from qjoly/GitOps. Manage the self-hosted SigNoz observability stack in this GitOps repo. Use when creating or editing SigNoz dashboards, wiring application metrics into SigNoz (Traefik, ArgoCD, other Prometheus/OTLP sources), configuring alerting and notification channels (Discord), or debugging why a dashboard variable filter does not work. Covers the non-obvious formats SigNoz v0.13x expects.

Its SKILL.md is about 6.1k 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 Container orchestration, Monitoring and alerting and GitOps. It works with Argo CD, Kubernetes, Prometheus and OpenTelemetry. The repository describes itself as: Homelab setup based on Omni and Talos.

When your agent uses it

Editing SigNoz dashboards
Wiring application metrics into SigNoz (Traefik
Other Prometheus/OTLP sources)
Configuring alerting and notification channels (Discord)

Example prompts

“/signoz”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

The metrics must carry the k8s.cluster.name resource attribute (see next section).
Add a DYNAMIC variable. Its id and key MUST be a valid UUID. A made-up non-UUID id
Add the filter to each query's filter.expression

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 254786f. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- kubectl
- helm
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:
- signoz-ingest.mocha.thoughtless.eu
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

Signoz loads about 6.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,737 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~6.1k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (WTFPL) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,737 words (~6,119 tokens).

“SigNoz runs on the mocha cluster (mocha/system/signoz/), deployed by the signoz Helm chart via ArgoCD. Other clusters ship telemetry to it over OTLP. Every source is tagged with k8s.cluster.name so data can be told apart.”

— opening of SKILL.md by qjoly, WTFPL

name: signoz

Outline of SKILL.md

SigNoz on this cluster
The dashboard variable filter gotcha (most important)
Cluster selector on a dashboard
Cluster selector pitfalls (shows 0 / wrong cluster)
Getting application metrics into SigNoz
Showing friendly names for id-only metrics (PromQL info-metric join)
reduceTo must be "last", not "sum" (inflated value/pie/bar panels)
The label name is ignored by the builder filter (use PromQL)
Don't sum metrics that overlap (ZFS datasets)
ServiceMonitor / PodMonitor support (OTel Operator target allocator)
Dashboards as code
The v1 dashboard API is dead since SigNoz 0.135 — use v2 (schema v6)
v6 dashboard JSON shape (what to write in the file)
Alerting
SigNoz Operator: dashboards and alerts are CRs now (replaces the provisioner Jobs)
Applying changes
ArgoCD Server-Side Apply diff bug (K8s 1.35)
Upgrading ArgoCD on turing (vanilla, no AVP)
