What it does
Production Observability is an agent skill from rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills. Use when adding service-wide Spring Boot 3 Actuator, Micrometer metrics, distributed tracing, OpenTelemetry export, structured logging, health probes, dashboards, or alerts. Combine with ai-observability only for Spring AI-specific token, prompt, and model telemetry.
Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability and Backend development. It works with Spring Boot and OpenTelemetry. The repository describes itself as: Production-grade Claude Code and Codex skills for Spring Boot developers. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Adding service-wide Spring Boot 3 Actuator
- Micrometer metrics
- Distributed tracing
- OpenTelemetry export
Example prompts
- “/production-observability”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f0c06a0. 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 script files (Java), which the agent can run.
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 Observability loads about 615 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 274 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- production-observability
- description
- Use when adding service-wide Spring Boot 3 Actuator, Micrometer metrics, distributed tracing, OpenTelemetry export, structured logging, health probes, dashboards, or alerts. Combine with ai-observability only for Spring AI-specific token, prompt, and model telemetry.
Production Observability
Instrument user-visible operations and operational boundaries, not every method.
Baseline
- Add Actuator and one metrics registry selected by the deployment platform.
- Use Micrometer Observation for application metrics and traces.
- Use Micrometer Tracing with the chosen bridge; do not mix tracing APIs throughout business code.
- Export through OTLP when the platform standardizes on OpenTelemetry collectors.
- Expose only required actuator endpoints and secure every non-public endpoint.
Observation conventions
- Name observations by stable operation, such as
orders.create. - Keep metric tags low-cardinality: method, outcome, region, or bounded status.
- Put request IDs, user IDs, order IDs, and exception messages only in traces or logs.
- Propagate context across
@Async, executor, and Reactor boundaries. - Record latency, throughput, failures, and saturation for every external dependency.
Health and readiness
- Keep liveness independent from remote systems so a dependency outage does not restart every pod.
- Put required dependencies in readiness groups.
- Write custom health indicators only for dependencies that affect traffic acceptance.
- Set explicit timeouts on health checks.
Logging and alerts
- Emit structured logs with trace and span correlation.
- Redact credentials, tokens, personal data, prompts, and payloads by default.
- Alert on symptoms tied to service objectives, not raw metric noise.
- Include runbook links and enough dimensions to identify the affected service and dependency.
Examples
- See
examples/good-observation.javaandexamples/bad-observation.java.
Gotchas
- Agent tags metrics with user or entity IDs - this creates unbounded cardinality.
- Agent exposes every actuator endpoint publicly - expose the minimum and secure it.
- Agent makes liveness depend on the database - dependency outages then cause restart loops.
- Agent logs request bodies and tokens for debugging - redact sensitive data before emission.
- Agent creates spans but loses context in async work - configure context propagation explicitly.
