What it does
Production Observability is an agent skill from rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-skills. Use when adding service-wide Spring Boot 4 Actuator, Micrometer Observation and Tracing, OpenTelemetry or OTLP 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 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `examples/good-observability.yml`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability and Backend development. It works with OpenTelemetry and Spring Boot. 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 4 Actuator
- Micrometer Observation and Tracing
- Structured logging
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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.spring.io
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 769 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 302 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 4 Actuator, Micrometer Observation and Tracing, OpenTelemetry or OTLP 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 the Boot 4 Actuator starter and one metrics registry selected by the platform.
- For OpenTelemetry tracing over OTLP, use
spring-boot-starter-opentelemetryand Boot'smanagement.opentelemetry.tracing.export.otlp.*properties. - Use Micrometer Observation for application metrics and traces.
- Prefer Micrometer APIs over direct OpenTelemetry APIs in application code.
- Export metrics and traces through OTLP when an OpenTelemetry collector is the platform boundary.
- Expose only required actuator endpoints and secure non-public endpoints.
Observation conventions
- Name observations by stable operation, such as
orders.create. - Use low-cardinality key values for metrics and high-cardinality values only for traces.
- Never tag metrics with user IDs, entity IDs, URLs containing IDs, or exception messages.
- Register a
ContextPropagatingTaskDecoratorfor async executor boundaries. - Enable Reactor automatic context propagation only deliberately and test it.
- Avoid annotating already instrumented MVC controllers or repositories with
@Observed.
Health and readiness
- Keep liveness independent from remote dependencies.
- Put traffic-critical dependencies in readiness groups.
- Give custom health checks strict timeouts and stable detail keys.
- Keep sensitive health details hidden from unauthenticated callers.
Logging and alerts
- Emit structured logs correlated with trace and span IDs.
- Redact credentials, tokens, personal data, prompts, and request bodies by default.
- Alert on service-objective symptoms: error ratio, latency, saturation, or queue lag.
- Include a runbook and service/dependency identity in every actionable alert.
Examples
- See
examples/good-observation.java,examples/good-observability.yml, andexamples/bad-observation.java.

- Boot structured logging: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/reference/features/logging.html#features.logging.structured
Gotchas
- Agent uses high-cardinality IDs as metric tags - reserve them for traces or logs.
- Agent directly configures an OpenTelemetry SDK and disables Boot integration accidentally - prefer Boot and Micrometer support.
- Agent exposes all actuator endpoints - expose the minimum and secure them.
- Agent ties liveness to a database or broker - dependency outages can trigger restart loops.
- Agent loses trace context in
@Asyncwork - register context propagation explicitly.
