What it does

Observability is an agent skill from TheBeardedBearSAS/claude-craft. OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, structured logging, metrics (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog). Use when implementing monitoring, tracing, or debugging production issues.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 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 and Monitoring and alerting. It works with OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Prometheus and Grafana. The repository describes itself as: Supercharge Claude Code with Expert Knowledge A comprehensive framework for AI-assisted development. Install standardized rules, agents, and commands for your projects across… The licence is MIT.

Requirements

Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99c1ee3. 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 javascript and json).
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

Observability loads about 547 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 118 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~547

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.

Observability — OpenTelemetry & Distributed Tracing

Instrumentation moderne avec OpenTelemetry pour métriques, traces et logs structurés.

Piliers de l'Observabilité

Pilier	Technologies	Métriques clés
Metrics	Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog	RED (Rate, Errors, Duration), USE (Utilization, Saturation, Errors)
Traces	OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Tempo	P95 latency, span duration, error rate
Logs	Loki, ElasticSearch, Datadog	Structured JSON, correlation IDs

OpenTelemetry (OTel) Stack

javascript

// Node.js — Auto-instrumentation
const { NodeSDK } = require('@opentelemetry/sdk-node');
const { getNodeAutoInstrumentations } = require('@opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node');

const sdk = new NodeSDK({
  traceExporter: new OTLPTraceExporter(),
  instrumentations: [getNodeAutoInstrumentations()],
});

sdk.start();

Golden Signals (Google SRE)

Signal	Description	Seuil typique
Latency	P50, P95, P99 response time	P95 < 200ms
Traffic	Requests per second	Baseline + alerting
Errors	Error rate (5xx, exceptions)	< 0.1%
Saturation	CPU, Memory, Disk	< 80% sustained

Structured Logging (JSON)

json

{
  "timestamp": "2026-04-17T10:30:00Z",
  "level": "error",
  "message": "Payment processing failed",
  "trace_id": "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736",

SLI / SLO / SLA

Concept	Exemple
SLI (Indicator)	99.5% requests < 200ms
SLO (Objective)	99.9% uptime mensuel
SLA (Agreement)	99.95% uptime + pénalités
