observability-stack (Skillset)
A coordinated set of skills that adds end-to-end observability to a service:
metric instrumentation at the code level and a pre-built dashboard for
visualising those metrics.
When to use
Use when you are onboarding a new service and need all of: structured metric
collection, consistent naming, and a ready-to-use dashboard.
Individual member skills can be used independently — see each skill's "When to
use" section.
Member skills
Install and apply in this order:
- instrumentation — Adds metric collection stubs and exports to the service.
- dashboards — Creates a pre-built monitoring dashboard wired to the metric names defined by instrumentation.
Shared parameters
Parameters shared across member skills are documented in PARAMETERS.md in this
directory. Each member skill also maintains its own PARAMETERS.md for
skill-specific parameters.
Instructions
- Fill in all shared parameters in this directory's
PARAMETERS.md.
- Apply member skills in the order listed above.
- Run each member skill's verification step before proceeding to the next.
Verification
After applying all member skills, run the quality gate for each member:
validate-skill.sh instrumentation
validate-skill.sh dashboards
Expected output: VALIDATION_RESULT: PASS for each member.
