Observability Instrumentation

Name: Observability Instrumentation
Author: yaleh

Comprehensive observability methodology implementing three pillars (logs, metrics, traces) with structured logging using Go slog, Prometheus-style metrics, and distributed tracing patterns. Use when adding observability from scratch, logs unstructured or inadequate, no metrics collection, debugging production issues difficult, or need performance monitoring. Provides structured logging patterns (contextual logging, log levels DEBUG/INFO/WARN/ERROR, request ID propagation), metrics instrumentation (counter/gauge/histogram patterns, Prometheus exposition), tracing setup (span creation, context propagation, sampling strategies), and Go slog best practices (JSON formatting, attribute management, handler configuration). Validated in meta-cc with 23-46x speedup vs ad-hoc logging, 90-95% transferability across languages (slog specific to Go but patterns universal).

Rapid Convergence

yaleh

Achieve 3-4 iteration methodology convergence (vs standard 5-7) when clear baseline metrics exist, domain scope is focused, and direct validation is possible. Use when you have V_meta baseline ≥0.40, quantifiable success criteria, retrospective validation data, and generic agents are sufficient. Enables 40-60% time reduction (10-15 hours vs 20-30 hours) without sacrificing quality. Prediction model helps estimate iteration count during experiment planning. Validated in error recovery (3 iterations, 10 hours, V_instance=0.83, V_meta=0.85).

Baseline Quality Assessment

yaleh

Achieve comprehensive baseline (V_meta ≥0.40) in iteration 0 to enable rapid convergence. Use when planning iteration 0 time allocation, domain has established practices to reference, rich historical data exists for immediate quantification, or targeting 3-4 iteration convergence. Provides 4 quality levels (minimal/basic/comprehensive/exceptional), component-by-component V_meta calculation guide, and 3 strategies for comprehensive baseline (leverage prior art, quantify baseline, domain universality analysis). 40-50% iteration reduction when V_meta(s₀) ≥0.40 vs <0.20. Spend 3-4 extra hours in iteration 0, save 3-6 hours overall.

Error Recovery

yaleh

Comprehensive error handling methodology with 13-category taxonomy, diagnostic workflows, recovery patterns, and prevention guidelines. Use when error rate >5%, MTTD/MTTR too high, errors recurring, need systematic error prevention, or building error handling infrastructure. Provides error taxonomy (file operations, API calls, data validation, resource management, concurrency, configuration, dependency, network, parsing, state management, authentication, timeout, edge cases - 95.4% coverage), 8 diagnostic workflows, 5 recovery patterns, 8 prevention guidelines, 3 automation tools (file path validation, read-before-write check, file size validation - 23.7% error prevention). Validated with 1,336 historical errors, 85-90% transferability across languages/platforms, 0.79 confidence retrospective validation.
