## What it does

The skill helps decide what a system should measure and which events should reach a person. It starts from the materials at hand, such as alert rules, an architecture note, or an incident summary, then picks one main mode: service reliability, telemetry setup, data-pipeline monitoring, game live-ops visibility, or a review audit.

Next, it frames the core monitoring question and outlines a small signal plan. That plan can cover evidence to collect, what should page now versus become a later task or dashboard item, and who owns each alert or dashboard family. Reference material covers intake packets, mode boundaries, dashboard and alert checks, and rollout choices.

The skill routes log-based outage diagnosis, code failure isolation, performance tuning, and release execution to neighboring skills. That boundary matters: this skill plans observability; it is not the tool for investigating an incident or carrying out a rollout.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill monitoring-observability -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/monitoring-observability/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/monitoring-observability/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill monitoring-observability -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/monitoring-observability/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill monitoring-observability -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/monitoring-observability/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install akillness/jeo-skills monitoring-observability
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/monitoring-observability/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill monitoring-observability -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/akillness/jeo-skills --path .agent-skills/monitoring-observability
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/monitoring-observability/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill monitoring-observability -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/akillness/jeo-skills/tree/HEAD/.agent-skills/monitoring-observability/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- choose service-health signals before launch
- audit alerts and dashboards that need changes
- monitor pipeline freshness and schema changes
- plan visibility for game crashes and launch events
- separate urgent pages from later tickets

## Example prompts
- Review these service notes and choose an observability mode with one small first step.
- Audit these alert rules and dashboards; identify what to keep, fix, or remove.
- Plan freshness monitoring for this data pipeline and say what should page a person.
