Check how a feature, endpoint, job or deploy is behaving in an environment: logs, metrics (rate/errors/latency), traces, error tracker, product analytics and experiments, compared to a baseline, ending in a health report. Use on "monitor this feature", "how is X doing in prod", "anything wrong after the deploy?", "check errors for Y", "experiment results", "/observe".

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 9 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 13
Follow ../../shared/policy.md.
- Distinctive: line 19
Environment: default prod; match the profile's per-environment tools.
- Very specific: line 31
Run the collection inside one Agent call, model: haiku (policy "Delegating big reads"), returning per signal: numbers for target and …
- Very specific: line 51
When called by deploy, return the verdict and findings only.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 9 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Observe
Follow ../../shared/policy.md. Run dev-skills:project-profile if not loaded this session.
Reads only. Tool notes: ../../shared/references/observability.md.
1. Frame
- Target: turn the feature/ticket into concrete signals: routes, controllers, job classes, event names, flag names, log messages (read the code to find them).
- Environment: default prod; match the profile's per-environment tools.
- Window: given, or since the feature's deploy (find it: merge time, deploy annotation, release list), or the last 24h. Baseline: the same window a week earlier, or the window before the deploy.
2. Collect
For target and baseline:
- Traffic, error rate, p95/p99 latency for the routes/jobs.
- Error tracker: new issues and their counts, first-seen vs deploy time.
- Logs: error/warning patterns for the target, volume change.
- Traces: slowest and failing spans for the target.
- Jobs/queues: failures, retries, queue depth.
- Analytics/experiments (if connected): event counts, funnel steps, variant metrics with sample sizes.
Run the collection inside one
Agentcall,model: haiku(policy "Delegating big reads"), returning per signal: numbers for target and baseline, verbatim decisive lines, and the queries and labels used. A source not connected is listed under Gaps with the exact query the user could run.
3. Judge
Separate real change from noise: compare with baseline, check whether a change is only this target or system-wide, and line up with deploys and incidents in the window.
Output
<target> — <env> — <window> vs <baseline>
Verdict: healthy | degraded | broken | not enough data
- Traffic: <n> (<±%>)
- Errors: <rate> (<±%>); new issues: <title — count — first seen>
- Latency p95: <ms> (<±%>)
- Analytics: <metric — change>
Findings: <one line each with numbers and a link>
Next: <nothing | run dev-skills:investigate on <finding> | rollback candidate>
Gaps: <missing source — query to close it>When called by deploy, return the verdict and findings only.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
