observability-and-instrumentation

Designs or reviews logs, metrics, traces, alerts, correlation, dashboards, and diagnostic instrumentation so failures and performance changes can be detected and explained at component boundaries. Use for observability work, incident readiness, instrumentation, or production diagnostics. Not for fixing a specific incident before reproducing it or for adding noisy logging without an operational question.

Observability and Instrumentation

Start from the question an operator must answer, then emit the smallest safe signal that answers it.

Design sequence

  1. Name the user or business signal, SLO/error budget, failure mode, and responder.
  2. Map the request or job across boundaries and choose correlation/trace IDs, cardinality, sampling, and clock conventions.
  3. Define structured logs for state transitions and failures, metrics for rates/latency/saturation, and traces for cross-service causality.
  4. Include useful dimensions without high-cardinality or secret data. Redact tokens, PII, payloads, and credentials by default.
  5. Add alerts with actionable thresholds, runbook links, ownership, deduping, and a recovery path. Avoid alerts that merely report expected retries.
  6. Verify the signal in a safe environment and test the failure path that should emit it.

Prepare operational baselines

For release and incident use, record the pre-change baseline, freshness, expected variance, promotion or paging threshold, and recovery signal. Include one user or business outcome alongside technical health where possible. A dashboard without a decision owner and action threshold is reference material, not a guardrail.

Preserve a correlation path from release identifier to request, job, dependency, and user-visible outcome. Ensure incident responders can distinguish absent traffic, stale telemetry, collector failure, and healthy zero values.

Read signal-design.md. Instrumentation must not change correctness or become the only source of truth for business data.

Completion condition

An operator can detect the important failure, correlate it across boundaries, understand the likely cause, and follow a bounded response without exposing sensitive data. release-engineering can consume the baseline as a promotion gate; incident-response can consume it as live evidence.

Designs or reviews HTTP, REST, GraphQL, RPC, CLI, webhook, event, and service interfaces with explicit inputs, outputs, errors, compatibility, idempotency, pagination, authentication, versioning, and observability. Use when introducing or changing an API or cross-component contract. Not for internal implementation details with no boundary or for debugging one API failure; use root-cause-debugging there.

Reviews an existing codebase for structural friction, unclear ownership, leaky or shallow interfaces, excessive coupling, misplaced state, poor testability, and risky dependency direction, then prioritizes evidence-backed improvement candidates. Use for architecture audits, modularization, modernization, or recurring cross-cutting change pain. Not for designing one new interface, simplifying a local function, or fixing a reproduced bug.

Validates a running application, CLI, API, service, or generated artifact as a user or operator against a prewritten observable behavior contract while remaining source-blind. Use for acceptance checks, runtime proof, anti-fake probes, release smoke tests, or an independent companion to code review. Not for source-quality findings, root-cause diagnosis, or visual design judgment outside the contract.

Closes a completed development branch by checking the final diff and proof, presenting merge, pull-request, keep, or discard options, and cleaning up only after the user or repository workflow chooses a path. Use when feature work is complete and the branch must be integrated or retired. Not for claiming a feature is complete before verification.

Tests a real web user flow with a browser by asserting semantic behavior, network and loading states, keyboard access, responsive layouts, and stable visual evidence. Use for browser bugs, end-to-end UI behavior, responsive or accessibility checks, and screenshot baselines. Not for static source review without a browser or for backend-only tests.
