Centaur Observability
Investigate runtime evidence before proposing redesigns, simplifications, or config rewiring. Skip this skill if the sandbox prompt says observability access is disabled.
Workflow
- Identify the affected surface: thread key, execution id, service, tool, and rough time window.
- Read the relevant code paths and workflow status alongside the logs.
- Query the narrowest matching evidence below. Run independent queries in parallel.
- Report a root cause when established, or bounded hypotheses plus the evidence needed to confirm them. Offer redesign advice only after findings, or when the user asks to skip investigation.
For auth, credential, or proxy failures, use the auth-failure-log-triage skill.

Metrics
centaur-tools call vmetrics query '{"expr":"centaur_deployment_info"}' # component, version, git_sha, image
centaur-tools call vmetrics query '{"expr":"centaur_last_deploy_timestamp_seconds"}' # last deploy per component
centaur-tools call vmetrics query '{"expr":"centaur_overlay_revision_info"}' # deployed overlay revisions
centaur-tools call vmetrics query '{"expr":"centaur_overlay_revision_scrape_success"}' # overlay scrape health
Run vlogs --help or vmetrics --help for other commands. If a query fails or returns nothing, say so; do not substitute repo files, values files, or memory for live state.
