bmad-observability-readiness

Observability foundations establish instrumentation, metrics, and alerting across your system. This Skill creates an observability plan, instrumentation tasks, SLO dashboards, and runbooks by defining logging, metrics, traces, and alerts tailored to your environment's end-to-end telemetry needs.

An observability backlog prioritizes instrumentation, metrics cataloging, structured logging, and tracing work. Dashboard specifications detail SLO/SLI definitions, alert thresholds, and visualization layout to enable SLO-driven reliability monitoring across development and production.

Structured logging and OpenTelemetry tracing capture detailed telemetry across your stack. This Skill generates instrumentation design tasks, metrics definitions, and tracing configuration guidance to establish consistent, queryable observability signals.

Yes. This Skill designs end-to-end telemetry coverage applicable to both development and production, including logging, metrics, traces, dashboards, and alerting configured for each environment's reliability and debugging needs.

Metrics measure quantitative system behavior; logs capture discrete events; traces track request flow across services. This Skill establishes all three as interconnected foundations, defining which to collect, how to structure them, and how to correlate them for SLO tracking.

SLO/SLI definitions establish reliability targets and measurable indicators. This Skill generates SLO dashboard specifications and alert runbooks that translate SLIs into actionable thresholds, enabling alert rules tied to your service's promised availability.
