To ensure metrics coverage and alertability in code, check that key reliability signals are captured and failures produce meaningful alerts with runbooks. This skill validates your PR against an observability checklist covering metrics, tracing, and alerting.

Validate that new logs are actionable and free of secrets by reviewing logging quality during code changes. This skill enforces a checklist confirming structured logs and correlation IDs are present without exposing sensitive information.

You need to review observability changes in distributed systems when a PR adds or modifies logging, metrics, tracing, or alerting instrumentation. Reviewing these changes prevents deploying features that are difficult to monitor or debug in production.

No, this observability code review skill does not require specific dependencies or components. It operates as a standalone checklist that provides actionable recommendations and code patterns directly during your pull request review process.
