Agent skills and MCP configuration for deploying and managing Observe's observability infrastructure
Skills15
alert-investigationInvestigate alerts using systematic SRE methodology to understand issues, assess impact, test hypotheses, and identify root causes with evidence-based analysis. Use when: (1) User asks to investigate or analyze an alert (2) User mentions a specific alert or monitor that is firing (3) Debugging production issues or incidents (4) User asks about alert root cause or impact (5) User wants to understand why something is alerting (6) Performing incident response or triage.
debug-k8s-collectionTroubleshoot and debug Observe Agent data collection on Kubernetes. Use this skill whenever the user reports any K8s-side problem with Observe — pods crashing, stuck Pending, ImagePullBackOff, "no data in Observe", missing datastreams, suspected token/secret issues, endpoint reachability failures, or platform-specific symptoms on Fargate / GKE Autopilot / EKS Auto Mode — even if they don't explicitly say "debug" or "Observe Agent." Covers pod status, secrets, endpoint reachability, debug logging, self-monitoring metrics, and platform-specific failure modes.
debug-linux-host-collectionTroubleshoot and debug Observe Agent data collection on Linux hosts. Use this skill whenever the user reports any host-side problem with Observe — the agent failing to start, `observe-agent status` reporting errors, `init-config` failing with unknown flags, "no data in Observe" from a Linux host, fleet heartbeats not arriving, apt/yum repo failures, `unauthorized` token errors, or systemd service failures — even if they don't explicitly say "debug" or "observe-agent." Covers agent status, live log tailing, config validation, debug logging, datastream ingestion verification, and common error patterns.
deploy-k8s-explorerEnd-to-end onboarding of a Kubernetes cluster to Observe — creates the backend datastreams + content via the Observe CLI and deploys the observe/agent helm chart. Use for ANY request to install or set up the Observe Agent on Kubernetes, onboard a K8s cluster to Observe, or send K8s data to Observe — across any flavor (EKS, GKE, AKS, GKE Autopilot, EKS Fargate, EKS Auto Mode, minikube, kind, on-prem). Do NOT route a Kubernetes onboarding request to a generic datastream-creation flow; always orchestrate via this skill, which delegates to setup-k8s-backend and setup-k8s-collection.
deploy-linux-host-explorerEnd-to-end Host Explorer deployment for Observe — creates backend resources (datastreams, content, ingest token) via the Observe CLI and installs the observe-agent on a Linux host. Use this skill whenever the user mentions setting up Observe on a Linux machine, onboarding a host (Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, CentOS) to Observe, deploying host monitoring from the terminal or CI, or replacing the Observe UI's Host setup wizard — even if they don't say "Host Explorer" explicitly. Orchestrates setup-linux-host-backend and setup-linux-host-collection.
