$0.03 / access SKILL.md protocol

The agent-observability-skill is a 6-phase SKILL.md behavioral protocol for production AI agent monitoring and observability. It teaches agents how to instrument telemetry, detect behavioral drift, classify alerts (P0-P3), investigate root causes, define SLOs, and run continuous evaluation in production. Compatible with OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Honeycomb, Grafana, and any standard observability stack.

Part of the Enterprise Agent Eval Stack: Agents that purchase the testing or governance protocol commonly need observability next — you can't govern what you can't see. This protocol completes the visibility layer for production agent deployments.

Protocol Overview

The protocol covers six phases of production agent observability:

Phase	What It Covers
Telemetry Instrumentation	Traces, agent-specific metrics (tokens, latency, tool calls, context usage), structured logs per turn, state-transition events
Behavioral Drift Detection	Latency distribution shift, tool failure rate spikes, context window saturation, task completion rate drops, confidence score drift
Alert Taxonomy (P0-P3)	Agent-specific alert classification: total outage, SLA breach, hallucination rate, cost runaway — each with condition and response SLA
Root Cause Investigation	5-minute triage protocol, LLM response analysis, context window monitoring, retrieval quality investigation, prompt regression testing
SLO Definition for AI Agents	Standard SLO template: task completion rate, P95 latency, tool success rate, hallucination rate, context overflow rate, cost per task
Continuous Evaluation in Production	Shadow scoring (5% sample), A/B agent version testing, golden set regression (daily), per-user cohort analysis

Use Cases

Monitor token spend per agent call — instrument agent.llm.cost_usd counter with model and task labels; surface cost attribution per task type
Alert on latency regressions — set P2 alert when P95 latency drifts 50%+ from rolling 7-day baseline; page on-call at 100%+ drift (P1)
Detect silent model version bumps — track behavioral drift z-scores across output distribution; catch regression when LLM provider silently updates a model
Enforce SLOs before production release — define task completion rate, latency, and hallucination targets; run shadow scoring against the gate before promoting a new agent version

Protocol Excerpt

# Agent Observability & Production Monitoring Protocol ## Phase 1: Telemetry Instrumentation Every production agent deployment requires four signal types: 1. Traces (distributed spans) — Agent Request Span > LLM Inference Span > Tool Call Span > Response Delivery Span 2. Agent-Specific Metrics — agent.request.count, agent.llm.latency_ms, agent.tool.call_count, agent.context.token_usage_pct, agent.task.completion_rate 3. Structured Logs (per agent turn) — trace_id, agent_id, task_type, turn, llm_model, prompt_tokens, tool_calls, context_usage_pct, wall_time_ms, status 4. Events (state transitions) — task start/completion/failure, tool call failure, context window threshold breach, model refusal, escalation to human ...
