Does this include dashboard templates?

It provides structural guidance and specific PromQL queries for building comprehensive SLO dashboards in Grafana, including compliance trends and burn rate analysis.

What is an error budget?

An error budget is the allowed amount of unreliability (calculated as 1 minus your SLO target) that a service can tolerate before development velocity must shift focus toward stability.

How often should I review my SLOs?

The framework recommends a tiered review process: weekly for budget status, monthly for trend analysis, and quarterly for adjusting overall targets and relevance.

Can I use this with Prometheus?

Yes, the skill includes pre-configured Prometheus recording and alerting rules for common metrics like HTTP availability and p95 latency.

How does this skill help with alert fatigue?

It implements multi-window burn rate alerts, which combine short and long monitoring windows to significantly reduce false positives while quickly identifying real reliability threats.

Analytics & Monitoring

Define and implement Service Level Indicators (SLIs), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and error budgets to maintain high service reliability.

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices, enabling teams to balance innovation velocity with system stability. It offers structured guidance on defining measurable SLIs, setting realistic SLO targets, and calculating error budgets using industry-standard formulas. With built-in support for Prometheus recording rules and multi-window burn rate alerts, it helps developers transition from reactive monitoring to proactive reliability management, ensuring that services meet user expectations through data-driven performance tracking.
