What is an error budget policy in this context?

It is a set of guidelines provided by the skill that helps teams decide when to freeze new feature deployments based on how much of their reliability budget remains.

How does this skill help with SRE practices?

It provides the technical framework and code snippets required to implement the core pillars of SRE: measuring reliability through SLIs, setting targets with SLOs, and managing risk with Error Budgets.

Are there dashboard templates included?

The skill provides a structured blueprint and specific PromQL queries designed for building SLO-focused dashboards in tools like Grafana.

Can I use this to calculate downtime for different 'nines' of availability?

Absolutely. The skill includes a reference table for downtime per month and year for common targets like 99.9% and 99.99% availability.

Does it include specific monitoring tool configurations?

Yes, it includes ready-to-use Prometheus recording rules for calculating ratios and multi-window burn rate alerting rules to detect reliability issues quickly.

Analytics & Monitoring

Implements measurable reliability targets using SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets to balance system stability with development velocity.

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices within Claude Code, enabling developers to define and track service performance accurately. It guides users through the process of establishing Service Level Indicators (SLIs), setting meaningful Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and managing error budgets to optimize the trade-off between innovation and reliability. With built-in Prometheus recording rules and Grafana dashboard structures, it helps teams implement automated monitoring and multi-window burn rate alerting to reduce noise and improve incident response times.

Key Features

Multi-window burn rate alerting logic to minimize false positives
Pre-calculated downtime tables for SLO targets ranging from 99% to 99.99%
Standardized templates for defining availability, latency, and durability SLIs
Prometheus recording rules for automated SLI and SLO compliance tracking
1 GitHub stars
Error budget calculation formulas and operational policy templates

Use Cases

Configuring advanced Prometheus alerting based on error budget consumption rates
Implementing SRE error budget policies to prioritize reliability vs. feature work
Establishing data-driven reliability targets for microservices and APIs
