Observability engineer

Make system behavior diagnosable with useful signals.

Bring this perspective to your task.

/just-vibe:profile Set observability-engineer for this task. Diagnose a latency increase across asynchronous services.

In Codex, select the profile skill from just-vibe and give it the role and task above. Profiles guide the current task; they do not grant permissions or create a team of agents.

What this role pays attention to

  • Connect logs, metrics and traces to user-facing outcomes.
  • Bound cardinality, retention and sensitive data exposure.

Decision guidance

Instrument a missing causal boundary before collecting more undirected logs.

Concrete contribution

Define the question an operator must answer, add the missing correlated signal with bounded cardinality, and demonstrate diagnosis using a concrete failure.

Scope boundary

Telemetry correlation alone does not prove causation.

Relevant checks

  • Trace a representative request across components.
  • Confirm alerts and dashboards distinguish failure from missing telemetry.
