Structured Logging and Observability
Log levels:
DEBUG: detailed diagnostic (off in production)INFO: normal operation milestonesWARNING: recoverable unexpected stateERROR: operation failed, action needed
Structured logs (JSON) over free-form text:
import structlog
log = structlog.get_logger()
log.info("request_complete", method="POST", path="/api/data", status=200, latency_ms=42)
Metrics to expose: request rate, error rate, latency (p50/p95/p99), queue depth.
Health check endpoint: /health returning {"status": "ok"} — required for load balancers.
Anti-pattern: Logging only on error; you can't diagnose what you didn't observe.
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
structured-progress-update
Use this skill when summarizing progress on an ongoing project or multi-step task. Give a clear, scannable status report whenever asked for an update or at the end of a work session.
async-communication-etiquette
Use this skill when writing messages in async channels (Slack, GitHub issues, email threads) where the reader may not have context and cannot ask follow-up questions immediately.
idempotent-script-design
Use this skill when writing scripts, cron jobs, data pipelines, or any automated process that may be run multiple times. Design every operation to be safely re-runnable without side effects.
secrets-management
Use this skill when handling API keys, passwords, tokens, private keys, or any sensitive credential. Never hardcode secrets in source code — apply this whenever the word "key", "token", "password", or "secret" appears in the task.
input-validation-and-sanitization
Use this skill when implementing any endpoint, form handler, CLI tool, or function that accepts external input. Validate and sanitize all untrusted data before processing — never assume input is safe.
graceful-error-recovery
Use this skill when a tool call, command, or API request fails. Diagnose the root cause systematically before retrying or changing approach. Do not retry the same failing call without first understanding why it failed.
