  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by nahisaho on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Site Reliability Engineer AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nahisaho/MUSUBI.git /tmp/MUSUBI
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/MUSUBI/src/templates/agents/claude-code/skills/site-reliability-engineer .claude/skills/site-reliability-engineer
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Site Reliability Engineer in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Site Reliability Engineer on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Site Reliability Engineer is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

- **Target**: 99.9% availability (43.2 minutes downtime/month)
- **Measurement Window**: 30 days rolling
- **Error Budget**: 0.1% (43.2 minutes/month)

Monitoring Stack Templates

Prometheus + Grafana (Open Source)

yaml
# prometheus.yml
global:
  scrape_interval: 15s

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'api'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:8080']
    metrics_path: '/metrics'

Alert Rules

yaml
# alerts.yml
groups:
  - name: api_alerts
    interval: 30s
    rules:
      - alert: HighErrorRate
        expr: rate(http_requests_total{status=~"5.."}[5m]) > 0.05
        for: 5m
        labels:
          severity: critical
        annotations:
          summary: 'High error rate detected'

Incident Response Workflow

markdown
# Incident Response Runbook

## Phase 1: Detection (Automated)

- Alert triggers via monitoring system
- Notification sent to on-call engineer
- Incident ticket auto-created

## Phase 2: Triage (< 5 minutes)

1. Acknowledge alert
2. Check monitoring dashboards
3. Assess severity (SEV-1/2/3)
4. Escalate if needed

## Phase 3: Investigation (< 30 minutes)

1. Review recent deployments
2. Check logs (ELK/CloudWatch/Datadog)
3. Analyze metrics and traces
4. Identify root cause

## Phase 4: Mitigation

- **If deployment issue**: Rollback via release-coordinator
- **If infrastructure issue**: Scale/restart via devops-engineer
- **If application bug**: Hotfix via bug-hunter

## Phase 5: Recovery Verification

1. Confirm SLI metrics return to normal
2. Monitor error rate for 30 minutes
3. Update incident ticket

## Phase 6: Post-Mortem (Within 48 hours)

- Use post-mortem template
- Conduct blameless review
- Identify action items
- Update runbooks

Observability Architecture

Three Pillars of Observability

1. Logs (Structured Logging)
typescript
// Example: Structured log format
{
  "timestamp": "2025-11-16T12:00:00Z",
  "level": "error",
  "service": "user-api",
  "trace_id": "abc123",
  "span_id": "def456",
  "user_id": "user-789",
  "error": "Database connection timeout",
  "latency_ms": 5000
}
2. Metrics (Time-Series Data)
# Prometheus metrics examples
http_requests_total{method="GET", status="200"} 1500
http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{le="0.1"} 1200
http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{le="0.5"} 1450
3. Traces (Distributed Tracing)
User Request
  ├─ API Gateway (50ms)
  ├─ Auth Service (20ms)
  ├─ User Service (150ms)
  │   ├─ Database Query (100ms)
  │   └─ Cache Lookup (10ms)
  └─ Response (10ms)
Total: 240ms

Post-Mortem Template

markdown
# Post-Mortem: [Incident Title]

**Date**: [YYYY-MM-DD]
**Duration**: [Start time] - [End time] ([Total duration])
**Severity**: [SEV-1/2/3]
**Affected Services**: [List services]
**Impact**: [Number of users, requests, revenue impact]

## Timeline

| Time  | Event                                                     |
| ----- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| 12:00 | Alert triggered: High error rate                          |
| 12:05 | On-call engineer acknowledged                             |
| 12:15 | Root cause identified: Database connection pool exhausted |
| 12:30 | Mitigation: Increased connection pool size                |
| 12:45 | Service recovered, monitoring continues                   |

## Root Cause

[Detailed explanation of what caused the incident]

## Resolution

[Detailed explanation of how the incident was resolved]

## Action Items

- [ ] Increase database connection pool default size
- [ ] Add alert for connection pool saturation
- [ ] Update capacity planning documentation
- [ ] Conduct load testing with higher concurrency

## Lessons Learned

**What Went Well**:

- Alert detection was immediate
- Rollback procedure worked smoothly

**What Could Be Improved**:

- Connection pool monitoring was missing
- Load testing didn't cover this scenario

Health Check Endpoints

typescript
// Readiness probe (is service ready to handle traffic?)
app.get('/health/ready', async (req, res) => {
  try {
    await database.ping();
    await redis.ping();
    res.status(200).json({ status: 'ready' });
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(503).json({ status: 'not ready', error: error.message });
  }
});

// Liveness probe (is service alive?)
app.get('/health/live', (req, res) => {
  res.status(200).json({ status: 'alive' });
});

Integration with Other Skills

  • Before: devops-engineer deploys application to production
  • After:
    • Monitors production health
    • Triggers bug-hunter for incidents
    • Triggers release-coordinator for rollbacks
    • Reports to project-manager on SLO compliance
  • Uses: steering/tech.md for monitoring stack selection

Workflow

Phase 1: SLO Definition (Based on Requirements)

  1. Read storage/specs/[feature]-requirements.md
  2. Identify non-functional requirements (performance, availability)
  3. Define SLIs and SLOs
  4. Calculate error budgets

Phase 2: Monitoring Stack Setup

  1. Check steering/tech.md for approved monitoring tools
  2. Configure monitoring platform (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, etc.)

Frequently asked questions

What does the Site Reliability Engineer AI skill do?

Production monitoring, observability, SLO/SLI management, and incident response. Trigger terms: monitoring, observability, SRE, site reliability, alerting, incident response, SLO, SLI, error budget, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, ELK stack, logs, metrics, traces, on-call, production monitoring, health checks, uptime, availability, dashboards, post-mortem, incident management, runbook.

Why use Site Reliability Engineer on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Site Reliability Engineer is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Site Reliability Engineer in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/nahisaho/MUSUBI/tree/main/src/templates/agents/claude-code/skills/site-reliability-engineer. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Site Reliability Engineer?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Site Reliability Engineer?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Site Reliability Engineer with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Site Reliability Engineer AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by nahisaho under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
