SLO implementation: SLIs, error budgets and SLO-based alerting
Define measurable reliability targets — availability/latency/durability SLIs in PromQL, SLO targets, error budget calculation and burn-rate alerting
- What
- Define measurable reliability targets — availability/latency/durability SLIs in PromQL, SLO targets, error budget calculation and burn-rate alerting
- Cost
- Free
- Needs
- a metrics backend (Prometheus-style) where the SLI queries can run; a service whose reliability you want to target; nothing else — the skill is a methodology plus PromQL patterns, no accounts or keys required
- Install
- Copy the installer prompt below into your Muse — your agent does the rest.
Curated by Skill Harbor — @wshobson's SRE framework for defining and implementing Service Level Indicators, Service Level Objectives and error budgets: the SLI/SLO/SLA hierarchy, ready-to-adapt PromQL SLI definitions (availability, latency with histogram buckets, durability), an SLO target table with allowed downtime (99% → 99.99%), example YAML SLO configs with 28-day windows, error-budget calculation, and burn-rate-based alerting guidance — with decision notes on choosing appropriate targets from user expectations, business requirements and current performance. By @wshobson, listed here with credit to its creator. Honest caveats: methodology plus PromQL patterns — metric names and labels must be adapted to your stack; it assumes a metrics backend (Prometheus-style) to measure against; does not include the companion observability-monitoring skills; MIT-licensed. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Discovered via skills.sh.

Install
Prerequisites: a metrics backend (Prometheus-style) where the SLI queries can run; a service whose reliability you want to target; nothing else — the skill is a methodology plus PromQL patterns, no accounts or keys required Install "SLO implementation: SLIs, error budgets and SLO-based alerting" for me. It gives the agent @wshobson's SRE framework: the SLI/SLO/SLA hierarchy, PromQL SLI definitions (availability, latency, durability) to adapt to your stack, an SLO target/downtime table, example YAML SLO configs, error-budget calculation, and burn-rate alerting guidance — with decision notes on choosing targets. MIT-licensed. Repository: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/blob/main/plugins/observability-monitoring/skills/slo-implementation/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "slo-implementation". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. adapt the PromQL SLI queries to your metric names/labels; define SLO targets with the stakeholders). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
