Production Investigation

Structured workflows for investigating production issues in Honeycomb — the sequence of tool calls (context priming, broad query, BubbleUp, trace analysis, verification) and how to chain results between steps to reach root causes. Trigger phrases: "investigate production issue", "debug latency spike", "find root cause", "use BubbleUp", "analyze traces", "debug an outage", "why is my API slow", "errors are increasing", "health check", "SLO burning", or any request to investigate or debug production problems.
Add to a SourceWeft workspace
- Open the skill in your dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable it for the chats that should use it.
This skill is instructions only: it ships no scripts to execute.
Add to SourceWeftYou will be asked to sign in first, then taken straight to this skill.
Ask your agent to install it
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent that can run commands — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this skill's install guide, shows you its source, license and scripts, and installs it with the SourceWeft CLI once you agree.
Read https://sourceweft.com/skills/gh-honeycombio-agent-skill-production-investigation/install.md and install the skill it describes. Before installing, show me its source, license and whether it ships scripts, and wait for my OK. Ask me before changing anything else on my machine.Install it yourself from a terminal
For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other local agents. The SourceWeft CLI fetches the skill from its source repository at the commit scanned here, and verifies every file against the hashes recorded when the skill was scanned. If anything differs, nothing is written.
npx @sourceweft/cli skills install gh-honeycombio-agent-skill-production-investigationAdd --agent claude-code, codex, cursor or universal to choose which agent gets it (Claude Code by default).
Upstream installer — not verified by SourceWeft
The open-source skills installer fetches the same pinned commit, but does not check the files against the hashes SourceWeft recorded.

Observability Fundamentals
honeycombio
First principles behind observability — wide events, high cardinality, the core analysis loop, events vs metrics vs logs, and how instrumentation connects to debugging outcomes. Grounds recommendations in first principles rather than tool-specific how-to. Trigger phrases: "what is observability", "why observability", "why Honeycomb", "events vs metrics vs logs", "events vs metrics", "events vs logs", "metrics vs logs", "why wide events", "what is high cardinality", "core analysis loop", "observability vs monitoring", "what is dimensionality", "explain observability", or any conceptual question about observability or why Honeycomb's approach differs from traditional monitoring.
