Slos And Triggers

Decision heuristics for interpreting Honeycomb SLO compliance, budget burn rates, and trigger status — what the numbers mean and what action to take, including detecting misconfigured SLIs, deciding when to freeze deploys vs page on-call, and designing burn alert thresholds. Load this skill before calling get_slos or get_triggers. Trigger phrases: "check our SLOs", "are we meeting our SLOs", "which SLOs are healthy", "is the error budget OK", "are any alerts firing", "what's the burn rate", "set up an SLO", "create a trigger", "configure alerts", "set up burn alerts", "check trigger status", "starting on-call", "reliability picture", "should we freeze deploys", "is this SLO misconfigured", "are we within budget", "SLO is broken", "budget is negative", or any request about service level objectives, error budgets, burn rates, or alerting in Honeycomb.
Only the file list is public. File contents are available once the skill is installed in a workspace.

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.
