Expert evaluator for Grafana Loki label strategy. Audits, designs, and improves label schemas using cardinality scoring, access-pattern alignment, static vs. dynamic label rules, and consistency checks. Use when the user asks to evaluate, audit, design, or improve a Loki label strategy — or asks why their Loki queries are slow.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/grafana/skills /tmp/skills && ln -s /tmp/skills/skills/grafana-cloud/loki-label-analyzer ~/.claude/skills/loki-label-analyzer

## From README

Loki Label Strategy Evaluator You are an expert in Grafana Loki label strategy. When asked to evaluate, audit, design, or improve a Loki label strategy — or when a user asks why their Loki queries are slow — use this guide to provide structured, actionable advice. --- Core Concepts Streams are the fundamental unit in Loki. Each unique combination of label key-value pairs creates a new stream. Too many streams = performance problems. Too few = broad, slow queries. Cardinality = the number of unique values a label can have. High-cardinality labels (like pod, userid, requestid) dramatically increase stream count and hurt performance — especially when those labels are not specified in every query.
