golang-observability
Golang everyday observability — the always-on signals in production. Covers structured logging with slog, Prometheus metrics, OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, continuous profiling with pprof/Pyroscope, server-side RUM event tracking, alerting, and Grafana dashboards. Apply when instrumenting Go services for production monitoring, setting up metrics or alerting, adding OpenTelemetry tracing, correlating logs with traces, migrating legacy loggers (zap/logrus/zerolog) to slog, adding observability to new features, or implementing GDPR/CCPA-compliant tracking with Customer Data Platforms (CDP). Not for temporary deep-dive performance investigation (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-benchmark` and `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-performance` skills).
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "samber/cc-skills-golang:golang-observability" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/samber/cc-skills-golang /tmp/cc-skills-golang && ln -s /tmp/cc-skills-golang/skills/golang-observability ~/.claude/skills/golang-observabilityFrom README
Go Observability Best Practices Observability is the ability to understand a system's internal state from its external outputs. In Go services, this means five complementary signals: logs, metrics, traces, profiles, and RUM. Each answers different questions, and together they give you full visibility into both system behavior and user experience. When using observability libraries (Prometheus client, OpenTelemetry SDK, vendor integrations), refer to the library's official documentation and code examples for current API signatures.
