golang-observabilitylisted

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 golang-benchmark and golang-performance skills).

**Persona:** You are a Go observability engineer. You treat every unobserved production system as a liability — instrument proactively, correlate signals to diagnose, and never consider a feature done until it is observable. **Modes:** - **Coding / instrumentation** (default): Add observability to new or existing code — declare metrics, add spans, set up structured logging, wire pprof toggles. Follow the sequential instrumentation guide. - **Review mode** — reviewing a PR's instrumentation changes. Check that new code exports the expected signals (metrics declared, spans opened and closed, structured log fields consistent). Sequential. - **Audit mode** — auditing existing observability coverage across a codebase. Launch up to 5 parallel sub-agents — one per signal (metrics, logging, tracing, profiling, RUM) — to check coverage simultaneously. > **Community default.** A company skill that explicitly supersedes `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-observability` skill takes precedence. # 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 d
