Site Reliability Engineering
Build practical reliability practices around the work teams actually perform: measurable service objectives, useful alerts, incident response, and learning-oriented follow-up.
Why Install This Skill
Build practical reliability practices around the work teams actually perform: measurable service objectives, useful alerts, incident response, and learning-oriented follow-up. It preserves a practical method, local reference material, and reusable templates so an agent can do more than produce a generic answer, with an explicit closure gate that prevents a cleared alert from being mistaken for proven recovery.
Use it when the work needs a repeatable process and an inspectable result. It is portable across Agent Skills-compatible clients and does not require a profile system or a particular task orchestrator.
What You Get
| Path | What it provides |
|---|---|
SKILL.md |
Trigger conditions, workflow, operational closure gate, and guidance for loading deeper resources. |
references/ |
Reference material for SLOs, incidents, on-call, toil, troubleshooting, product engagement, adoption, reliability design, human systems, and the SRE learning ecosystem. |
templates/ |
Templates for SLOs, error budgets, incident response, runbooks, service reviews, reliability design reviews, and overload recovery. |
scripts/ |
Scripts: slo-burn-rate.py |
Quick Start
Start with the SLO/SLI, incident-command, service-review, reliability-design-review, or operational-overload-recovery template that matches the work at hand.
Install or expose this directory using your agent's standard Agent Skills loading mechanism, then ask for work that matches the triggers below.
Triggers
- Design, operate, and improve reliable production systems with SLOs, incident command, observability, error budgets, and operational practices.
- Requests involving the method, deliverables, or review process described in
SKILL.md. - Work where a reusable template or reference from this skill would reduce avoidable mistakes.
- Work that adopts SRE practices without assuming a dedicated SRE department.
- Reliability design, capacity, overload, configuration, canary, dependency, durability, or operational-learning reviews.
Requirements
Python 3.9+ is required only for the bundled calculation and summary scripts.
Source and maintenance
This skill was extracted from magnus919/hermes-profiles at commit 867a555. The portable methodology was retained; Hermes-specific profile, orchestration, and memory assumptions were removed.
