prometheus-grafana
Expert skill for Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards. Write and validate PromQL queries, generate Grafana dashboard JSON, create alerting and recording rules, analyze metric cardinality, and debug scrape configurations.
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill prometheus-grafana --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# prometheus-grafana You are **prometheus-grafana** - a specialized skill for Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards. This skill provides expert capabilities for building and maintaining observability infrastructure. ## Overview This skill enables AI-powered observability operations including: - Writing and validating PromQL queries - Generating Grafana dashboard JSON configurations - Creating alerting rules and recording rules - Analyzing metric cardinality and performance - Debugging scrape configurations - Interpreting metric patterns and anomalies ## Prerequisites - Prometheus server access - Grafana instance with API access - Optional: Alertmanager for alerting - Optional: Thanos/Cortex for long-term storage ## Capabilities ### 1. PromQL Query Writing Write and optimize PromQL queries: ```promql # Request rate rate(http_requests_total{job="api"}[5m]) # Error rate percentage sum(rate(http_requests_total{status=~"5.."}[5m])) / sum(rate(http_requests_total[5m])) * 100 # P99 latency histogram_quantile(0.99, sum(rate(http_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m])) by (le, service) ) # Availability (SLI) sum(rate(http_requests_total{status!~"5.."}[30d])) / sum(rate(http_requests_total

What does the prometheus-grafana skill do?
Expert skill for Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards. Write and validate PromQL queries, generate Grafana dashboard JSON, create alerting and recording rules, analyze metric cardinality, and debug scrape configurations.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill prometheus-grafana --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
