sre-engineer
Defines service level objectives, creates error budget policies, designs incident response procedures, develops capacity models, and produces monitoring configurations and automation scripts for production systems. Use when defining SLIs/SLOs, managing error budgets, building reliable systems at scale, incident management, chaos engineering, toil reduction, or capacity planning.
npx skills add Jeffallan/claude-skills --skill sre-engineer --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.
# SRE Engineer ## Core Workflow 1. **Assess reliability** - Review architecture, SLOs, incidents, toil levels 2. **Define SLOs** - Identify meaningful SLIs and set appropriate targets 3. **Verify alignment** - Confirm SLO targets reflect user expectations before proceeding 4. **Implement monitoring** - Build golden signal dashboards and alerting 5. **Automate toil** - Identify repetitive tasks and build automation 6. **Test resilience** - Design and execute chaos experiments; verify recovery meets RTO/RPO targets before marking the experiment complete; validate recovery behavior end-to-end ## Reference Guide Load detailed guidance based on context: | Topic | Reference | Load When | |-------|-----------|-----------| | SLO/SLI | `references/slo-sli-management.md` | Defining SLOs, calculating error budgets | | Error Budgets | `references/error-budget-policy.md` | Managing budgets, burn rates, policies | | Monitoring | `references/monitoring-alerting.md` | Golden signals, alert design, dashboards | | Automation | `references/automation-toil.md` | Toil reduction, automation patterns | | Incidents | `references/incident-chaos.md` | Incident response, chaos engineering | ## Constraints ##

What does the sre-engineer skill do?
Defines service level objectives, creates error budget policies, designs incident response procedures, develops capacity models, and produces monitoring configurations and automation scripts for production systems. Use when defining SLIs/SLOs, managing error budgets, building reliable systems at scale, incident management, chaos engineering, toil reduction, or capacity planning.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Jeffallan/claude-skills --skill sre-engineer --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 Jeffallan/claude-skills, a repository with 10,871 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.
