# Observability Designer (POWERFUL)

**Category:** Engineering  
**Tier:** POWERFUL  
**Description:** Design comprehensive observability strategies for production systems including SLI/SLO frameworks, alerting optimization, and dashboard generation.

## Overview

Observability Designer creates production-ready dashboards, alert configurations, and monitoring strategies across the three pillars (metrics, logs, traces).

**When NOT to use → slo-architect.** For SLO/SLI design with error-budget math, multi-window burn-rate alerting thresholds, and SLO review gates, route to `slo-architect` — it is the authoritative skill for that half. This skill's `slo_designer.py` produces a quick scaffold only. This skill's lane: dashboards (`dashboard_generator.py`) and alert-noise reduction (`alert_optimizer.py`).
