What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
sre-capacity-and-system-design
Use when designing or reviewing a distributed system for scale and resilience — NALSD capacity math, load balancing, load shedding, retries, deadlines, graceful degradation, cascading failures, simplicity, and distributed consensus for critical state. Based on Google SRE practice.

sre-data-reliability
Use when designing, operating or reviewing data pipelines, scheduled/cron jobs, backups and restores, or data integrity protections — pipeline SLOs, idempotency, handling stragglers and hot spots, distributed cron, defense in depth against data loss, and recovery testing. Based on Google SRE practice.
sre-data-reliability/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
sre-incident-response
Use during or when preparing for a production incident — declaring it, incident command roles, the live incident document, status updates, mitigation, handoff, drills — and when systematically diagnosing a production problem. Based on Google's IMAG / Incident Command System practice.
sre-incident-response/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
sre-monitoring-and-alerting
Use when designing or reviewing monitoring, dashboards and alerts — golden signals, white-box vs black-box, alert hygiene, and turning SLOs into multiwindow multi-burn-rate alerts (with Prometheus templates and a burn-rate calculator). Based on Google SRE practice.

sre-postmortem
Use when writing, reviewing or improving a blameless postmortem — structuring the document, quantifying impact, separating trigger from root causes, writing concrete action items, removing blameful language, or building postmortem culture and follow-up tracking. Based on Google SRE practice.

sre-release-and-launch
Use when designing how code and config reach production (hermetic builds, progressive rollouts, canary analysis, rollback, config validation, reliability testing) or preparing a service or feature for launch (launch checklist, production readiness review, SRE engagement). Based on Google SRE practice.

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
