Reliability

error-handling-patterns helps teams choose exceptions vs Result types, classify failures, propagate context, and design graceful degradation for more reliable APIs and services.

python-resilience is a guidance skill for safer Python failure handling with retries, exponential backoff, jitter, timeouts, and bounded retry windows. Use it to install practical resilience patterns for external calls and apply tenacity-style wrappers with clearer retry rules.

Use the slo-implementation skill to define SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and burn-rate alerts for Reliability work. It helps teams turn service goals into measurable targets with PromQL-style examples and practical guidance from SKILL.md.

istio-traffic-management helps teams draft Istio traffic policies like VirtualService, DestinationRule, Gateway, and ServiceEntry for canary, retries, circuit breaking, and mirroring. Use it to translate deployment intent into clear routing and resilience manifests with practical prompts and review checks.

linkerd-patterns helps teams apply Linkerd patterns for Kubernetes workloads, including mTLS, sidecar injection, traffic splits, retries, timeouts, service profiles, and multi-cluster planning for Deployment-based rollouts.

Learn the on-call-handoff-patterns skill for reliable shift transitions. Use it to structure incident handoffs, capture active issues, recent changes, escalation state, and next actions for Reliability teams.

incident-runbook-templates helps teams create structured incident response runbooks with clear triage, mitigation, escalation, communication, and recovery steps for outages and operational Playbooks.
