5	## When to Use This Skill
6
7	- Setting up distributed tracing across services
8	- Implementing service mesh metrics and dashboards
9	- Debugging latency and error issues
10	- Defining SLOs for service communication
11	- Visualizing service dependencies
12	- Troubleshooting mesh connectivity

14	## Core Concepts

16	### 1. Three Pillars of Observability
17
18	```
19	┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
20	│ Observability │
21	├─────────────────┬─────────────────┬─────────────────┤
22	│ Metrics │ Traces │ Logs │
23	│ │ │ │
24	│ • Request rate │ • Span context │ • Access logs │
25	│ • Error rate │ • Latency │ • Error details │
26	│ • Latency P50 │ • Dependencies │ • Debug info │
27	│ • Saturation │ • Bottlenecks │ • Audit trail │
28	└─────────────────┴─────────────────┴─────────────────┘

32
33	\| Signal \| Description \| Alert Threshold \|
34	\| -------------- \| ------------------------- \| ----------------- \|
35	\| Latency \| Request duration P50, P99 \| P99 > 500ms \|
36	\| Traffic \| Requests per second \| Anomaly detection \|
37	\| Errors \| 5xx error rate \| > 1% \|
38	\| Saturation \| Resource utilization \| > 80% \|

42	Full template library and detailed worked examples live in `references/details.md`. Read that file when you need the concrete templates.
43
44	## Best Practices
45
46	### Do's
47
48	- Sample appropriately - 100% in dev, 1-10% in prod
49	- Use trace context - Propagate headers consistently
50	- Set up alerts - For golden signals
51	- Correlate metrics/traces - Use exemplars
52	- Retain strategically - Hot/cold storage tiers
53
54	### Don'ts
55
56	- Don't over-sample - Storage costs add up
57	- Don't ignore cardinality - Limit label values
58	- Don't skip dashboards - Visualize dependencies
59	- Don't forget costs - Monitor observability costs
