Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned personamanagmentlayer/pcl at 79ccaa9820.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The Prometheus Expert skill enables AI agents to provide in-depth knowledge and troubleshooting assistance for Prometheus monitoring systems. It covers metrics collection, PromQL queries, recording rules, alerting rules, service discovery, and production operations. The agent can help design and manage comprehensive observability systems based on industry best practices, including installation and configuration details.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting issues with existing Prometheus setups.
  • Designing a new Prometheus monitoring system from scratch.
  • Optimizing PromQL queries for performance or accuracy.
  • Creating alerting rules based on specific metrics.
  • Understanding the components of a Prometheus stack (Prometheus Server, Alertmanager, Pushgateway, Exporters).

Key capabilities

  • Expertise in Prometheus architecture and its core components.
  • Knowledge of installation procedures, including Kubernetes deployments using Helm and the Prometheus Operator.
  • Ability to interpret and modify prometheus.yml configuration files.
  • Understanding of service discovery mechanisms within a Kubernetes environment.
  • Proficiency with PromQL query language for data retrieval and analysis.

Example prompts

  • "How do I install Prometheus on my Kubernetes cluster using Helm?"
  • "Can you help me write a PromQL query to find the average CPU utilization across all pods in the 'monitoring' namespace?"
  • "What are the key differences between Alertmanager and Pushgateway?"

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill assumes familiarity with basic Kubernetes concepts.
  • Configuration examples provided are for demonstration purposes and may require adjustments based on your specific environment.
  • To get the most out of this skill, provide clear context about your Prometheus setup (e.g., version, cluster details).
