SKILL.md# /fix-observability
Fix the highest priority observability gap.
## What This Does
1. Invoke `/check-observability` to audit monitoring
2. Identify highest priority gap
3. Fix that one issue
4. Verify the fix
5. Report what was done
**This is a fixer.** It fixes one issue at a time. Run again for next issue. Use `/observability` for full setup.
## Process
### 1. Run Primitive
Invoke `/check-observability` skill to get prioritized findings.
### 2. Fix Priority Order
Fix in this order:
1. **P0**: No error tracking, no health endpoint
2. **P1**: Sentry config, structured logging, alerting
3. **P2**: Analytics, console cleanup
4. **P3**: Performance monitoring
### 3. Execute Fix
**No error tracking (P0):**
```bash
pnpm add @sentry/nextjs
npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i nextjs
```
Or manual setup:
```bash
~/.claude/skills/sentry-observability/scripts/init_sentry.sh
```
**No health endpoint (P0):**
Create `app/api/health/route.ts`:
```typescript
export async function GET() {
const checks = {
status: 'ok',
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
// Add service checks as needed
};
return Response.json(checks);
}
```
**Sentry misconfigured (P1):**
Add to `.env.local`:
```
NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN=your-dsn
SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN=your-token
SENTRY_ORG=your-org
SENTRY_PROJECT=your-project
```
**No structured logging (P1):**
```bash
pnpm add pino
```
Create `lib/logger.ts`:
```typescript
import pino from 'pino';
export const logger = pino({
level: process.env.LOG_LEVEL || 'info',
});
```
**No alerting (P1):**
Create alert via Sentry CLI or scripts:
```bash
~/.claude/skills/sentry-observability/scripts/create_alert.sh --name "New Errors" --type issue
```
**No PostHog analytics (P1):**
1. Install dependency:
```bash
pnpm add posthog-js
```
2. Create analytics module from template:
- Source: `~/.claude/skills/observability/references/posthog-patterns.md`
- Target: `lib/analytics/posthog.ts`
3. Create PostHogProvider:
- Target: `components/providers/PostHogProvider.tsx`
- If Clerk detected, include user identification integration
4. Update `app/layout.tsx`:
- Wrap children with `<PostHogProvider>`
- Place inside existing providers (ClerkProvider, ConvexClientProvider)
5. Add env vars to `.env.example`:
```bash
# PostHog [REQUIRED] - Product analytics
NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_KEY=
NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_HOST=https://us.i.posthog.com
```
6. Verify setup:
```bash
pnpm dev
# Open browser, check PostHog debug mode shows events
# Check PostHog dashboard for incoming events
```
**PostHog installed but not configured (P2):**
Add to `.env.local`:
```
NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_KEY=phc_xxx # From PostHog project settings
NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_HOST=https://us.i.posthog.com
```
### 4. Verify
After fix:
```bash
# Sentry works
~/.claude/skills/sentry-observability/scripts/verify_setup.sh
# Health endpoint works
curl -s http://localhost:3000/api/health | jq
```
### 5. Report
```
Fixed: [P0] No error tracking
Installed: @sentry/nextjs
Configured: sentry.client.config.ts, sentry.server.config.ts
Added: SENTRY_DSN to .env.local
Verified: Sentry SDK initialized
Next highest priority: [P0] No health endpoint
Run /fix-observability again to continue.
```
## Branching
