Plano Observability and Debugging

SkillMonitoring & ops

Lets your agent analyze Plano traces to find root causes and improve tracing and debugging.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Plano Observability and Debugging skill

About this capability

Improve Plano tracing and debugging workflows. Use for sampling strategy, span attributes, and trace query-based root-cause analysis.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by katanemo/plano in skills/plano-observability-debugging/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use this skill to make routing and latency behavior inspectable and debuggable.

When To Use

  • "Enable tracing correctly"
  • "Add useful span attributes"
  • "Debug why a request routed incorrectly"
  • "Inspect filter/model latency from traces"

Apply These Rules

  • observe-tracing
  • observe-span-attributes
  • observe-trace-query

Execution Checklist

  1. Enable tracing with environment-appropriate sampling.
  2. Add useful static and header-derived span attributes.
  3. Use planoai trace filters to isolate route and latency issues.
  4. Prefer trace evidence over assumptions in recommendations.
  5. Return exact commands to reproduce and validate findings.
