Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo --skill observe-metrics- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads observe-metrics automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Observe Metrics
Aggregate counters, gauges, and histograms from the observability namespace and flag anomalies.
When to use
When you need a snapshot of system health -- task completion rates, error rates, active agent counts, memory usage, and token consumption. Useful for monitoring swarm performance and detecting degradation.
Steps
- Retrieve metrics -- call
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search --namespace observability(ormemory_list) to fetch metric records for the specified period (default: 1 hour). Thememory_*tool family routes by namespace;agentdb_hierarchical-*does NOT, so usememory_*here. - Aggregate -- compute:
- Counters: sum totals (tasks_completed, errors, token_usage)
- Gauges: current values (active_agents, memory_usage_bytes)
- Histograms: p50, p95, p99 (task_duration_ms, span_duration_ms)
- Compute baselines -- call
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-search(ReasoningBank-routed; don't pass anamespaceargument — pattern-* tools ignore it) to establish baseline values for each metric. - Flag anomalies -- mark metrics deviating >2 standard deviations from baseline with direction (above/below) and severity
- Store patterns -- two paths (per ruflo-cost-tracker ADR-0001 dual-path pattern):
- Pattern store (typed, recommended):
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-storewithtype: 'metric-snapshot'. No namespace arg. - Plain store (namespace-routable):
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store --namespace observabilityfor the snapshot tied to a timestamp.
- Pattern store (typed, recommended):
- Report -- display: metric name, current value, baseline, deviation, trend (up/down/stable), anomaly flag; overall health score (green/yellow/red)
CLI alternative
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory search --query "system metrics for last hour" --namespace observability
FAQ
What does the observe-metrics skill do?

How do I install observe-metrics?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo --skill observe-metrics in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/observe-metrics/ (personal) or .claude/skills/observe-metrics/ (project).
Which AI agents can use observe-metrics?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is observe-metrics safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
