▌
Secure · grafana
Security audit — frontend (F1-F6 rules from `.cursor/rules/frontend-security.mdc`), Go backend (URL allowlists, token handling, hardcoded secrets, unbounded reads), MCP HTTP transport (size / wallclock / concurrency caps, Zod-validated tool inputs), and dependency audit (`npm audit` high+critical, Go module advisories). Reports findings with concrete remediation per rule. Never edits source — the user applies fixes.

10 installs
▌
Refactor · grafana bundle
Execute high-risk refactors of large or intertwined components per the High-Risk Refactor Guidelines wiki — investigation, phased planning, and atomic-commit execution with subagent fan-out and worktree isolation. Use when the user invokes /refactor-investigate, /refactor-plan, or /refactor-execute, or asks to refactor a large component, split a complex hook, decompose a singleton, extract from a monolith, or otherwise restructure intertwined code.

4 installs
▌
Techdebt · grafana bundle
Locate technical debt in a subsystem or architectural component of a codebase. Use when the user runs `/techdebt <subsystem>` or asks to audit a module for smells, duplication, prop drilling, dead code, or other debt patterns. Examples: "/techdebt src/auth", "find tech debt in components/docs-panel", "audit the interactive-engine for smells".

▌
Changelog · grafana
Draft a CHANGELOG.md entry from merged PRs since the last release tag. Categorizes by conventional-commit prefix (Added / Fixed / Chore / Security / Changed / Removed), rewrites PR titles into sentence-case narrative bullets with PR refs, and commits to the current branch without pushing. Use when preparing a release, or call this skill from `/release-prep`.

5 installs
▌
I18N Sync · grafana
Detect translation gaps across the 21 locales under `src/locales/`. For keys present in `en-US` but missing from another locale, add the key with an empty string value (matching the runtime fallback to the en-US default). Emit a gap report (filled / empty / stale counts per locale + the list of newly stubbed keys). Never invents translations; translators fill the empty stubs later.

▌
Pr Summary · grafana
Generate a structured PR description from the current diff using `docs/design/CONCERNS.md` routing. Interviews the author for motivation before drafting. Produces canonical sections (Summary, What to look at, Why, How to verify, Breaking changes, Reversibility) tailored to change type. Outputs the draft for human review; can apply via `gh pr edit` after explicit confirmation. Pair with `/review` — this skill drafts, `/review` reviews.

5 installs
▌
Release Prep · grafana
Orchestrate the pre-release flow for grafana-pathfinder-app — bump the version in package.json, draft a CHANGELOG entry (via the `changelog` skill), run `npm run check` and `npm run build`, then print the exact `git tag` command for the user to execute. Never creates or pushes the tag itself; tagging is a one-way door the user owns.

6 installs
▌
Design Review · grafana bundle
Principal engineer level architecture design review and critique. Use when the user asks for design review, architecture feedback, design partnership, risk analysis of a design doc, or wants to drive ambiguity out of a plan. Never writes code; operates as a conversational design partner.

4 installs
▌
Comment Hygiene · grafana
The full QC8 comment-quality catalog — eight bad comment shapes to delete with before/after examples, plus the keep-list of comments that earn their place. Load before writing or editing code comments, when a review flags comment quality, or to cite a QC8 shape number. AGENTS.md carries the rule and the keep-list; this skill carries the shape titles and the worked examples.

6 installs
▌
Create Experiment · grafana
Set up a new A/B experiment in Grafana Pathfinder end to end — MTFF flag, variant validation, enrollment seam, exposure and behaviour analytics, QA overrides, tests, docs, and a retirement plan. Use when the user runs `/create-experiment`, asks to add or run an experiment or A/B test, add a treatment/control variant, gate a feature behind an experiment flag, or wire exposure tracking. Also use when reviewing or retiring an existing experiment.

5 installs
▌
Prevent Doc Drift · grafana
Per-PR documentation-drift prevention. When a PR adds new code subsystems, scripts, skills, docs, plugin routes, feature flags, or changes architecture relationships, this skill produces the AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and .cursor/rules/ updates needed in the same PR so agent guidance never falls behind the code. Use this on /review or directly before merge.

7 installs
▌
E2e Guide Analysis · grafana

▌
Docs Pr Check · grafana bundle
Assess documentation status for PRs — classify gaps, identify existing docs that need updating, and flag UI changes that may affect screenshots. Use when the user asks to check docs coverage for PRs, triage documentation needs, audit PRs for missing docs, assess whether a set of changes needs documentation, or check what recently merged PRs need docs.

5 installs
▌
Docs Pr Write · grafana bundle
Write or update product documentation for user-facing PR changes. Use when the user asks to write docs for a PR, document a PR, update existing docs based on a code change, process PRs flagged by docs-pr-check, or provides PR numbers or links and wants the corresponding documentation created or updated — even if they say "document these changes" without mentioning PRs explicitly. This skill writes and updates docs only; it does not triage PRs (use docs-pr-check), review existing docs (use docs-review), or generate release notes.

9 installs
▌
Docs Workflow · grafana bundle
End-to-end workflow for PR documentation — check, write, review, and optionally validate screenshots. Use when the user wants to document one or more PRs from start to finish, run the full docs pipeline, or asks for a complete documentation pass on PRs.

4 installs
▌
Persona Check · grafana bundle
Use this skill to assess whether documentation content fits its intended audience. Identifies the target persona (Learner, Practitioner, Expert, Operator), use case, and entry state, then flags mismatches between the content and what that audience needs. Use when the user asks to check persona fit, review audience alignment, asks "who is this page for?", questions whether content is at the right level of detail, or mentions /persona-check. Also use when reviewing a PR where content seems too advanced, too basic, or aimed at the wrong reader. This is not for style guide, grammar, or link checking — use docs-review for those.

K6 Perf Test Website · grafana bundle
Use when the user wants to performance-test, load-test, or stress-test a public website end-to-end with k6. Produces a hybrid (protocol + browser) test suite, SLO-backed thresholds, a load-generator monitor sidecar, and a Grafana-side investigation playbook for backends the user owns. Triggers on "perf test my site", "performance test my site", "load test this URL", "stress test my web app", "I want to load test [URL]", "set up k6 against my website", "write a k6 suite for [site]", "see if my site handles N concurrent users", or "how does my site perform under traffic". Use this skill whenever the user mentions k6, load testing, stress testing, performance testing, or wants to validate a website under traffic — even if they don't explicitly use the word "test" or ask for the specific outputs this skill produces.

App Sdk Concepts · grafana bundle
Use when starting any grafana-app-sdk work — scaffolding a Grafana app, initializing a Grafana App Platform app, picking a deployment mode (standalone operator / grafana/apps / frontend-only), wiring app-specific config, or onboarding to the SDK. Covers `grafana-app-sdk` CLI install, `project init` per deployment mode, project layout, the schema-centric workflow (CUE kinds → generated code → reconciler/admission logic), and `SpecificConfig` for env-driven app configuration. Use even if the user just says "make a new app", "Grafana app platform", "kinds and watchers", "operator scaffold", or asks about `apps/` inside the Grafana repo, without naming the SDK explicitly.

Reconciler Logic · grafana bundle
Implement reconcilers and watchers for grafana-app-sdk apps — write `TypedReconciler[*MyKind]` reconcile functions, apply generation-based skip patterns, do conflict-safe status updates via `resource.UpdateObject`, configure `BasicReconcileOptions` (namespace, label/field filters, finalizer management), use `Watcher` for event-style handling, reconcile `UnmanagedKinds` (resources your app doesn't own), and register the whole thing in `app.go`. Use when writing a reconciler, implementing the reconcile loop, adding async business logic, handling create/update/delete events, processing resource state changes, scheduling periodic resyncs with `RequeueAfter`, picking between Watcher and Reconciler, or wiring a controller into `app.go` — even when the user says "process this resource", "handle X events", or "write a controller" without saying "reconciler".

Private Connectivity · grafana bundle
Set up private network connectivity to Grafana Cloud — AWS PrivateLink, Azure Private Link, GCP Private Service Connect, and Private Data Source Connect (PDC). Provisions VPC endpoints, private endpoints, or PSC forwarding rules per signal type (metrics / logs / traces / profiles); wires Alloy to push to the private DNS endpoint instead of the public one; verifies private DNS resolution + endpoint approval state. Use when sending telemetry to Grafana Cloud without traversing the public internet, eliminating cloud egress costs, meeting PCI-DSS / HIPAA / data-residency compliance, configuring PDC for private data-source queries, or connecting AWS / Azure / GCP workloads to Grafana — even when the user says "stop paying egress", "keep our telemetry off the public internet", or "PCI compliance for Grafana" without naming PrivateLink.

Cue Kind Definition · grafana bundle
Author CUE kind definitions for grafana-app-sdk apps - schemas, versioning, field constraints, named type definitions, custom routes, and codegen configuration. Scaffolds kinds via `grafana-app-sdk project kind add`, writes spec/status schemas with type constraints (regex, enum, range), defines `#`-prefixed named types for reusable structs, registers versions in the app manifest, and runs `grafana-app-sdk generate` with explicit error recovery. Use when working with CUE kinds, adding a new resource type, adding a version to an existing kind, writing schema field constraints, defining `#Definition` types, adding custom routes, editing files under `kinds/`, or when the user asks to "model a resource", "add a CUE schema", or "write a kind" — even without saying "CUE" explicitly.

K6 Cloud Investigate Test · grafana bundle
Investigate a Grafana Cloud k6 test — describe the script, list run history, identify pass/fail status, pull raw metric time-series and log lines for one or more runs, and (if asked) safely edit the test script. Use when the user asks about a specific k6 cloud test or run, gives a `/a/k6-app/tests/<id>` or `/a/k6-app/runs/<id>` URL, asks "is this test passing", "why are my k6 tests failing", "show me metrics for run X", "show me logs for run X", or wants to add thresholds / fix a failing test. Trigger this skill even when the user doesn't explicitly say "investigate" — pasted `/a/k6-app/...` URLs, "why did run X fail", "what happened with my test", "is my test healthy", "the latest run looks weird", "checks are failing but the run says passed", or any request to diagnose a Grafana Cloud k6 run all qualify.

Prometheus Label Strategy · grafana
Expert evaluator for Prometheus label strategy on Grafana Cloud. Audits, designs, and improves label schemas using cardinality scoring, access-pattern alignment, static vs. dynamic label rules, histogram bucket discipline, and instrumentation hygiene. Prevents high cardinality at the source — in application code and scrape target labels — without dropping labels that make series unique (which breaks the data). For reducing the cost of series already in Grafana Cloud, routes to the adaptive-metrics skill. Use when the user asks to evaluate, audit, design, or improve Prometheus labels — or asks how to prevent high cardinality at the source. For "why is my Prometheus slow / expensive right now" triage, see prometheus-cardinality-troubleshooter.

Synthetic Monitoring Checks · grafana bundle
Author Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring checks, with deep coverage of k6 scripted and browser checks: SM's single-VU/single-iteration execution model, assertions that actually fail probe_success (expect() and fail() vs bare check()), secrets, deterministic scripts, robust browser locators, local validation with k6 run, deployment via UI/API/Terraform, verifying probe_success, and rollback. Also helps choose the simplest sufficient check type (HTTP/ping/DNS/TCP, MultiHTTP, scripted, browser). Use when writing a synthetic check, monitoring a login/checkout/signup flow in production, converting a k6 script or an OpenAPI spec into a check, authoring a browser check, validating a user journey, or asking "is my site up from multiple regions". NOT for load, stress, or performance testing — SM runs one iteration per execution; for load tests use the grafana-k6 plugin or Grafana Cloud k6. For the broad Grafana Cloud Testing overview (SM + k6 Cloud + Faro), use the testing skill.

Add E2e Selectors · grafana
Add reliable @grafana/e2e-selectors to interactive elements and key containers in the Grafana frontend. Use when adding e2e selectors, data-testid attributes, or test selectors to React components, when a file or component lacks selectors for testing, or when asked to make elements testable. Also use when given a Grafana Pathfinder interactive guide (a guide directory or content.json) to audit or fix — it extracts the guide's reftarget selectors, identifies weak ones, and fixes them at the source in Grafana's JSX. Defines versioned selectors in the e2e-selectors package and wires data-testid into JSX. Accepts a file path, a list of targets, a directory, a pathfinder guide, or the current/open file.
