AI Coding Agents Observability And Evals

Use this skill to design or review the feedback loop around a coding-agent runtime: traces, replayable transcripts, eval packs, regression gates, tool-call grading, latency and cost accounting, and production failure triage.

This skill covers how you operate a coding-agent product after the core runtime exists. It does not replace the runtime skills themselves.

When To Use

Design tracing and replay for a coding-agent CLI
Add regression evals for coding, review, or task-execution agents
Evaluate whether a coding agent preserves correctness and structural quality while extending its own workspace across evolving specifications
Grade tool calls, patch quality, verification behavior, or handoff quality
Build latency, token, and cost accounting for agent sessions
Review how incidents and bad runs should be debugged from stored traces

Default Workflow

Define the trace spine. Session, turn, tool call, approval, worker, and verification events should share one correlation model.
Store replay-safe artifacts. Persist prompts, tool inputs, outputs, diffs, approvals, and synthesized summaries with enough structure to replay failures.
Separate product telemetry from eval telemetry. Production traces describe what happened; eval runs describe whether it was acceptable.
Build golden task packs. Keep a representative set of coding, review, debugging, multi-agent, and iterative self-extension tasks with stable scoring rubrics.
Grade behavior, not just final output. Score tool choice, verification discipline, retry loops, escalation quality, and cost efficiency.
Keep telemetry cardinality under control. Stable prompt IDs, opaque hashes, and bounded error categories belong in event payloads; high-cardinality strings do not belong in metrics dimensions.
Attach release gates to deltas. Compare candidate changes against a known baseline for quality, cost, latency, failure-mode drift, and—when work carries across checkpoints—trajectory slope and late-checkpoint regressions.
Instrument incident triage. A bad run should be trace-searchable by repo, user, session, tool, provider, worker, and error family.
Review regressions continuously. Add new real failures back into the eval corpus so the system hardens over time.

Host Rules

Keep one canonical trace ID across the entire session lifecycle.
Preserve causal order for tool calls, approvals, worker messages, and verification passes.
Keep event ordering monotonic within a session even when log sinks or transports are asynchronous.
Store enough normalized state to debug a run without depending on transient UI rendering.
Score traces at multiple layers: final answer, tool behavior, and workflow correctness.
Preserve checkpoint and workspace lineage for iterative evals; a final snapshot cannot explain when extensibility was lost.
Track token and cost usage per turn and per subsystem, not only per session total.
Use eval results to block releases when quality or cost drift exceeds explicit thresholds.
Hash or redact user-identifying plugin or extension data before it becomes telemetry dimensions.

Scratch-Rebuild Coverage

Coverage strength: strong for trace correlation, replay-safe storage, multi-layer grading, release-gate framing, and the need to trace recovery-class events
Missing for faithful reproduction: low-cardinality telemetry discipline, reconnect and recovery event classes, approval-cancel telemetry, task-budget-versus-token-budget accounting, and incident-first trace queries need more explicit treatment
Required additions: document trace events for reconnect, cancellation, fallback activation, recovery class, worker escalation, and plugin lifecycle changes, plus the eval rubric fields that map those events back to product quality without exploding metric cardinality

Build Order

Define the canonical trace and correlation model.
Persist replay-safe prompts, tool IO, approvals, and diffs.
Add event sequencing, redaction, and low-cardinality telemetry rules.
Add per-turn and per-subsystem usage accounting.
Add production search and incident-debug views over traces.
Build eval corpora and scoring rubrics from real tasks.
Attach release gates to baseline deltas in quality, cost, and failure drift.

Core Invariants

Every meaningful runtime action must be trace-correlated.
Production telemetry and eval telemetry are different datasets with different purposes.
Replay must not depend on ephemeral UI state.
Cost accounting must explain which subsystem and provider consumed budget.
Real failures should feed the eval corpus over time.
Metrics dimensions must stay low-cardinality even when trace events carry richer detail.

Failure Modes

Trace fragments that cannot be joined across tool calls, approvals, or workers.
Incident debugging blocked because only rendered output was stored.
Eval suites scoring final answers while missing workflow regressions.
Cost spikes that cannot be attributed to provider, tool, or worker class.
Release gates based on synthetic tasks that miss real production failures.
Green tests at a final checkpoint masking steadily worsening extension robustness or structural quality.
Metrics or dashboards becoming unusable because free-form strings were emitted as dimensions.

Minimal Viable Version

One canonical trace ID and turn correlation model.
One replay-safe storage shape for prompts, tool calls, outputs, and approvals.
One searchable incident view over stored traces.
One golden-task eval pack with stable rubrics.
One carried-workspace trajectory with per-checkpoint correctness, quality, cost, and duration when the product performs repeated repository edits.
One low-cardinality telemetry policy for event fields versus metrics dimensions.
One explicit threshold for blocking regressions in quality or cost.

What Strong Implementations Add

Recovery-specific trace events for reconnect, fallback, cancellation, and continuation.
Per-subsystem cost and latency slices.
Twin-column telemetry patterns with redacted or hashed identifiers where needed.
Eval grading for verification discipline, escalation quality, and retry behavior.
Continuous ingestion of real production failures into regression packs.
Rollout gates that compare candidate builds to known-good baselines.
Iterative self-extension packs that compare candidate and baseline trajectories, including degradation slope and late-checkpoint behavior rather than only final scores.
A closed-loop harness self-evolution layer that turns the eval corpus into an optimizer signal (see references/harness-self-evolution.md) — advanced, not MVP.

Known Traps

Logging only user-visible messages and losing the tool, permission, retry, and fallback evidence needed to explain failures.
Designing replay as a transcript export instead of a structured artifact set that can reconstruct routing, tool calls, and decision boundaries.
Aggregating eval, runtime, and cost signals into one scoreboard and making regressions impossible to attribute.
Tagging telemetry with raw prompts, provider payloads, or user data that should have been redacted or hashed before export.
Shipping evaluation suites that reward benchmark gains while ignoring recoverability, debuggability, and operational failure modes.
Treating an anti-slop or plan-first prompt as a durable quality control without measuring what happens after repeated extensions.

Common Anti-Patterns

Logging only the final answer and calling it observability.
Treating replay as a transcript screenshot rather than structured artifacts.
Mixing production telemetry and eval metrics into one undifferentiated score.
Measuring only session-total cost with no attribution.
Emitting raw provider, plugin, or prompt text into metrics tags.
Shipping on benchmark wins while ignoring incident-debuggability.

Iterative Self-Extension Trajectories

Single-shot correctness and green tests do not prove extension robustness. Add a versioned iterative pack when the agent is expected to revisit the same codebase: each checkpoint supplies an evolved external specification and the agent continues from its own prior workspace. Record fresh checkpoint context separately from the carried code so the eval measures the consequences of earlier design choices rather than conversation recall.

For every checkpoint, persist lineage plus the outcome vector: trajectory_id, checkpoint_id, parent_checkpoint_id, spec_version, workspace identity and content hash, strict/isolated/core/regression results, erosion, verbosity, cost, and duration. Compare candidate and baseline trajectories on both level and slope. A release review should surface worsening structural-quality slope or a late-checkpoint correctness regression even when the final aggregate score is green. Derive product-specific gates from a representative baseline and repeated runs; SlopCodeBench does not establish universal thresholds.
