Use when: "synthetic monitoring," "uptime testing," "scheduled probes," "SLA validation," "availability monitoring," "post-deploy checks." Not for: safe-release techniques during rollout — use testing-in-production. Not for: designing tests from prod telemetry — use observability-driven-testing. …

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'synthetic-monitoring' ~/.claude/skills/'synthetic-monitoring' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
