This plugin packages skills, agents, and a setup command that help AI coding assistants work with Honeycomb observability data, and it is meant to be used alongside the separate Honeycomb MCP server integration. According to the README, it bundles 9 skills covering query patterns, production investigation, SLOs and triggers, OpenTelemetry instrumentation and migration, Beeline migration, and board creation. It also includes two agents: one for autonomous multi-step production debugging and one that analyzes a codebase's instrumentation gaps against Honeycomb, plus a command for interactive MCP server setup. The README lists support for full plugin installation in tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Augment's Auggie CLI, and GitHub Copilot CLI, while some other tools require manually placing skill files and configuring the MCP server. A test suite is provided to validate the plugin's structure and hook behavior.
About the service
Honeycomb, per its homepage, is an observability platform for monitoring production software, offering distributed tracing, log analytics, metrics, SLOs, and observability features aimed at AI agents and LLMs. It provides an MCP server so AI coding agents can query production telemetry directly, and this plugin's skills and agents are built to complement that MCP server connection.
What you can do with honeycomb
- Delegate autonomous, multi-step production debugging to the honeycomb-investigator agent
- Run the instrumentation-advisor agent to compare your codebase's instrumentation against Honeycomb
- Set up the Honeycomb MCP server interactively with the /honeycomb-setup command
- Install the full plugin in Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Auggie CLI, or GitHub Copilot CLI, or manually configure skills and MCP in tools like VS Code Copilot, Codex CLI, or Cline
