What Setup Synthetic Monitoring is
Setup Synthetic Monitoring is a slash command published in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository on GitHub, which has about 2.8k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com.”
A slash command is a reusable prompt saved as a markdown file and run by typing its name after a slash. In Claude Code, custom commands have been merged into skills: a file in .claude/commands/ and a skill folder in .claude/skills/ both create the same kind of command, and existing command files keep working.
Setup Synthetic Monitoring gives you a repeatable way to run the same instructions without retyping them, optionally with arguments.
How to install Setup Synthetic Monitoring
Claude Code
- Download setup-synthetic-monitoring.md from the repository.
- Save it to ~/.claude/commands/ (all projects) or .claude/commands/ (one project). As a skill, you can instead save it as ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
- Run it by typing / followed by its name.
Claude Cowork
- Turn the command into a skill: create a folder with the file saved as SKILL.md and zip it.
- In Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
- Run it from any task with / and the skill name.

Implement proactive synthetic monitoring to track performance and availability.
Monitoring Types
- Uptime Monitoring: Endpoint availability checks
- Transaction Monitoring: Critical user journey simulation
- API Monitoring: Endpoint response time and correctness
- Multi-location Testing: Geographic performance variation
- SSL Certificate Monitoring: Certificate expiration tracking
Process
- Identify critical endpoints and user journeys
- Design monitoring scenarios
- Configure monitoring tools (Pingdom, Datadog Synthetics, etc.)
- Set up multi-location testing
- Define alert thresholds
- Create response playbooks
Output
Provide:
- Monitoring configuration for chosen platform
- Test scripts for critical transactions
- Multi-location test setup
- Alert rule definitions
- Dashboard configuration
- Incident response procedures
- Integration with existing monitoring stack
Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
