Hi HN,We’re excited to share gcx, a new CLI we’ve been building for Grafana Cloud.With the rise of agentic coding tools like Claude Code and Codex we're building faster than ever, but these agents are often blind to what’s actually happening in production.gcx brings the full power of Grafana Cloud observability to your terminal. Query production. Investigate alerts. Let the Assistant root-cause issues. Ship fixes with observability built in. Without leaving your editor. gcx also comes packaged with a skills bundle that allow agents to see and act on your production telemetry. You can ask an agent to root-cause a latency spike, and it can actually fetch the telemetry, analyze the spans, and suggest a fix—all while having the full context of your codebase.Do check it out and give us feedback!Github link: https://github.com/grafana/gcx
