Opentelemetry Instrumentation | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Use when adding distributed tracing, debugging missing spans, fixing W3C traceparent propagation, configuring OTLP exporters (gRPC vs HTTP), choosing sampling strategies, setting resource attributes, or wiring auto-instrumentation libraries. Triggers: spans missing in Datadog/Honeycomb/Jaeger, "service.name = unknownservice", trace assembly broken across services, async work losing context, OTLP collector unreachable, sampling rate decisions, ESM vs CJS auto-instrumentation loader bugs. NOT for vendor-specific SDKs (Datadog APM, New Relic), structured-logging-only setups, or pre-OTel tracers (Jaeger client, Zipkin Brave).
