- Otel BrowserOllyGardenOpenTelemetry browser/RUM mechanics for SPAs and MPAs. Use for “browser OTel,” “frontend observability,” “Web Vitals,” `sdk-trace-web`, `WebTracerProvider`, `browser-sdk`, browser instrumentations, page-load or route tracing, sessions, clicks, console capture, JavaScript errors, or frontend-to-backend trace correlation.
- Otel CollectorOllyGardenOpenTelemetry Collector component configuration. Use when authoring, reviewing, or debugging Collector YAML for a specific receiver, processor, exporter, connector, or extension — config keys, defaults, validation rules, signal support, stability levels, and component-level gotchas.
- Otel Collector BuilderOllyGardenBuild custom OpenTelemetry Collector distributions with OCB (OpenTelemetry Collector Builder). Use when authoring or debugging a builder manifest (builder.yaml), choosing component and provider versions, building a collector that bundles a custom or out-of-distribution component, setting up CI or Docker builds of a distribution, or troubleshooting OCB build failures.
- Otel Component TelemetryOllyGardenScan one OpenTelemetry component at pinned upstream versions and record the telemetry it emits (spans, metrics, logs) as change-point files under skills/otel-telemetry-emissions/. Invoked headless by scripts/scan.sh, one agent per component from config.json. Authoring-time only — not shipped.
- Otel Declarative ConfigOllyGardenOpenTelemetry declarative YAML configuration for SDK setup. Use when configuring OpenTelemetry SDK providers (tracer, meter, logger), setting up OTLP exporters, defining sampling strategies, or writing otel config files.
- Otel DotnetOllyGardenOpenTelemetry in .NET — DI/builder SDK setup (OpenTelemetry.Extensions.Hosting, AddOpenTelemetry, UseOtlpExporter, OpenTelemetrySdk.Create), native .NET instrumentation APIs (ActivitySource, System.Diagnostics.Metrics Meter) plus logging abstractions (ILogger), zero-code CLR-profiler agent, contrib instrumentation packages, performance tuning, and breaking-change audits.
- Otel GoOllyGardenOpenTelemetry in Go — SDK setup, API surface, breaking changes, contrib instrumentation libraries (otelhttp, otelgrpc, otelmongo), compile-time zero-code instrumentation (otelc), and performance tuning. Use when adding, reviewing, or configuring OpenTelemetry in a Go service.
- Otel JavaOllyGardenOpenTelemetry in Java — Javaagent zero-code instrumentation, Spring Boot Starter, manual autoconfigure SDK, declarative YAML configuration, BOM dependency management, sensitive-data capture and redaction (url.query, headers, request parameters, SQL sanitization). Use when adding, reviewing, or configuring OpenTelemetry in a Java service.
- Otel JsOllyGardenOpenTelemetry in Node.js / JavaScript / TypeScript — NodeSDK, declarative YAML configuration, auto-instrumentations, ESM vs CJS import patterns. Use when adding, reviewing, or configuring OpenTelemetry in a Node.js service. Triggers on "setup otel in node", "js telemetry", "node tracing setup", "NodeSDK", "auto instrumentation node", "TracerProvider node", or any Node.js-related OTel question.
- Otel OttlOllyGardenOpenTelemetry Transformation Language (OTTL) expert for writing and debugging telemetry transformations in the OpenTelemetry Collector. Use when authoring or reviewing `transform`, `filter`, `tail_sampling` processor configs or `routing` connector configs, debugging OTTL syntax or semantics, transforming traces, metrics, logs, or profiles, or converting data-processing requirements into OTTL…
- Otel ProfilesOllyGardenOpenTelemetry profiles signal and the eBPF profiler (otelcol-ebpf-profiler, `profiling` receiver). Use when setting up continuous profiling with OpenTelemetry, deploying the eBPF profiler on Linux hosts, Docker, or Kubernetes (DaemonSet, kind, k3d), building a profiles pipeline, sending OTLP profiles to Pyroscope, Grafana Cloud Profiles, or another backend, getting flame graphs from OTel…
- Otel PythonOllyGardenOpenTelemetry in Python — SDK setup, declarative config, zero-code instrumentation (opentelemetry-instrument, opentelemetry-distro), contrib auto-instrumentation, manual API, performance tuning, breaking changes. Use when configuring or troubleshooting OpenTelemetry in a Python service.
- Otel RubyOllyGardenOpenTelemetry in Ruby — SDK setup, manual tracing, experimental metrics and logs, Bundler integration, contrib instrumentation for Rails/Rack/Sinatra/Sidekiq and other gems, propagation, performance, and upgrades. Use when adding, reviewing, configuring, or troubleshooting OpenTelemetry in a Ruby or Rails service.
- Otel Sdk VersionsOllyGardenOpenTelemetry release version lookup for SDKs across languages and for the Collector (core, contrib, distributions, builder/OCB), the declarative configuration schema, semantic conventions, and Weaver. Use when choosing the latest compatible released OpenTelemetry SDK, package, or component version, when asked what the latest release of one of these is, and when locating setup docs or examples.
- Otel Semantic ConventionsOllyGardenOpenTelemetry semantic convention lookup and naming guidance. Use when selecting released semantic convention groups, attributes, or span naming rules, when checking semantic convention compliance, or checking which semantic-conventions version a language SDK's semconv package exposes.
- Otel Span Events To Logs MigrationOllyGardenMigrate OpenTelemetry Span Events (AddEvent, RecordException, and language equivalents) to the Logs API following the accepted OTEP 4430 migration plan. Use when migrating instrumentation from span events to log-based events, reviewing code that still uses AddEvent or RecordException, or planning a codebase migration while preserving trace correlation.
- Otel Telemetry EmissionsOllyGardenVersion-pinned inventory of the telemetry (spans, metrics, logs, attributes) emitted by OpenTelemetry collector components and SDK instrumentation packages. Use when working with a covered component — what it emits at a given version, or how emission changed across versions — and when upgrading a component or SDK version, to see the telemetry after the change.
- Otel TelemetrygenOllyGardenBuild safe, version-pinned telemetrygen commands for synthetic OTLP traces, metrics, and logs. Use for “send sample traces to this collector,” “load-test an OTLP endpoint,” “generate traffic to verify a processor, OTTL transform, or tail sampling,” and “produce test data for dashboards.” Also use when choosing telemetrygen transport, TLS, attributes, counts, duration, or rate.
- Otel UpgradeOllyGardenAssess OpenTelemetry package and Collector upgrades across ecosystems. Use when choosing or validating API, SDK, instrumentation, exporter, Collector distribution, component, image, chart, Operator, OCB build, or configuration versions, including compatibility, required changes, telemetry and runtime behavior, and rollout risk.
- Otel WeaverOllyGardenOpenTelemetry Weaver registry authoring, codegen, and CI enforcement. Use when adopting Weaver, authoring or reviewing a registry (manifest, attributes, metrics, spans, events), writing Jinja2 templates against the resolved schema, migrating hand-maintained telemetry constants, wiring `weaver registry check`/`generate`/`diff` into CI, or choosing a Weaver version for a semantic-conventions…
