Use when adding, reviewing, or configuring OpenTelemetry in a Go service. Triggers on "setup otel in go", "go telemetry", "go tracing", "otelconf go", "otelhttp", "otelgrpc", "TracerProvider go", "MeterProvider go", "otelc", "compile-time instrumentation go", "zero-code go instrumentation", "go …
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'otel-go' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'otel-go' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named otel-go already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/ollygarden/opentelemetry-agent-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'eac2a29a7979f10eb429092b2655f28b85129e6c' -- 'skills/otel-go' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/otel-go' ~/.agents/skills/'otel-go' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'otel-go' ~/.claude/skills/'otel-go' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
