otel-telemetrygen

79 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

By ollygarden/opentelemetry-agent-skills (GitHub) · coding · 126 stars · scanned at commit eac2a29

Build 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. Not for application SDK instrumentation or production collection that does not use telemetrygen.

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-telemetrygen' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'otel-telemetrygen' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named otel-telemetrygen 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 "$d" checkout --quiet 'eac2a29a7979f10eb429092b2655f28b85129e6c' -- 'skills/otel-telemetrygen' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/otel-telemetrygen' ~/.agents/skills/'otel-telemetrygen' && 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-telemetrygen' ~/.claude/skills/'otel-telemetrygen' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
