arthur-onboard-instrument skillB

arthur-onboard-instrument is agent-read markdown (skill) from arthur-ai/arthur-engine: Arthur onboarding sub-skill — Step 5: Instrument the target repository with Arthur tracing (Python SDK, Mastra TS, or OpenInference). Reads detection results from .arthur-engine.env..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Arthur Onboard — Step 5: Instrument Code

## Read State

```bash
cat .arthur-engine.env 2>/dev/null || echo "(no state file)"
```

Parse `ARTHUR_ENGINE_URL`, `ARTHUR_API_KEY`, `ARTHUR_TASK_ID`, `ARTHUR_DETECTED_LANGUAGE`, `ARTHUR_DETECTED_FRAMEWORK`, `ARTHUR_IS_INSTRUMENTED`.

---

## If Already Instrumented

If `ARTHUR_IS_INSTRUMENTED=true`: tell the user, exit this skill.

---

## Choose Instrumentation Approach

Based on detection results:
- Python app → `arthur-sdk` (preferred)
- Mastra TypeScript → `mastra-arthur`
- Other TypeScript/JavaScript or Python without arthur-sdk → `openinference`

Show the planned changes and ask user to confirm before proceeding.

> For copy-paste code examples by framework (LangChain, OpenAI, Anthropic, AutoGen, CrewAI, LiteLLM, Mastra, MCP, etc.) and by span pattern (Retrieval/RAG, Agent, Tool, Guardrail, Embedding, Streaming), see [`EXAMPLES.md`](./EXAMPLES.md) in this skill's directory.

**Delegate to a Task sub-agent.** Replace `<PLACEHOLDERS>` with actual values from state.
