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.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arthur-ai/arthur-engine/arthur-onboard-instrument@sha256:8a91118aa416d693

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
