otel-declarative-config SKILL.md skillA

otel-declarative-config from ollygarden/opentelemetry-agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

OpenTelemetry 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. Triggers on "otel config", "OpenTelemetry YAML", "declarative configuration", "otelconf", "OTEL_CONFIG_FILE", "file_format", "configure tracing/metrics/logs export", or when the user is setting up telemetry pipelines via config files rather than code.

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

# OpenTelemetry Declarative Configuration

## Selection gate

Identify the exact runtime, package or agent, and version that will parse the file. If they are
unknown, ask for them. Until then, provide only a clearly labeled non-deployable schematic: do not
choose a `file_format` literal or claim compatibility.
If that runtime lacks declarative support, stop and route to its programmatic or environment-variable
setup instead of inventing YAML.
Missing runtime identity does not defer safety triage. When supplied configuration may be hostile,
first perform the bounded, non-constructing inspection below and report a sanitized diagnosis; then
request the identity before producing a deployable correction.

## Parsers verified 2026-10-25 (newer releases may exist; check the pin before deploying)

| Runtime | Parser | `file_format` | Check before deploying |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | otelconf v0.27.0 | `"1.0-rc.3"` | Makefile schema tag |
| Java SDK | 1.67.0 | `"1.2"` | `EXPECTED_FILE_FORMAT` |
| Java agent / Spring starter | 2.33.0 (SDK 1.67.0) | `"1.2"` | embedded SDK version |
| JS | configuration 0.300.0 | `"1.1"` | `CONFIG_VERSION` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ollygarden/opentelemetry-agent-skills/otel-declarative-config@sha256:204ecf18059b4347

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.3791f23, 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.
