distributed-tracing SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
distributed-tracing from rudycity/superagent is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add rudycity/superagent/distributed-tracing@git:20260626.019dba9Pins git:20260626.019dba9 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Implement distributed tracing with Jaeger and Tempo to track requests across microservices and identify performance bottlenecks. Use when debugging microservices, analyzing request flows, or implementing observability for distributed systems.
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
# Distributed Tracing Implement distributed tracing with Jaeger and Tempo for request flow visibility across microservices. ## Purpose Track requests across distributed systems to understand latency, dependencies, and failure points. ## When to Use - Debug latency issues - Understand service dependencies - Identify bottlenecks - Trace error propagation - Analyze request paths ## Detailed patterns and worked examples Detailed pattern documentation lives in `references/details.md`. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient. ## Best Practices 1. **Sample appropriately** (1-10% in production) 2. **Add meaningful tags** (user_id, request_id) 3. **Propagate context** across all service boundaries 4. **Log exceptions** in spans 5. **Use consistent naming** for operations 6. **Monitor tracing overhead** (<1% CPU impact) 7. **Set up alerts** for trace errors 8. **Implement distributed context** (baggage) 9. **Use span events** for important milestones 10. **Document instrumentation** standards ## Integration with Logging ### Correlated Logs ```python import logging from opentelemetry import trace logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) def process_request(): …

How to install
mdr add rudycity/superagent/distributed-tracing@sha256:0d1126fba0efea8dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260626.019dba9, 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.
