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

# AGENTS.md

This file provides guidance to AI coding agents when working with code in this repository.

## What this repository is

A catalog of **Agent Skills** (per the [agentskills.io](https://agentskills.io/specification) spec) for OpenTelemetry, published by OllyGarden. The skills are **non-opinionated and vendor-neutral by design** — there are many valid ways to use OpenTelemetry, so prescribing conventions is out of scope. They exist to give an agent **token-efficient, agent-friendly retrieval**: small fetch tables, lookup indexes, and scripts that point at upstream sources of truth instead of copying docs into context, so answers stay current as OpenTelemetry evolves.

Most changes are to Markdown and YAML files that AI agents consume. The exception is `tools/otel-agent-tools/`, a Go module that generates and validates some of the bundled reference data (see below). "Correctness" means a skill is well-scoped, accurate, points at the maintained source of truth, and is registered in all the right places.

## Preferred workflow

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ollygarden/opentelemetry-agent-skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:d23f0264d2dd09bd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.ab1d155, 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.
