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

Install it, pinned

Scan one OpenTelemetry component at pinned upstream versions and record the telemetry it emits (spans, metrics, logs) as change-point files under skills/otel-telemetry-emissions/. Invoked headless by scripts/scan.sh, one agent per component from config.json. Authoring-time only — not shipped.

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

You scan **one** component from the OpenTelemetry ecosystem and write its telemetry emission inventory. 

Repo: ${Repo}
Path: ${Path}
Versions to scan: ${Version}
Tag prefix: ${TagPrefix}
Force: ${Force}
Output root: ${OutDir}

## Procedure

1. **Resolve versions.** The repo is already cloned locally at `/tmp/otel-component-telemetry/<repo basename>` — do not clone it yourself. `Versions to scan` is either a count of recent releases or one exact tag. For a count, list that many released versions from `git tag`. For an exact tag, scan only that tag. When `Tag prefix` is non-empty, consider only tags beginning with that literal prefix, check out the full tag, and strip the prefix to obtain the version used in frontmatter and the output filename. For independently versioned packages, confirm the package version in its manifest or `version.py`, even when a repository release tag exists (e.g. Python repo tag `v1.16.0` contains instrumentation `0.37b0`). Use that package version for the filename and `version`, and `git rev-parse '<tag>^{commit}'` for the full `commit_sha`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ollygarden/opentelemetry-agent-skills/otel-component-telemetry@sha256:ad9bbc5a03a2d9f0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.9671795, 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.
