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 in Python Entry point for OpenTelemetry mechanics in Python services. Load a reference below based on the task; each reference is self-contained. ## References | File | Use when | |---|---| | [`references/declarative-setup.md`](references/declarative-setup.md) | Configuring the SDK via declarative YAML (`opentelemetry-configuration` / `opentelemetry.configuration`): `load_config_file`, `configure_sdk`, `file_format`, env substitution, `OTEL_CONFIG_FILE` and programmatic activation. | | [`references/api.md`](references/api.md) | Import paths, global API access, tracer/meter/logger usage, attributes, propagation, the Python logging bridge (`LoggingHandler`). | | [`references/instrumentation-libraries.md`](references/instrumentation-libraries.md) | Zero-code (`opentelemetry-distro`, `opentelemetry-bootstrap`, `opentelemetry-instrument`), the contrib catalog, and manual instrumentation following semconv. | | [`references/performance.md`](references/performance.md) | Tuning sampling, batch span processor, periodic metric reader, views, asyncio context, exporters, graceful shutdown. | …

How to install
mdr add ollygarden/opentelemetry-agent-skills/otel-python@sha256:c667f1dfc8243627The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.be344f2, 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.
