OpenTelemetry semantic convention lookup and naming guidance. Use when selecting released semantic convention groups, attributes, or span naming rules, when checking semantic convention compliance, or checking which semantic-conventions version a language SDK's semconv package exposes.
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 Semantic Conventions Use this skill when you need released semantic convention guidance for naming, attributes, or compliance checks. ## Workflow 1. Start with released semantic conventions, not model memory. - do not load the full semantic convention spec into context - use the bundled lookup script to query only the needed released group or attribute - for local verification against a checked-out upstream repo, set `OTEL_SEMCONV_REPO=/path/to/semantic-conventions` 2. Choose the closest released group before inventing custom keys. - identify the boundary type such as `http`, `db`, `messaging`, `rpc`, or `network` - pick one primary group first, then add related groups only when they add needed context - for `gen_ai.*`, OpenAI, or MCP conventions, use [`open-telemetry/semantic-conventions-genai`](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions-genai); it has no tagged release as of 2026-10-25, so cite the commit and label the guidance unreleased (the lookup script does not cover it); the core repository keeps only deprecated GenAI-era stubs after v1.42.0 - see `references/semconv-selection.md` …

How to install
mdr add ollygarden/opentelemetry-agent-skills/otel-semantic-conventions@sha256:b5b60134a7cf54e9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.86eb932, 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.
