otel-guides 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.

otel-guides from using-system/oddyssey is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Curated map of the official OpenTelemetry documentation by language. Use when planning or implementing OpenTelemetry instrumentation for a codebase - pick the language, open its reference file, and follow the linked official docs for traces, metrics, logs, instrumentation libraries, exporters, and SDK configuration. Covers C++, .NET, Erlang/Elixir, Go, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, Swift, and other community SDKs, plus the cross-language references for SDK configuration…

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 Language Guides

A selection map over the official OpenTelemetry docs
(https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/). Pick the language of the code
you are instrumenting, read its reference file, then fetch the linked
official pages you need — links ending in `index.md` return the page as raw
markdown (the rest are external redirects), so read them directly instead of
paraphrasing from memory.

## Pick the language

| Language | Reference |
| --- | --- |
| C++ | [references/cpp.md](references/cpp.md) |
| .NET | [references/dotnet.md](references/dotnet.md) |
| Erlang/Elixir | [references/erlang.md](references/erlang.md) |
| Go | [references/go.md](references/go.md) |
| Java | [references/java.md](references/java.md) |
| JavaScript / Node.js | [references/js.md](references/js.md) |
| Kotlin | [references/kotlin.md](references/kotlin.md) |
| PHP | [references/php.md](references/php.md) |
| Python | [references/python.md](references/python.md) |
| Ruby | [references/ruby.md](references/ruby.md) |
| Rust | [references/rust.md](references/rust.md) |
| Swift | [references/swift.md](references/swift.md) |
| Anything else | [references/other.md](references/other.md) |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add using-system/oddyssey/otel-guides@sha256:884d297d6053fbcb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.83c6ee4, 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.
