opentelemetry
OpenTelemetry observability - use for distributed tracing, metrics, instrumentation, Sentry integration, and monitoring
What this skill does
# OpenTelemetry Patterns
## Spring Boot Configuration
```kotlin
// build.gradle.kts
dependencies {
implementation(platform("io.opentelemetry.instrumentation:opentelemetry-instrumentation-bom:2.15.0"))
implementation("io.opentelemetry.instrumentation:opentelemetry-spring-boot-starter")
implementation("io.micrometer:micrometer-tracing-bridge-otel")
implementation("io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-exporter-zipkin")
// Sentry integration
implementation("io.sentry:sentry-spring-boot-starter-jakarta:8.26.0")
implementation("io.sentry:sentry-logback:8.26.0")
}
```
```yaml
# application.yaml
spring:
application:
name: orca-facade
management:
tracing:
sampling:
probability: 1.0 # 100% in dev, lower in prod
otlp:
tracing:
endpoint: http://localhost:4318/v1/traces
otel:
exporter:
otlp:
endpoint: http://otel-collector:4317
service:
name: orca-facade
resource:
attributes:
deployment.environment: ${ENVIRONMENT:dev}
service.version: ${APP_VERSION:unknown}
sentry:
dsn: ${SENTRY_DSN:}
environment: ${ENVIRONMENT:dev}
traces-sample-rate: 1.0
```
## Custom Span Creation
```kotlin
import io.opentelemetry.api.trace.Span
import io.opentelemetry.api.trace.Tracer
import io.opentelemetry.context.Context
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component
@Component
class TracingService(
private val tracer: Tracer
) {
fun <T> withSpan(
spanName: String,
attributes: Map<String, String> = emptyMap(),
block: () -> T
): T {
val span = tracer.spanBuilder(spanName)
.setParent(Context.current())
.startSpan()
attributes.forEach { (key, value) ->
span.setAttribute(key, value)
}
return try {
span.makeCurrent().use {
block()
}
} catch (e: Exception) {
span.recordException(e)
span.setStatus(io.opentelemetry.api.trace.StatusCode.ERROR, e.message ?: "Error")
throw e
} finally {
span.end()
}
}
}
// Usage
@Service
class EnvironmentService(
private val tracingService: TracingService,
private val repository: EnvironmentRepository
) {
fun createEnvironment(request: CreateRequest): Environment {
return tracingService.withSpan(
"EnvironmentService.createEnvironment",
mapOf(
"environment.name" to request.name,
"user.id" to request.userId
)
) {
// Add events
Span.current().addEvent("Validating request")
validateRequest(request)
Span.current().addEvent("Saving to database")
repository.save(request.toEntity())
}
}
}
```
## Annotation-Based Tracing
```kotlin
import io.micrometer.tracing.annotation.NewSpan
import io.micrometer.tracing.annotation.SpanTag
@Service
class ComputeService {
@NewSpan("compute.createInstance")
fun createInstance(
@SpanTag("instance.type") type: String,
@SpanTag("instance.region") region: String
): Instance {
// Automatically traced
return computeClient.create(type, region)
}
}
```
## Baggage Propagation
```kotlin
import io.opentelemetry.api.baggage.Baggage
// Set baggage (propagates across services)
fun setUserContext(userId: String, tenantId: String) {
Baggage.current()
.toBuilder()
.put("user.id", userId)
.put("tenant.id", tenantId)
.build()
.makeCurrent()
}
// Read baggage
fun getCurrentUserId(): String? {
return Baggage.current().getEntryValue("user.id")
}
```
## Next.js / Node.js Setup
```typescript
// instrumentation.ts (Next.js)
import { NodeSDK } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-node'
import { getNodeAutoInstrumentations } from '@opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node'
import { OTLPTraceExporter } from '@opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-http'
import { Resource } from '@opentelemetry/resources'
import { SEMRESATTRS_SERVICE_NAME, SEMRESATTRS_SERVICE_VERSION } from '@opentelemetry/semantic-conventions'
export async function register() {
if (process.env.NEXT_RUNTIME === 'nodejs') {
const sdk = new NodeSDK({
resource: new Resource({
[SEMRESATTRS_SERVICE_NAME]: 'orca-lab',
[SEMRESATTRS_SERVICE_VERSION]: process.env.npm_package_version || 'unknown',
}),
traceExporter: new OTLPTraceExporter({
url: process.env.OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT || 'http://localhost:4318/v1/traces',
}),
instrumentations: [
getNodeAutoInstrumentations({
'@opentelemetry/instrumentation-fs': { enabled: false },
}),
],
})
sdk.start()
}
}
```
```typescript
// lib/tracing.ts
import { trace, SpanStatusCode, context } from '@opentelemetry/api'
const tracer = trace.getTracer('orca-lab')
export async function withSpan<T>(
name: string,
attributes: Record<string, string>,
fn: () => Promise<T>
): Promise<T> {
return tracer.startActiveSpan(name, async (span) => {
try {
Object.entries(attributes).forEach(([key, value]) => {
span.setAttribute(key, value)
})
const result = await fn()
span.setStatus({ code: SpanStatusCode.OK })
return result
} catch (error) {
span.setStatus({
code: SpanStatusCode.ERROR,
message: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error',
})
span.recordException(error as Error)
throw error
} finally {
span.end()
}
})
}
// Usage
export async function createEnvironment(data: CreateEnvInput) {
return withSpan(
'createEnvironment',
{ 'environment.name': data.name },
async () => {
const response = await fetch('/api/environments', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(data),
})
return response.json()
}
)
}
```
## Metrics
```kotlin
// Kotlin/Spring Boot
import io.micrometer.core.instrument.MeterRegistry
import io.micrometer.core.instrument.Timer
@Component
class MetricsService(
private val registry: MeterRegistry
) {
private val environmentCreatedCounter = registry.counter(
"orca.environment.created",
"type", "standard"
)
private val environmentCreationTimer = Timer.builder("orca.environment.creation.duration")
.description("Time to create an environment")
.register(registry)
fun recordEnvironmentCreated(type: String) {
registry.counter("orca.environment.created", "type", type).increment()
}
fun <T> timeEnvironmentCreation(block: () -> T): T {
return environmentCreationTimer.recordCallable(block)!!
}
}
```
## Sentry Integration
```kotlin
// Error reporting with Sentry
import io.sentry.Sentry
import io.sentry.SentryLevel
@ControllerAdvice
class GlobalExceptionHandler {
@ExceptionHandler(Exception::class)
fun handleException(e: Exception): ResponseEntity<ErrorResponse> {
// Report to Sentry with context
Sentry.withScope { scope ->
scope.setTag("error.type", e.javaClass.simpleName)
scope.setLevel(SentryLevel.ERROR)
scope.setContexts("request", mapOf(
"path" to getCurrentRequestPath(),
"method" to getCurrentRequestMethod()
))
Sentry.captureException(e)
}
return ResponseEntity.status(500)
.body(ErrorResponse("Internal server error"))
}
}
```

modeling-omnistudio-epc-catalog
IncludedSalesforce Industries CME EPC product-modeling skill for Product2-based catalog creation. Use when creating EPC products, configuring product attributes, building offer bundles with Product Child Items, or reviewing EPC DataPack JSON metadata for product catalog changes. TRIGGER when: user creates or updates Product2 EPC records, AttributeAssignment payloads, AttributeMetadata/AttributeDefaultValues, Offer bundles, or ProductChildItem relationships. DO NOT TRIGGER when: designing OmniScripts/FlexCards/Integration Procedures (use building-omnistudio-omniscript, building-omnistudio-flexcard, or building-omnistudio-integration-procedure), implementing Apex business logic (use generating-apex), or troubleshooting deployment pipelines (use deploying-metadata).
relationship-science-coach
IncludedUse this skill for direct, practical adult relationship coaching: couples conflict, repair, trust, marriage, dating, flirting, attachment patterns, emotional connection, sex, desire differences, eroticism, kink negotiation, affection, love languages, breakups, and long-term passion. Draw on Gottman, EFT and Hold Me Tight, attachment science, modern sex research, Perel, Nagoski, Kerner, Schnarch, Love and Stosny, and flexible love-language tools. Be concrete and low-hedge. Redirect only for imminent danger, abuse, coercive control, minors, non-consent, self-harm, stalking, or medical/legal/psychiatric decisions.
building-sf-integrations
IncludedSalesforce integration architecture and runtime plumbing with 120-point scoring. Use this skill to set up Named Credentials, External Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callout patterns, Platform Events, and Change Data Capture. TRIGGER when: user sets up Named Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callouts, Platform Events, CDC, or touches .namedCredential-meta.xml files. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Connected App/OAuth config (use configuring-connected-apps), Apex-only logic (use generating-apex), or data import/export (use handling-sf-data).
venue-templates
IncludedAccess comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
let-fate-decide
IncludedDraws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
net-ops
IncludedCross-platform network troubleshooting (Windows, macOS, Linux) via local or remote shell. Use for: DNS broken, can't resolve hostnames, nslookup/dig works but apps fail, NRPT, WFP, scutil, /etc/resolver, systemd-resolved, /etc/resolv.conf, NetworkManager, VPN DNS leak residue (ProtonVPN/Mullvad/WireGuard/AnyConnect), AV/firewall blocking DNS or DoH, Tailscale DNS interaction, intermittent connectivity, remote diagnostics over SSH.
