Jaeger Distributed Tracing Specialist

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides Jaeger/OpenTelemetry tracing patterns tailored for HuleEdu, focusing on async context preservation, span lifecycle, and cross-service correlation with logs and metrics.

Core Capabilities

• Novel OpenTelemetry Patterns: Async context propagation edge cases, token management, and span lifecycles
• HuleEdu-specific patterns: service initialization, naming conventions, trace context propagation across Kafka/HTTP
• Correlation ID integration and Kafka/LLM provider instrumentation
• Link traces with logs and metrics for end-to-end observability

Quick Start

1. Initialize tracing in a service using HuleEdu conventions (init_tracing) and enable HTTP instrumentation.
2. Name spans using the standard: "api.submit_request", "llm_provider.openai.call".
3. Propagate correlation IDs in logs and dashboards, and consult Context7 for advanced OpenTelemetry docs.
