System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Go developers often struggle to observe production behavior. This Skill provides structured guidance to instrument Go applications with OpenTelemetry, enabling traces, metrics, and context propagation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Manual instrumentation patterns with the OpenTelemetry Go API and Contrib libraries
  • SDK configuration and resource setup (service.name, version, etc.)
  • HTTP server and gRPC instrumentation (automatic and manual)
  • Context propagation across goroutines and asynchronous work
  • Exporting traces and metrics to OTLP endpoints for centralized observability

Quick Start

Set up a Go module, install OpenTelemetry libraries, initialize a TracerProvider, configure an OTLP exporter, and generate a sample span.
