System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you correctly instrument your distributed systems using OpenTelemetry, ensuring that traces accurately capture the flow of requests and identify performance bottlenecks or errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Correct Span Creation: Guides on naming spans, setting SpanKind, and ensuring spans are always ended.
  • Context Propagation: Ensures trace context is correctly propagated across service boundaries using W3C Trace Context.
  • Error Handling: Details on recording exceptions and setting span status to Error.
  • Use Case: When developing a new microservice, use this Skill to ensure all outgoing HTTP requests and incoming API calls are correctly traced, allowing you to see the full request lifecycle in your observability backend.

Quick Start

Apply OpenTelemetry tracing conventions to the provided code snippet for instrumenting an HTTP client.
