What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you correctly add or repair OpenTelemetry SDK setup and instrumentation in a confirmed PHP codebase so traces, metrics, and logs flow reliably and follow OTel best practices.
Core Features & Use Cases
- PHP OTel instrumentation guidance for real deployments: Covers SDK setup, traces, metrics, logs, and resource attributes for Laravel, Symfony, Slim, and plain PHP.
- Auto-instrumentation and dependency correctness: Ensures the required
ext-opentelemetry C extension and the right framework auto-packages are installed and enabled.
- Production-safe mutation workflow: Applies changes only after you review a proposed diff and explicitly confirm.
- Async messaging patterns: Uses span Links (not parent-child) for Kafka/SQS and Laravel queue job context carry patterns.
Quick Start
Use the otel-php skill to update OTel setup for your PHP service, then ask it to audit and propose the exact code changes needed.
