What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the manual, error-prone setup required to turn on OpenTelemetry observability for Claude Code, making it easy to get traces, costs, and tokens flowing correctly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive OTEL Configuration: Guides users through cloud, local Docker, or custom OTLP endpoints.
  • Safe Project-Local or Global Writes: Updates either .claude/settings.local.json or a shell profile without clobbering unrelated settings.
  • Validation and Repair: Detects missing OTEL keys, repairs partial setups, and smoke-tests the endpoint to catch protocol or connectivity issues.
  • Use Case: A developer wants dashboard-ready tracing for one repo only, so the Skill configures the project, verifies the collector accepts spans, and leaves the rest of the machine untouched.

Quick Start

Use the otel-setup skill to configure OTEL observability for this project with a local Docker collector and verify that traces are being accepted.
