opik

Use when a developer wants to add, write, or create an end-to-end test for an Opik feature, page, or branch — e.g. "add an e2e test for the experiments comparison page", "write a test for the feature I just built", "e2e test for this branch", "cover the dataset items flow with a test". Runs the full loop in tests_end_to_end/e2e/ — analyze the feature and frontend code, explore the live UI with the Playwright MCP, write the Page Object Model + spec, and run it locally until green.

Authoring Fern MDX documentation pages for the Opik docs site, plus release-note and changelog routing. Use when writing or updating pages under apps/opik-documentation/documentation/fern/, drafting PR descriptions, or picking the right changelog surface.

TypeScript SDK patterns for Opik. Use when working in sdks/typescript.

Python SDK patterns for Opik. Use when working in sdks/python, on SDK APIs, integrations, or message processing.

Use when building or extending a Page Object Model (POM) for the Opik E2E suite (under `tests_end_to_end/e2e/pom/`) and you need to choose stable selectors against the live UI. Walks through seeding required state, exploring the running page with the Playwright MCP (accessibility snapshot + data-testid enumeration), picking the most stable locator for each element, and verifying it before committing. Used as the discovery sub-step by the `writing-e2e-tests` skill.

Build, update, test, and document Opik SDK integrations (Python & TypeScript). Use when adding a new framework/provider integration under sdks/python/src/opik/integrations or sdks/typescript/src/opik/integrations, updating an existing one, or verifying that an integration logs traces correctly.

React frontend patterns for Opik. Use when working in apps/opik-frontend, on components, state, or data fetching.

Build or update an Opik integration that lives OUTSIDE this repo — a standalone opik-* package (e.g. opik-openclaw, opik-claude-code-plugin) or Opik support contributed into a third-party project (e.g. LiteLLM, Dify). Use ONLY when the user names an external repository or external package as the target; for integrations under sdks/ use the opik-integrations skill instead.

Java backend patterns for Opik. Use when working in apps/opik-backend, designing APIs, database operations, or services.

Specification for instrumenting an opik-backend workflow with operational OpenTelemetry metrics — per-stage throughput/latency/error counters and native histograms, dimensioned per-customer (workspace). Use when a pipeline (scoring, ingestion, experiments, jobs) needs per-stage visibility. Covers metric emission only; building the Grafana dashboard from these metrics is a separate skill. Distinct from analytics-instrumentation (PostHog product events).

Local development environment setup and commands. Use when helping with dev server, Docker, or local testing.

Use when a developer wants a release-gate test for a change before merge — e.g. "explore this feature", "add a release-gate test for my PR", "gate this branch", "cover the feature in PR

Feature documentation and release notes patterns. Use when documenting changes, writing PR descriptions, or preparing releases.

Generate self-contained HTML architecture diagrams. Use when creating visual diagrams for PRs, task plans, or architectural explanations.

Use when an Opik E2E test has failed and a developer wants it investigated — e.g. "why did this e2e test fail?", "investigate the failing run on my PR", "is dataset-crud-smoke flaky?", "the nightly e2e suite went red". Takes a failure from a CI check, a TestOps launch, a test name, or a local run; gathers the trace and history, classifies regression vs. flake, and proposes a fix. Read-only — it diagnoses and proposes, it does not edit tests.

Add analytics events to Opik features. Use when wiring PostHog events on the frontend or backend for product analytics tracking.
