otel-go

OpenTelemetry in Go — SDK setup, API surface, breaking changes, contrib instrumentation libraries (otelhttp, otelgrpc, otelmongo), compile-time zero-code instrumentation (otelc), and performance tuning. Use when adding, reviewing, or configuring OpenTelemetry in a Go service. Triggers on "setup otel in go", "go telemetry", "go tracing", "otelconf go", "otelhttp", "otelgrpc", "TracerProvider go", "MeterProvider go", "otelc", "compile-time instrumentation go", "zero-code go instrumentation", "go build instrumentation", or any Go-related OTel question.

Quality

Content

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is an efficient overview that points to self-contained references, backed by concrete executable commands and a well-sequenced, verified dependency-addition workflow. It earns top marks across all four dimensions with no weak areas.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes competence — it never explains what OpenTelemetry is, and uses dense tables and short imperatives ('Load a reference below based on the task'). Not a level-2 because there is no unnecessary explanation to tighten.

3 / 3

Actionability

Gives copy-paste-ready, executable commands — 'go get go.opentelemetry.io/otel@latest ...' and 'gh api repos/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/releases/latest -q .tag_name' — with concrete module paths, matching the fully-executable anchor.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The module-versioning section sequences a clear path: states 'The trap', then 'Do this instead' with explicit commands, and ends with a build verification checkpoint ('go mod tidy && go build ./...'). It is not a level-2 because the validation step is explicit rather than implicit or missing.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

A concise overview with a References table linking six one-level-deep reference files, all of which exist in ./references/, each with a clear 'Use when' signal — matching the clear-overview, well-signaled one-level-deep anchor.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: third-person, concrete capabilities, explicit 'Use when' guidance, and a rich set of natural trigger terms scoped to a clear Go-OTel niche. No real weaknesses to address.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names multiple concrete actions — 'SDK setup, API surface, breaking changes, contrib instrumentation libraries (otelhttp, otelgrpc, otelmongo), compile-time zero-code instrumentation (otelc), and performance tuning' — matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (the listed capabilities) and when ('Use when adding, reviewing, or configuring OpenTelemetry in a Go service'), with explicit trigger guidance, matching the top anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Provides a broad set of natural trigger phrases users would actually say ('setup otel in go', 'go telemetry', 'go tracing', 'otelhttp', 'otelgrpc', 'otelc', 'go build instrumentation'), giving good coverage of common variations.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Scopes tightly to OpenTelemetry in Go with distinctive Go-specific triggers (otelc, otelconf go, TracerProvider go), giving it a clear niche unlikely to fire for non-Go or non-OTel skills.
