## What opentelemetry-agent-skills does, in the publisher's words

OllyGarden Agent Skills for OpenTelemetry are open source skills that give coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot accurate, current OpenTelemetry knowledge: SDK setup for Go, Java, JavaScript, Python,.NET, Ruby, and the browser; Collector configuration and OTTL; semantic conventions; and upgrades. They follow the Agent Skills specification, so they work with any agent that supports it. The full catalog, and how they relate to OllyGarden's opinionated skills package, is at ollygarden.com/resources/agent-skills.

The skills are non-opinionated by design: there are many valid ways to use OpenTelemetry, and prescribing conventions is out of scope.

They are designed for token-efficient, agent-friendly retrieval: small fetch tables, lookup indexes, and scripts that point at upstream sources of truth instead of copying docs into context. The agent finds what it missed during training; answers stay current as the project evolves.
