Research: otel-semantic-conventions
Cached research evidence for otel-semantic-conventions (not authority).
Purpose
Section titled “Purpose”otel-semantic-conventions is the authority for selecting and placing attributes according to the OTel semconv registry. Requires searching the registry first, preferring stable attributes, correct resource vs span placement, low-cardinality for metrics, and org.namespace.* for customs. Includes versioning/migration and Dash0-derived notes.
Harness Coverage
Section titled “Harness Coverage”Used alongside otel-instrumentation and collector skills for any attribute or metric naming decision.
Trust And Risks
Section titled “Trust And Risks”inspect-then-install. Misuse of custom or high-cardinality attributes can break downstream querying, increase cost, or leak data. The skill is a thin disciplined wrapper over the public registry.
Install Prerequisites
Section titled “Install Prerequisites”Same bundle as the other otel skills.
Upstream Maintainer
Section titled “Upstream Maintainer”dash0 (https://github.com/dash0hq/agent-skills) with direct links to https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/registry/attributes/.
Comparable Alternatives
Section titled “Comparable Alternatives”Direct use of the OTel semantic conventions specification and registry browser.
