otel-queries
A gh-aw skill for answering questions about OpenTelemetry traces from GitHub Agentic Workflow runs.
What the skill teaches
A gh-aw skill for answering questions about OpenTelemetry traces from GitHub Agentic Workflow runs. The agent picks the cheapest trustworthy source, from local files or the gh-aw span mirror to a live backend such as Grafana Tempo, Sentry, Honeycomb or Datadog reached through an MCP server, then runs a fixed loop: confirm spans exist, check trace continuity, find the slow or failing phase, check attributes, and decide whether the problem is systemic. It provides ready queries, local JSONL recipes, notes per backend and the gh-aw source files that emit spans.
Capabilities
- Find slow or failing phases in agentic workflow traces
- Check trace continuity and missing span attributes
- Run common span queries against an OTLP backend
- Query local JSONL span mirrors
