What it does

Phoenix Otel Development is an agent skill from Arize-ai/phoenix. Guide for the phoenix-otel TypeScript package — OTel registration, stack-based global provider management, and provider lifecycle.

Its SKILL.md is about 330 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `rules/global-provider-lifecycle.md`, `rules/register-api.md` and `rules/testing.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM observability. It works with OpenTelemetry and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: AI Observability & Evaluation. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve LLM observability

Example prompts

  • “/phoenix-otel-development”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 856100b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Phoenix Otel Development loads about 330 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 83 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~330

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Phoenix OTel Development

OpenTelemetry registration and provider lifecycle layer for Phoenix. Single source of truth for OTel configuration — other Phoenix packages delegate here rather than importing OTel packages directly.

Read existing code in the directory you're working in before writing new code.

Rule Files

Rule fileWhen to read
rules/global-provider-lifecycle.mdGlobal provider attachment, detachment, snapshot/restore, mount stack
rules/register-api.mdregister(), span processor setup, public API surface
rules/testing.mdTests for provider lifecycle, registration, span export

Build and Test

bash
cd js/
pnpm --filter phoenix-otel test

Dual-module output (CJS + ESM). Tests use vitest.
