Use this when working with OpenTelemetry, telemetry, observability, traces, spans, metrics, logs, OTLP, semantic conventions, or instrumentation. Triggers on questions like "what attributes should I use", "how do I configure the collector", "what's the semconv for X".

How to Answer OTel Questions

Check INDEX.md first - It maps topics to files
Check SYNC-REPORT.md - For any validation warnings
Search with Grep - Find specific attributes, config keys, or concepts
Read the relevant file - Get full context before answering
Cite the source - Reference which doc the answer came from

Priority Sources

Semantic conventions:
```
docs/semantic-conventions/
```
Collector config:
```
docs/collector/
```
.NET instrumentation:
```
docs/instrumentation/dotnet.md
```
Protocol/OTLP:
```
docs/protocol/
```

Search Strategy

# Find attribute definitions
Grep pattern="attribute_name" path="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/semantic-conventions/"

# Find collector config
Grep pattern="processor|exporter|receiver" path="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/collector/"

# Find .NET examples
Grep pattern="ActivitySource|Meter|Logger" path="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/instrumentation/"

Constraints

Latest stable semconv only (no deprecated attributes)
.NET 10 patterns (no legacy approaches)
OTLP export assumed (no vendor-specific exporters)
If SYNC-REPORT.md shows warnings, mention them to the user

Response Format

When answering OTel questions:

Direct answer - What the user asked
Attributes table - If applicable (name, type, description)
Code example - .NET 10 syntax preferred
Source reference - Which doc file the answer came from
