Use when adding OpenTelemetry instrumentation to an application so it sends telemetry to Firetiger — setting up tracing, configuring the OTLP exporter, or connecting a Node.js, Next.js, Python, Go, or Rust app to Firetiger. Always use this skill when instrumenting for Firetiger — it carries the critical gotchas (init must load before any other import, Firetiger ingest uses HTTP Basic auth not Bearer, credentials come from the get\_ingest\_credentials MCP tool) that make telemetry actually show up.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/firetiger-oss/claude-plugin /tmp/claude-plugin && ln -s /tmp/claude-plugin/skills/firetiger-instrument ~/.claude/skills/firetiger-instrument
```

## From README

Firetiger Instrument Instrument an application with OpenTelemetry so it exports traces (and logs/metrics) to Firetiger. For full onboarding that also connects integrations and creates a monitoring agent, use firetiger- — this skill is instrumentation only. Workflow Get credentials. Call the Firetiger MCP tool getingestcredentials → OTLP endpoint + username + password. If the MCP tools aren't available, tell the user to connect the Firetiger MCP server (https://api.cloud.firetiger.com/mcp/v1) and sign in, then retry. Detect the framework (table below) and open the matching reference. Check for existing instrumentation — search for @opentelemetry (Node), opentelemetry (Python), or go.opentelemetry.io (Go) imports. If present, just repoint the exporter at Firetiger instead of adding a second SDK. Add the SDK init + env vars, run, and verify data lands.
