OpenTelemetry Weaver

Use this skill when an organization wants to define its own semantic conventions on top of upstream OTel and generate language bindings from them.

Usage:

• pair with otel-semantic-conventions to decide which attributes already exist upstream and should not be redeclared in the local registry
• use otel-sdk-versions only for SDK package selection; Weaver versions are tracked separately at https://github.com/open-telemetry/weaver/releases

If a companion skill is unavailable:

• do not stop
• do not rely on memory alone when the guidance can be checked from official sources
• consult the Weaver repo, schemas/semconv-syntax.v2.md, and docs/usage.md / docs/validate.md
• state which fallback you used and leave any unverified item unresolved
