Set Up Logfire

Logfire is an observability platform built on OpenTelemetry, with several distinct product surfaces. This skill authenticates, orients, and routes you to the specific skill for the surface you actually need — don't try to cover install/instrument/verify detail from within this file.

Keep the user informed with short updates, but proceed through ordinary, reversible setup without asking approval — no clean tree, branch, commits, or plan needed, and no commands the user could run only because you chose not to. Pause only for: browser auth, a genuinely ambiguous app/project after inspection, materially increasing production telemetry or cost, deploy/infra changes, or destructive/unrelated work — then ask one concrete question. Never report a check, a score, or a run as verified without having actually confirmed it in this session.

Step 1: Authenticate and Select the Exact Project

Auth comes first because everything after it depends on having a valid, confirmed connection to the exact right Logfire project: instrumenting or inspecting the repo before that is either wasted if the connection turns out wrong, or worse, ends up silently wired to the wrong project. Do not open, read, or run any project file until whoami confirms you're authenticated to the right project — nothing about this step requires knowing what's in the repo yet.

Use Authenticate and Select the Exact Project to derive the CLI target from the supplied Logfire URL and run its target-aware whoami check with a verified CLI path — for JS/TS projects without uv, use the external-prefix npm fallback instead of plain npx, which can execute a repository-local binary. Skip to Step 2 if that already reports the right project and resolved --region or --base-url target; otherwise, continue through the full authentication and project-selection sequence there.

Step 2: Understand the Repo

Read AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/README.md and skim the language, runtime, and package manager. Then match what you find against the table below to decide what to fetch next:
