About agent-skills

OpenTelemetry Skills for AI Coding Agents Vendor-neutral skills that teach AI coding agents how to instrument applications with OpenTelemetry. Covers SDK setup across languages, semantic conventions, Collector pipelines, and OTTL transformations. Works with any OTLP-compatible backend. Skills are packaged instructions and scripts that extend agent capabilities, following the Agent Skills format. Maintained by Dash0. [!TIP] These skills have been improved using Tessl.

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
