# Standardize agent observability with tracing spans

## When to Use This Skill
OpenTelemetry-aligned span taxonomies for LLM calls, tool executions, and handoffs enabling real debugging.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.
## Steps
1. Define span hierarchy: session → plan → step → tool-call → sub-calls
2. Attach token counts, costs, model versions, and prompt hashes to every span
3. Propagate trace context across queues/services so retries stay linked
4. Sample intelligently: 100% of errors/tool-failures, fraction of successes
5. Build the 'why did it do that' query: input hash → exact prompts retrieved
6. Version span schema; dashboards break silently otherwise
## Common Pitfalls
- Each framework's proprietary format trapping traces in silos
- PII flowing into trace storage without scrubbing
