Build Kopai observability dashboards from OpenTelemetry metrics, logs, and traces by composing tiles — time-series charts, stat/KPI numbers, histograms, log timelines, and trace-detail views — into a dashboard via the Kopai SDK. Use this skill whenever the user wants to visualize, chart, monitor, or 'keep an eye on' telemetry — e.g. 'make a dashboard', 'monitoring view', 'KPI panel', 'chart request latency and throughput', 'an incident board with error logs and a trace viewer' — even if they don't say the word 'dashboard' — and when another workflow needs to present telemetry visually (e.g. after a root-cause analysis). This creates Kopai dashboards specifically. Do NOT use it to investigate or root-cause an issue (use root-cause-analysis), to add instrumentation (use otel-instrumentation), to build Grafana/Prometheus dashboards, or to code React/UI chart components.
Investigate and root-cause production issues from live OpenTelemetry telemetry (traces, logs, metrics) with the Kopai SDK in TypeScript code mode. Use this skill to debug errors and error-rate spikes, investigate latency/slowness and timeouts, trace requests across services, find failing or cascading services, and correlate logs to a trace — including vague symptom reports like 'why is my API slow', 'getting 500 errors', 'service is down', 'requests are timing out', or 'something is failing in prod', even when the user never says 'traces' or 'observability'. This analyzes existing telemetry to find a cause. Do NOT use it to add instrumentation (use otel-instrumentation), to build dashboards or visualizations (use create-dashboard), or to fix non-telemetry problems like failing CI, lint errors, unit tests, or SQL query tuning.
Instrument applications with OpenTelemetry SDK and validate telemetry using Kopai. Use when setting up observability, adding tracing/logging/metrics, testing instrumentation, debugging missing telemetry data, or when traces/logs/metrics aren't appearing after setup. Also use when users say things like "my traces aren't showing up", "I don't see any data", or "how do I add observability to my app".
