Change NeMo Relay event fields, subscribers, ATIF output, or typed OpenTelemetry and OpenInference projections. Do not use for instrumentation examples that leave observability contracts unchanged.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 10
Use this skill when changing event fields, exporter behavior, subscriber config, or binding parity for ATIF or the full, gen_ai, and …
- Very specific: line 57
Run the affected Rust crate tests plus just test-rust if event fields changed.
- Distinctive: line 59
Run only the binding suites whose exposed configuration, lifecycle, event, or exporter contract changed.
- Distinctive: line 61
Update and validate docs or examples when the public workflow, documented observability contract, or emitted output changed.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Maintain Observability Surfaces
Use this skill when changing event fields, exporter behavior, subscriber config,
or binding parity for ATIF or the full, gen_ai, and openinference
OpenTelemetry projections.
Surfaces To Keep In Sync
- Core event model and emitted fields
crates/core/src/observability/atif.rscrates/core/src/observability/otel.rscrates/core/src/observability/openinference.rs- FFI and binding-native wrappers where the config or lifecycle is exposed
- Python, Go, and Node.js config objects and subscriber/exporter methods
- Observability config version 3, where one
opentelemetrysection contains typed endpoints and OpenInference has no standalone public surface - Docs under
docs/about-nemo-relay/concepts/subscribers.mdxanddocs/configure-plugins/observability/
Design Checklist
- Is this an event-model change, exporter-config change, or lifecycle change?
- Do all bindings expose the same logical knobs and semantics?
- Does every OpenTelemetry endpoint require a type and nonblank destination?
- Does each endpoint resolve
header_envvalues at activation and reject missing, blank, or duplicate headers? - Do layered ATOF sink, ATIF storage, and OpenTelemetry endpoint lists concatenate with higher-precedence entries first?
- Are OpenTelemetry and OpenInference dependencies unconditional rather than Cargo feature-gated?
- Does
gen_aiavoidnemo_relay.*, project sanitized LLM instructions and messages into the standard content attributes, and emit minimal spans for scopes without GenAI semantics so their parentage is preserved? - Does
enable_full_payloadspreserve complete sanitized LLM request input and annotations while leaving credential removal and sanitizers active? - Does Relay derive compliant trace and span IDs consistently across typed OpenTelemetry endpoints while preserving lifecycle parentage?
- Are mark events, start/end events, and orphan cases still handled correctly?
- Does a sanitized tool result annotation remain opaque under
category_profile.tool_result_annotation, ATIF observation-resultextra.tool_result_annotation, and the singlenemo_relay.tool.result.annotationattribute infullandopeninference, whilegen_aiomits it? - Do examples and docs use each exporter's documented flush/deregister order before shutdown?
- Are span or trajectory fields still derived from the intended event data?
Validation
- Run the affected Rust crate tests plus
just test-rustif event fields changed. - Run only the binding suites whose exposed configuration, lifecycle, event, or exporter contract changed.
- Update and validate docs or examples when the public workflow, documented observability contract, or emitted output changed.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
