opik-instrument

opik-instrument is a skill for Claude Code from comet-ml/opik-skills. It costs 101 tokens per session (2,677 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of opik-instrument, Apache-2.0.

A setup for adding Opik tracing to an existing application and checking that a real run appears in Opik. Tracing records what an AI application does so its execution can be inspected afterward.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add observability to an application, run a safe representative path, confirm the trace in Opik, and obtain a direct link to it.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually choose the language, AI framework, package setup, and minimum code changes. It also checks that the instrumentation produced a usable trace instead of stopping after editing files.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

opik-instrument scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Instrument — Add Opik Tracing and Verify a Real Trace

Definition of done: a representative, safely-executed path produces a trace that is confirmed in Opik and a direct trace link is returned. If verification can't be completed safely or autonomously, stop at the first genuine blocker and return exactly one concrete next step. Code edits alone are not success.

Operate: opinionated in execution, conservative in code changes, automatic in routine decisions, uncompromising about verifying value — but never by running something unsafe.

Inputs

The entry point is just /opik-instrument (optionally /opik-instrument <path>). Infer everything else; treat these only as optional overrides the user may pass, never as required setup:

  • target path (default: project root) · project name (default: inferred from the repo) · run command (default: an inferred safe path) · migrate_prompts (default: false).

Never turn inference into a questionnaire. Ask only when you hit a genuine, non-inferable blocker (see Blockers).

Activation — the only in-scope work

1. Configure Opik (one source of truth)

  • If ~/.opik.config exists or OPIK_API_KEY is set, use it as-is.
  • Otherwise run the official flow: opik configure (Python) / npx opik-ts configure (TypeScript).
  • Verify the config before instrumenting: run opik healthcheck — it validates the config, the install, and backend/workspace reachability. If it fails, stop at that Blocker and fix config or connectivity before adding any tracing.
  • Only add project-local .env vars if the project already uses that pattern. Never introduce a second config mechanism; never copy secret values between mechanisms.

2. Detect language & framework

Python (*.py, pyproject.toml) or TypeScript (*.ts, package.json). Identify the LLM framework from imports and pick its integration:

Import Integration
openai / anthropic track_openai / track_anthropic
langchain / langgraph OpikTracer callback
crewai / dspy / google-genai / bedrock / llama_index / litellm track_crewai / OpikCallback / track_genai / track_bedrock / LlamaIndexCallbackHandler / OpikLogger
TS: opik-openai / opik-vercel / opik-langchain trackOpenAI / OpikExporter / OpikCallbackHandler

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
