A troubleshooting tool for a local OpenTelemetry setup. OpenTelemetry is a standard way for software to collect and send telemetry such as logs, traces, and metrics.

Use it to check Colima, Docker, the OpenTelemetry collector container, environment settings, and whether telemetry is reaching its data directory.

It finds the first broken part of the local telemetry path, such as a stopped Colima virtual machine, an unavailable Docker service, a port conflict, missing settings, or absent data.

Token cost

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00078	$0.00609
Opus 5.5	$0.00031	$0.00244
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00016	$0.00122
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00061

Security

Grade A, and why

otel-doctor 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 yesterday.

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 — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OTel Doctor

Delegates to workflows/code/otel-doctor.yaml.

When to Use

telemetry otel <cmd> fails with "OpenTelemetry infrastructure not found"
User asks why Colima or the otel collector isn't working
After setting up docker-compose.otel.yaml for the first time, to confirm it's wired correctly

How to Run

IMPORTANT: Use the /workflow skill — do NOT call ./bin/workflow run --execute directly. It only writes dispatch files and exits (status=pending). The /workflow skill is what actually spawns agents, waits for results, and handles human gates.

Skill(skill="workflow", args="--workflow workflows/code/otel-doctor.yaml")

No params required.

Workflow Stages

diagnose — run 5 checks in order, stop at the first failure: Colima running → Docker daemon reachable → this repo's otel-collector container up (including port-collision detection) → OTEL_*/CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY env vars set in the current shell → data actually flowing to the resolved data directory (~/.config/otel/*.jsonl by default — but resolves TELEMETRY_DATA_DIR and OTEL_DATA_DIR first, since they're two independent overrides for the CLI reader vs. the compose bind mount, respectively).
propose-fix [human gate] — proposes exactly one fix for the first failing check. Never proposes stopping or reconfiguring another project's container to resolve a port collision — always rebinds this repo's docker-compose.otel.yaml instead.
apply-fix — runs the approved command or edit (e.g. colima start, docker compose -f docker-compose.otel.yaml up -d, rebinding ports, adding the env var block to ~/.zshrc).
verify — re-runs the same 5 checks to confirm progress.
report — summary: diagnosis, fix applied, current state, next steps.

Known Non-Fixable-In-Process Case

If the first failing check is "env vars set", the workflow cannot fix it from within the current process — a new shell/Claude Code session must start after the vars are exported for telemetry to actually flow. The report stage states this plainly rather than claiming success.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

otel-doctor is a skill published in the GitHub repository dancing-bear-show/dancing-bear (7 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 609 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-11-07.
