distributed-tracing

distributed-tracing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from luanpdd/kit-mcp. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,187 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to connecting traces across services, queues, batch jobs, and serverless functions using OpenTelemetry and standard request context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add trace and span identifiers, propagate context between services, and link work across HTTP calls, queues, batches, and Lambda functions.
Why use it?
It prevents distributed traces from breaking when a request crosses service or asynchronous boundaries.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

distributed-tracing scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Observabilidade — Distributed Tracing

Quando usar

LLM carrega esta skill ao instrumentar tracing distribuído ou stitching de spans. Trigger phrases:

  • "distributed tracing", "traces", "spans"
  • "propagar contexto entre serviços", "trace cross-service"
  • "W3C TraceContext", "traceparent header"
  • "trace_id span_id parent_span_id"
  • "ligar lambda batch job ao trace"
  • "stitching de eventos"

Regras absolutas

  • trace_id é compartilhado entre todos os spans de um único request distribuído. NÃO mude por hop.
  • span_id é único por span — gere novo a cada startSpan(). 16 hex chars (8 bytes).
  • parent_span_id aponta para span pai — null no root span. Define a árvore.
  • W3C TraceContext é o padrão — header HTTP traceparent: 00-{trace_id}-{span_id}-{flags}. Adote sempre. B3 é fallback para legacy.
  • Propague ANTES de fazer call cross-service — extrair contexto do request inbound, propagar no request outbound. Sem isso, trace quebra.
  • Stitching ≠ apenas RPC — também batch jobs, queue messages, lambda invocations, S3 uploads. Carregue traceparent em metadata da queue, env var do lambda, header da Step Function.
  • Sample decision propaga — bit 01 em flags de traceparent significa "sample=true". Decisão tomada no head propaga downstream.
  • Não invente trace_id — sempre derive do contexto inbound ou gere via SDK (não crypto.randomUUID()).
  • Spans devem ter kindSERVER (handler de inbound), CLIENT (call outbound), PRODUCER/CONSUMER (queue), INTERNAL (subspan dentro do mesmo process).

Patterns canônicos

Pattern: extrair contexto inbound + propagar outbound (Node)

// PT-BR: handler HTTP — extrai traceparent do request inbound, propaga em call outbound
import { trace, context, propagation } from '@opentelemetry/api'

const tracer = trace.getTracer('orders-service')

export async function placeOrder(req: Request) {
  // PT-BR: 1 — extrair contexto inbound do header traceparent
  const inboundContext = propagation.extract(context.active(), req.headers)

  return tracer.startActiveSpan(
    'place_order',
    { kind: SpanKind.SERVER },
    inboundContext,
    async (span) => {
      span.setAttribute('user.id', req.user.id)

      // PT-BR: 2 — fazer call outbound — propagation injeta traceparent automaticamente
      //         se você usar fetch/grpc instrumentados (ver skill opentelemetry-standard)
      const outboundHeaders: Record<string, string> = {}
      propagation.inject(context.active(), outboundHeaders)

      const inventoryRes = await fetch('http://inventory/check', {
        headers: outboundHeaders,  // PT-BR: traceparent injetado aqui
        body: JSON.stringify({ items: req.items })
      })

      span.end()
      return inventoryRes.json()
    }
  )
}

distributed-tracing is a skill published in the GitHub repository luanpdd/kit-mcp (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 3,187 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
