# Tracing Schema Generator Skill

## Overview

Generates OpenTelemetry tracing schemas including span attribute definitions, trace context propagation, and Jaeger/Zipkin integration configurations.

## Capabilities

- OpenTelemetry tracing schemas
- Span attribute definitions
- Trace context propagation (W3C, B3)
- Jaeger integration
- Zipkin integration
- Baggage propagation
- Sampling strategy configuration
- Span naming conventions

## Target Processes

- observability-implementation
- microservices-decomposition
