| 7 | +# OTEL Investigation Skill |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The user invokes this as `/investigate-otel <span_id>` where `<span_id>` is a 16-character hex string identifying an `lsp.llm_report` span in the local otel-viewer. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## OTEL Viewer API (http://localhost:4707) |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +Only these endpoints exist — do NOT invent others: |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +- `GET /api/spans/{span_id}/context` — **start here** for `lsp.llm_report` spans. Returns the report's `message` attribute AND the session timeline (filtered `did_save`/`did_change`/`flush` siblings) in one call. |
| 16 | +- `GET /api/spans/{span_id}/flush` — structured flush summary with errors inlined. Use for flush spans found in the context. |
| 17 | +- `GET /api/spans/{span_id}` — full span detail (attributes, events). Use for drill-down. |
| 18 | +- `GET /api/spans/{span_id}/children` — direct children of a span. Use for drill-down. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +## Procedure |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +1. **Fetch context** — this is the entry point, gives you the report message and session timeline: |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | + ``` |
| 25 | + curl -s http://localhost:4707/api/spans/{SPAN_ID}/context | jq . |
| 26 | + ``` |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | + The `target_span.attributes.message` is the user's problem description. `session_spans` is the chronological editing session. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +2. **Drill into flushes** — for `lsp.flush` spans in `session_spans` (especially with `has_error: true`): |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + ``` |
| 33 | + curl -s http://localhost:4707/api/spans/{FLUSH_SPAN_ID}/flush | jq . |
| 34 | + ``` |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +3. **Drill deeper** if needed via `/api/spans/{id}` or `/api/spans/{id}/children`. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +4. **Read rewatch source** based on what the traces reveal: |
| 39 | + - `rewatch/src/lsp/` — LSP logic |
| 40 | + - `rewatch/src/build/` — build system |
| 41 | + - `rewatch/src/watcher.rs` — file watching |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +5. **Summarize**: what the report describes, session timeline, where things went wrong, root cause hypothesis, suggested fix. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +## Notes |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +- Attributes like `code.filepath`, `code.namespace`, `code.lineno`, `thread.name` are instrumentation noise — ignore them. |
| 48 | +- The `/context` endpoint already filters to session-relevant spans with gap detection. |
| 49 | +- The `/flush` endpoint shows build stages with error texts inlined; collapsed subtrees have `span_id` for drill-down. |
