What Opik does

Opik provides SDK reference for tracing LLM apps, span types, framework integrations, threads, and prompt versioning. Use it when you need the right API for instrumentation, flushing traces, or linking prompts to traces.

Opik is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Opik comes from a repository tagged claude-code, generative-ai, llm-observability, mcp and mcp-server.

Documentation

README

Opik SDK Reference

Opik is an open-source LLM observability platform. This skill is a reference for the SDK. To instrument a codebase step by step (detect frameworks, add config, emit and verify a trace), use the task-shaped opik-instrument skill.

Core concepts

A trace is one execution path (one request โ†’ one response). Spans are the operations inside it and form a hierarchy.

Span types โ€” the ONLY valid values

Type Use for
general orchestration, agent entry points
llm model calls
tool tools, retrieval, API / DB calls
guardrail safety / validation checks

Do NOT use retrieval or any other value.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

The rest of the collection is listed on the comet-ml/opik-mcp page.

  • How does Opik compare to other AI Engineering skills?

    Opik ranks #2619 by stars among the 2970 AI Engineering skills in this catalog. The most-starred ones next to it are Architecture Decision Records, AI-First Engineering and Agentic OS. DirSkills ranks by the star count of the repository each skill ships in, so that order reflects how popular those repositories are rather than any review of Opik against them.
