Jim Bennett d79183139a Add Arize and Phoenix LLM observability skills (#1204)
* Add 9 Arize LLM observability skills

Add skills for Arize AI platform covering trace export, instrumentation,
datasets, experiments, evaluators, AI provider integrations, annotations,
prompt optimization, and deep linking to the Arize UI.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Add 3 Phoenix AI observability skills

Add skills for Phoenix (Arize open-source) covering CLI debugging,
LLM evaluation workflows, and OpenInference tracing/instrumentation.

* Ignoring intentional bad spelling

* Fix CI: remove .DS_Store from generated skills README and add codespell ignore

Remove .DS_Store artifact from winmd-api-search asset listing in generated
README.skills.md so it matches the CI Linux build output. Add queston to
codespell ignore list (intentional misspelling example in arize-dataset skill).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Add arize-ax and phoenix plugins

Bundle the 9 Arize skills into an arize-ax plugin and the 3 Phoenix
skills into a phoenix plugin for easier installation as single packages.

* Fix skill folder structures to match source repos

Move arize supporting files from references/ to root level and rename
phoenix references/ to rules/ to exactly match the original source
repository folder structures.

Phoenix Tracing

Comprehensive guide for instrumenting LLM applications with OpenInference tracing in Phoenix. Contains reference files covering setup, instrumentation, span types, and production deployment.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Setting up Phoenix tracing (Python or TypeScript)
  • Creating custom spans for LLM operations
  • Adding attributes following OpenInference conventions
  • Deploying tracing to production
  • Querying and analyzing trace data

Reference Categories

Priority Category Description Prefix
1 Setup Installation and configuration setup-*
2 Instrumentation Auto and manual tracing instrumentation-*
3 Span Types 9 span kinds with attributes span-*
4 Organization Projects and sessions projects-*, sessions-*
5 Enrichment Custom metadata metadata-*
6 Production Batch processing, masking production-*
7 Feedback Annotations and evaluation annotations-*

Quick Reference

1. Setup (START HERE)

2. Instrumentation

3. Span Types (with full attribute schemas)

4. Organization

5. Enrichment

6. Production (CRITICAL)

7. Feedback

Common Workflows

  • Quick Start: setup-{lang} → instrumentation-auto-{lang} → Check Phoenix
  • Custom Spans: setup-{lang} → instrumentation-manual-{lang} → span-{type}
  • Session Tracking: sessions-{lang} for conversation grouping patterns
  • Production: production-{lang} for batching, masking, and deployment

How to Use This Skill

Navigation Patterns:

# By category prefix
references/setup-*              # Installation and configuration
references/instrumentation-*    # Auto and manual tracing
references/span-*               # Span type specifications
references/sessions-*           # Session tracking
references/production-*         # Production deployment
references/fundamentals-*       # Core concepts
references/attributes-*         # Attribute specifications

# By language
references/*-python.md          # Python implementations
references/*-typescript.md      # TypeScript implementations

Reading Order:

  1. Start with setup-{lang} for your language
  2. Choose instrumentation-auto-{lang} OR instrumentation-manual-{lang}
  3. Reference span-{type} files as needed for specific operations
  4. See fundamentals-* files for attribute specifications
