AI Agent Skill

Copy the Anyway skill to teach your AI coding agent how to instrument your applications

What is this?

A skill file is a markdown file that gives AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) domain-specific knowledge. The Anyway skill teaches your agent how to add observability and tracing to your AI applications using the Anyway SDK.

With this skill installed, you can give your agent instructions like:

• "Add Anyway tracing to my app"
• "Instrument this function with workflow and task spans"
• "Set up the Anyway SDK with environment variables"

Anyway is a financial OS for AI agents that lets you monetize agent outcomes and capture real value. Anyway SDK provides AI observability, cost tracking, and better monetization for LLM applications.

## SDKs

- **Python** (`anyway-sdk`): Python 3.10+
- **JavaScript** (`@anyway-sh/node-server-sdk`): Node.js 18+

## Rules

- Never hardcode API keys — use environment variables or a secrets manager
- Always call `Traceloop.init()` (Python) or `initialize()` (JS) before any LLM calls
- For ESM/Next.js projects, always pass provider modules via `instrumentModules`
- The collector endpoint is `https://collector.anyway.sh/`
- The SDK auto-instruments calls to OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Bedrock, Vertex AI, and other providers — manual span creation is only needed for workflow/task structure
