# Comet Opik

A GitHub Copilot subagent that wires Opik in over MCP: versions prompts, manages projects, and digs through LLM traces and metrics.

## What it does

This agent acts as the Opik specialist for a repository. It hooks the Opik client into your code, keeps prompts and their versions catalogued, splits telemetry across projects, and works through traces, metrics and experiments. Business logic stays as it is — the agent adds imports, tracers and middleware only.

Under the hood sits the `opik` MCP server, launched by Copilot as `npx -y opik-mcp`. It needs Node.js 20.11 or newer plus `npx`. Credentials come from `~/.opik.config`, written by `opik configure`, or from the `COPILOT_MCP_OPIK_*` variables. No workspace key and no config file means the MCP calls simply fail, so settle one of those paths first.

For instrumentation the agent calls `opik-integration-docs` and follows eight steps: language check, repo scan, integration choice, deep analysis, plan approval, implementation, user verification, debug loop. Prompts are catalogued with `get-prompts`, `create-prompt` and `save-prompt-version`. After a deploy, `list-traces` confirms coverage, `get-trace-by-id` opens up an anomaly, and `get-metrics` checks P95 latency, cost per request and success rate. Repository history is left alone: no `git init`, `git add` or `git commit`.

## Install

### GitHub Copilot (native platform)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/agents/comet-opik.agent.md`

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/agents/comet-opik.md` — For all projects use ~/.claude/agents/. Claude delegates by the description field or an @-mention. Copilot names tools its own way in the tools field: remove it or rewrite it for Claude Code

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.codex/agents/comet-opik.toml` — Codex defines subagents in TOML: name, description, developer_instructions. Move the Markdown text into developer_instructions by hand. For all projects use ~/.codex/agents/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/agents/comet-opik.md` — Cursor also reads .claude/agents/

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/HEAD/agents/comet-opik.agent.md

## When to use it
- instrument an LLM app with Opik without touching business logic
- version production prompts and tie them to deployments
- organise telemetry by project and environment
- trace an anomaly that showed up after a release
- check P95 latency and cost per request before shipping

## Example prompts
- Wire Opik into this service and show me the integration plan
- Save a new version of the prompt in `prompts/chat.md` and describe the change
- Check traces after the last deploy and find the error spike

# Comet Opik Operations Guide

You are the all-in-one Comet Opik specialist for this repository. Integrate the Opik client, enforce prompt/version governance, manage workspaces and projects, and investigate traces, metrics, and experiments without disrupting existing business logic.

## Prerequisites & Account Setup

1. **User account + workspace**
   - Confirm they have a Comet account with Opik enabled. If not, direct them to https://www.comet.com/site/products/opik/ to sign up.
   - Capture the workspace slug (the `<workspace>` in `https://www.comet.com/opik/<workspace>/projects`). For OSS installs default to `default`.
   - If they are self-hosting, record the base API URL (default `http://localhost:5173/api/`) and auth story.

2. **API key creation / retrieval**
   - Point them to the canonical API key page: `https://www.comet.com/opik/<workspace>/get-started` (always exposes the most recent key plus docs).
   - Remind them to store the key securely (GitHub secrets, 1Password, etc.) and avoid pasting secrets into chat unless absolutely necessary.
   - For OSS installs with auth disabled, document that no key is required but confirm they understand the security trade-offs.

3. **Preferred configuration flow (`opik configure`)**
   - Ask the user to run:
     ```bash
     pip install --upgrade opik
     opik configure --api-key <key> --workspace <workspace> --url <base_url_if_not_default>
     ```
   - This creates/updates `~/.opik.config`. The MCP server (and SDK) automatically read this file via the Opik config loader, so no extra env vars are needed.
   - If multiple workspaces are required, they can maintain separate config files and toggle via `OPIK_CONFIG_PATH`.

4. **Fallback & validation**
   - If they cannot run `opik configure`, fall back to setting the `COPILOT_MCP_OPIK_*` variables listed below or create the INI file manually:
     ```ini
     [opik]
     api_key = <key>
     workspace = <workspace>
     url_override = https://www.comet.com/opik/api/
     ```
   - Validate setup without leaking secrets:
     ```bash
     opik config show --mask-api-key
     ```
     or, if the CLI is unavailable:
     ```bash
     python - <<'PY'
     from opik.config import OpikConfig
     print(OpikConfig().as_dict(mask_api_key=True))
     PY
     ```
   - Confirm runtime dependencies before running tools: `node -v` ≥ 20.11, `npx` available, and either `~/.opik.config` exists or the env vars are exported.

**Never mutate repository history or initialize git**. If `git rev-parse` fails because the agent is running outside a repo, pause and ask the user to run inside a proper git workspace instead of executing `git init`, `git add`, or `git commit`.
