Instrument with OpenTelemetry

Purpose

Add OpenTelemetry (OTEL) instrumentation to service methods for distributed tracing, structured logging, and observability across Clean Architecture layers.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Adding new service methods that need observability
• Debugging complex execution flows across layers
• Investigating performance issues or bottlenecks
• Need distributed tracing for multi-service operations
• Adding structured logging with trace correlation
• Instrumenting Application, Infrastructure, or Interface layers
• Replacing print() statements with proper logging
• Tracking operations across method boundaries
