Generic OTel Style

Use this skill for any language that does not have its own otel-*-style companion (Go, Java/Kotlin, Ruby, Rust, .NET/C#, PHP, Elixir, plain Node/TypeScript without Next.js or Expo, etc.). Read otel-onboarding-style first for the cross-language rules; this skill is the language-agnostic translation of that guidance.

If a language-specific skill exists for the runtime in front of you (otel-python-style, otel-fastapi-style, otel-livekit-style, otel-nextjs-style, otel-expo-style, otel-supabase-edge-style), prefer that one — it overrides this skill.
