What it does
Otel Instrumentation is an agent skill from atherio-danp/cde-dotnetcc. Add or change OpenTelemetry tracing, metrics, and structured logging in the .NET API (apps/api) — OTLP exporter setup, custom ActivitySource spans, IMeterFactory metrics, log/trace correlation. Use when adding observability, custom spans/metrics, or troubleshooting distributed traces.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability. It works with OpenTelemetry and .NET. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code harness for .NET developers.
When your agent uses it
- Adding observability
- Custom spans/metrics
- Troubleshooting distributed traces
Example prompts
- “/otel-instrumentation”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Edit, Write, Bash, mcp__serena__initial_instructions, mcp__serena__get_symbols_overview, mcp__serena__find_symbol, mcp__serena__find_referencing_symbols, mcp__serena__find_declaration, mcp__serena__find_implementations, mcp__serena__search_for_pattern, mcp__serena__get_diagnostics_for_file, mcp__serena__list_dir, mcp__serena__find_file, mcp__serena__create_text_file, mcp__serena__replace_symbol_body, mcp__serena__insert_after_symbol, mcp__serena__insert_before_symbol, mcp__serena__replace_content, mcp__serena__rename_symbol, mcp__serena__safe_delete_symbol
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Packages (flag for approval)
- Configure all three signals in Program.cs (via Serena)
- Logs correlate automatically
- Custom spans
- Custom metrics — via IMeterFactory (DI), not new Meter()
- Context propagation across queues/pipeline stages
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c72a3f9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGlobGrepEditWriteBashmcp__serena__initial_instructionsmcp__serena__get_symbols_overviewmcp__serena__find_symbolmcp__serena__find_referencing_symbols
…and 13 more on the same allowed-tools line.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Otel Instrumentation loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 386 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Edit, Write, Bash, mcp__serena__initial_instructions, mcp__serena__get_symbols_ove
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 386 words (~1,349 tokens).
“Adapted for our stack: OTLP → self-hosted Grafana/Tempo/Loki/Prometheus on your (EU) host — never Azure Monitor / Application Insights. EF Core on Npgsql (not SqlClient). C# (.cs) edits go through Serena (native Edit/Write on .cs is blocked). Follows docs/projectStandards/backend-architecture.md and…”
