What is otel-generic-style?

A set of conventions for adding OpenTelemetry monitoring to applications in languages without a more specific guide, such as Go, Java, Ruby, Rust, .NET, PHP, Elixir, or plain Node.js. OpenTelemetry is a standard way to collect traces, logs, and measurements.

Use it when adding monitoring to web routes, background jobs, command-line tools, or other application operations. It covers native OpenTelemetry SDKs, bounded traces, errors, OTLP logs, and resource details.

It provides a consistent monitoring approach across different programming languages and helps keep tracing code tied to meaningful operations instead of scattered throughout the application.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00072	$0.02492
Opus 5.5	$0.00029	$0.00997

Security

Grade A, and why

otel-generic-style scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 225 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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.

Use the language's official OTel SDK

Pull the SDK and exporters from the OpenTelemetry project for that language. Do not invent helper APIs around it. Examples:

Go: go.opentelemetry.io/otel, otel/sdk, otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp
Java/Kotlin: io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-sdk + opentelemetry-exporter-otlp (or the Java agent for auto-instrumentation)
Ruby: opentelemetry-sdk, opentelemetry-exporter-otlp, opentelemetry-instrumentation-all
Rust: opentelemetry, opentelemetry_sdk, opentelemetry-otlp
.NET/C#: OpenTelemetry, OpenTelemetry.Exporter.OpenTelemetryProtocol, framework OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.* packages
PHP: open-telemetry/sdk, open-telemetry/exporter-otlp
Elixir: :opentelemetry, :opentelemetry_api, :opentelemetry_exporter
Plain Node/TS: @opentelemetry/sdk-node + @opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node (use @vercel/otel for Next.js — see otel-nextjs-style)

Use HTTP OTLP exporters, not gRPC. gRPC pulls in native bindings that break bundlers, slim containers, and serverless cold starts.

Acquire tracers/meters once, at module/package scope

Whatever the idiomatic "module top" is in that language — package-level vars in Go, static fields in Java/.NET, top-of-file constants in Ruby/Node, @moduledoc-level attributes in Elixir. Don't construct a fresh tracer or meter on every call.

// Go
var (
    tracer = otel.Tracer("mugline.api")
    meter  = otel.Meter("mugline.api")
    ordersSubmitted, _ = meter.Int64Counter("orders.submitted")
)
