Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install opentelemetry-instrumentation-2

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent configures the OpenTelemetry SDK for your language, sets the OTLP variables for Honeycomb, then adds attributes, custom spans and events. It also helps tune sampling and collector configuration. You get an application that sends usable traces.
