Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install opentelemetry-retrofit-migration

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 guides the migration in phases: SDK initialization, HTTP middleware, context propagation, custom spans, logs and metrics. It flags common pitfalls and suggests checks to avoid orphaned traces. You get an action plan and code compatible with what already exists.
