# OpenTelemetry .NET Instrumentation Skill
## When to Use
- Adding OpenTelemetry instrumentation to .NET code (traces, metrics, logs)
- Creating or modifying ActivitySources, Meters, or ILogger usage
- Setting up the OpenTelemetry SDK, resources, exporters, or sampling
- Reviewing telemetry implementations for spec compliance
- Optimizing instrumentation performance
- Designing telemetry APIs that become part of the public surface
- Implementing context propagation across service boundaries
## Architecture: .NET Is Different
