Guide for retrofitting OpenTelemetry into an existing, uninstrumented application. Trigger phrases: "migrate existing app to OTel", "add OpenTelemetry to existing project", "retrofit OTel into my codebase", "thread context through my code", "context propagation", "bridge Prometheus metrics to OTel", "logging bridge", "migrate logging to OTel", "slog bridge", "logback bridge", "verify my instrumentation", "traces are disconnected", "orphaned spans", "migrate to OpenTelemetry", "OTel migration plan", "how do I sequence an OTel migration", "add tracing to existing code", "refactor for context propagation", "Fiber context gotcha", "keep existing logging working with OTel", "add OTel without breaking Prometheus", "bridge existing metrics", "coexist with existing monitoring", or any request about retrofitting OpenTelemetry into an existing application. This skill is for migrating existing codebases, NOT greenfield instrumentation (use otel-instrumentation) or Beeline-specific migration (use beeline-migration).

OpenTelemetry Migration for Existing Applications

Guide for retrofitting OpenTelemetry into an existing, uninstrumented application. This covers the phased migration approach, context propagation refactoring, logging and metrics bridges, and verification. This is distinct from greenfield OTel setup (see otel-instrumentation skill) and Beeline-specific migration (see beeline-migration skill).

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user has an existing application that:

  • Has no OpenTelemetry instrumentation and needs to add it
  • Has existing logging, metrics, or context patterns that must coexist with OTel
  • Needs to refactor function signatures to thread trace context through the call stack
