Quick Review

This skill provides a solid foundation for distributed tracing setup with clear examples and workflow steps. The description adequately explains when and how to use the skill, covering backend selection, instrumentation strategy, and configuration generation. The structure is well-organized with appropriate sections, and references to scripts (instrument_service.py, setup_jaeger.sh) suggest concrete implementation details exist. However, the description could be more specific about exact parameters needed for CLI invocation, and some sections (Prerequisites, Error Handling) are generic templates rather than detailed guidance. The novelty is moderate - while distributed tracing setup involves multiple complex steps (instrumentation, context propagation, backend configuration), experienced developers might accomplish this with existing tools, though automation does provide value in reducing boilerplate and configuration errors.
