What this skill does

Otel Governance is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the hello-world-templates sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/otel-governance/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when setting up team-level monitoring or cost controls for Claude Code.
