This skill builds on autotel-instrumentation. Read it first for init() and span creation.

Use framework-specific middleware or wrappers to create a span per request; then call getRequestLogger() inside handlers. Each framework package (autotel-hono, autotel-tanstack, autotel-cloudflare) provides the glue.

import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { init, getRequestLogger } from 'autotel';
import { otel } from 'autotel-hono';

init({ service: 'my-api' });

const app = new Hono();
app.use('*', otel({ serviceName: 'my-api' }));

app.post('/api/checkout', async (c) => {
  const log = getRequestLogger();
  log.set({ route: 'checkout' });
  const body = await c.req.json();
  log.set({ cart: { items: body.items?.length } });
  log.emitNow();
  return c.json({ ok: true });
});

Use middleware or a wrapper that creates a span per request (see apps/example-fastify). Inside the route, wrap with trace() or ensure a span is active, then getRequestLogger(ctx) or getRequestLogger().

See packages/autotel-tanstack and apps/example-tanstack-start: middleware and env config. Use getRequestLogger() inside server handlers when a span is active.

See packages/autotel-cloudflare: init at top level, wrap the fetch handler so each request gets a span. Use getRequestLogger() or trace context inside the handler.

Register middleware before routes: Middleware creates the span; getRequestLogger() needs that active span.

Framework-specific packages: autotel-hono, autotel-tanstack, autotel-cloudflare. Install the package for your framework and follow its README or CLAUDE.md.

Wrong:

const app = new Hono();
app.get('/api/x', (c) => {
  const log = getRequestLogger();
  return c.json({});
});

Correct:

const app = new Hono();
app.use('*', otel());
app.get('/api/x', (c) => {
  const log = getRequestLogger();
  return c.json({});
});

Middleware creates the span per request. Without it, getRequestLogger() has no active span and will throw.
