# agent-skills

A set of Datadog skills for AI agents: logs, traces, monitors, cloud integrations. Useful when the agent has to handle observability work itself.

## What it does

\`agent-skills` is a bundle from datadog-labs, one skill per slice of Datadog. `dd-pup` covers the `pup` CLI: auth, PATH, every command. `dd-logs` searches logs and works with pipelines and archives, `dd-apm` reads traces and service performance, `dd-monitors` creates and mutes alerts. Cloud work sits in `dd-aws-integration`, `dd-azure-integration`, `dd-gcp-integration` and `dd-oci-integration`, each wiring a cloud account to Datadog with Terraform.

Instrumentation has its own skills. `dd-instrument-rum` adds Browser RUM to React, Next.js, Angular, Vue, Nuxt, Svelte or plain JS. `dd-instrument-llmo` instruments Python and Node.js/Next.js AI backends with LLM Observability and links RUM sessions to LLMO. `dd-account-setup` validates the API key and region, and fixes wrong-region 403s. `dd-software-delivery` unblocks a PR and triages flaky tests.

You need `pup` installed and authenticated first — the repo's Setup Pup section covers both. OAuth tokens expire after roughly an hour, so a 401 or 403 usually means running `pup auth refresh`. Install only what you need: the README shows a core set of `dd-pup`, `dd-monitors`, `dd-logs`, `dd-apm` and `dd-docs` in one command, with CI/CD skills added separately.

## Requirements
- Works with: Datadog

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add datadog-labs/agent-skills --skill agent-skills -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/agent-skills/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/agent-skills/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add datadog-labs/agent-skills --skill agent-skills -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/agent-skills/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add datadog-labs/agent-skills --skill agent-skills -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/agent-skills/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install datadog-labs/agent-skills agent-skills
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/agent-skills/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add datadog-labs/agent-skills --skill agent-skills -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/datadog-labs/agent-skills
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/agent-skills/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add datadog-labs/agent-skills --skill agent-skills -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/datadog-labs/agent-skills/tree/HEAD/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find error logs from the last hour
- inspect slow traces for a service
- create a monitor and schedule downtime
- connect an AWS account to Datadog with Terraform
- triage a flaky test in CI

## Example prompts
- search the logs for errors in the last hour with pup
- find traces for the api service slower than 500ms
- connect our AWS account to Datadog with Terraform
