## What it does

Everything runs through the remotely hosted LaunchDarkly MCP server. Six tools are available: `preview-graph` renders a chart without saving, `create-graph` adds one to an existing dashboard, `create-dashboard` makes an empty one, `list-dashboards` and `get-dashboard` show what already exists, and `get-keys` returns the metrics, attributes and keys for a product type. Each tool needs a `projectKey`.

The workflow starts by picking a target dashboard. Then call `get-keys` before writing any query, because attribute names differ across services — you will see `service_name`, `service.name` and `serviceName` in the same setup, and guessing returns empty results. After that `preview-graph` renders the chart, you confirm it, and only then does `create-graph` commit it. Multiple charts get previewed and confirmed one at a time.

There are sharp edges. `productType` is PascalCase: `Sessions`, not `sessions`. A `Count` aggregator requires `column`, passed as an empty string. `CountDistinct` has no underscore. And `get-keys` wants a full ISO timestamp like `2026-03-04T00:00:00Z`, not a date alone. Get an enum wrong and the API rejects the call, so checking keys first is not optional.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add launchdarkly/ai-tooling --skill create-graph -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add launchdarkly/ai-tooling --skill create-graph -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add launchdarkly/ai-tooling --skill create-graph -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install launchdarkly/ai-tooling create-graph
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add launchdarkly/ai-tooling --skill create-graph -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/launchdarkly/ai-tooling --path skills/observability/create-graph
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add launchdarkly/ai-tooling --skill create-graph -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/launchdarkly/ai-tooling/tree/HEAD/skills/observability/create-graph/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- chart error rates broken down by service
- preview a chart before saving it
- create an empty dashboard for a new metric
- copy an existing graph with its full config
- discover available metrics and attributes for a product type

## Example prompts
- build a chart of errors by service for the last day
- preview P95 latency and show me before saving
- duplicate the graph from that dashboard onto a new one

# Create graphs and dashboards

## Prerequisites

This skill uses the following LaunchDarkly MCP tools:

- `preview-graph` — render a chart preview inline without saving it
- `create-graph` — add a chart to an existing dashboard
- `create-dashboard` — create a new empty dashboard
- `list-dashboards` — list existing dashboards
- `get-dashboard` — get the full config of a dashboard, including its graphs
- `get-keys` — discover available metrics, attributes, and keys for a product type

All of these tools require a `projectKey` (e.g. `"default"`).

## Overview

You are building observability graphs. Your tools are precise — get the enum values wrong and the API rejects the call. Always use `get-keys` before building a query to confirm the dimension names are real.

## Capabilities

- `list-dashboards` — list existing dashboards to check for duplicates or find a target
- `get-dashboard` — get the full config of an existing dashboard, including its graphs
- `create-dashboard` — create a new dashboard
- `preview-graph` — render a chart preview inline
- `create-graph` — add a chart to a dashboard
- `get-keys` — discover available metrics, attributes, and keys for a product type

When the user's request is purely about visualizing data, stay on task — don't reach for unrelated tools.

## Workflow

1. **Identify the target dashboard.** If the user already has a specific dashboard in mind (by ID or name), add graphs to it directly. Otherwise, call `list-dashboards` and offer to target an existing one or create a new one with `create-dashboard`.
2. **Discover the data shape.** Call `get-keys` for the relevant product type before building a query. Attribute names vary across services — `service_name` vs `service.name` vs `serviceName`. Guessing wastes tool calls.
3. **For ambiguous requests, ask a brief clarifying question** as regular text. Example: "I found several latency-related keys. Would you like P50 or P95 latency, and should I group by service name?" Keep clarifications short — one or two questions max. For minor ambiguity (chart type preference), make a reasonable default and note your assumption.
