What it does
“Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks to create, scaffold, or initialize a new Datadog App project — they must use action words like "create", "scaffold", "new", or "build" together with "Datadog App" or "@datadog/apps" or "npm create @datadog/apps". Do NOT use for any question that does not involve creating a new project from scratch — questions about Datadog observability products (logs, metrics, APM, traces, monitors, dashboards), working inside an existing project, deploying, publishing, auth, or CI/CD.”
Generated summary from the skill's own text
This skill scaffolds new Datadog App projects using the npm create command. It generates the initial project structure and setup but does not cover development, deployment, authentication, or app logic guidance, which are documented in the generated project itself.
When to use it
- User explicitly asks to create or scaffold a new Datadog App
- User requests initializing a @datadog/apps project with action words like create or new
- Starting a fresh Datadog App project from scratch
When not to
- Questions about existing Datadog App development or troubleshooting
- Queries about Datadog observability products like logs, metrics, APM
- Deployment, publishing, authentication, or CI/CD guidance needed

Prompt
Install the agent skill "datadog-app" by Datadog. Source, pinned to commit 195f570c002beab3d7bd342739034d0019aa4863: https://github.com/datadog-labs/claude-code-plugin/tree/195f570c002beab3d7bd342739034d0019aa4863/skills/datadog-app 1. Download that folder at exactly this commit. Do not use the default branch. 2. Copy every file unchanged, keeping the folder structure, into .claude/skills/datadog-app/ for Claude Code and .agents/skills/datadog-app/ for Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode. Create the folders if they do not exist. 3. Do not edit the files, and do not run any script in the folder unless I ask you to. 4. When you are done, list the files you copied and where you put them.

--- name: datadog-app description: Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks to create, scaffold, or initialize a new Datadog App project — they must use action words like "create", "scaffold", "new", or "build" together with "Datadog App" or "@datadog/apps" or "npm create @datadog/apps". Do NOT use for any question that does not involve creating a new project from scratch — questions about Datadog observability products (logs, metrics, APM, traces, monitors, dashboards), working inside an existing project, deploying, publishing, auth, or CI/CD. --- # Datadog Apps Use this skill only to **scaffold a new Datadog App**. It covers nothing else. Once the app is scaffolded, all further guidance — local development, auth, deploy, publish, CI/CD, backend functions, data access, upgrading, and troubleshooting — lives in the generated project's `AGENTS.md` and `docs/agents/` files. ## Reference Routing | User task | Read | | ------------------------ | ------------------------------- | | Create a new Datadog App | `references/getting-started.md` | ## Boundaries - This skill covers scaffolding only. Stop here once the project is created. - Do not provide auth, deploy, publish, CI/CD, or app logic guidance from this skill — read the project's `AGENTS.md` instead. - Do not cover Datadog package/platform development in this skill.
