datadog-agent-skill

An agent skill that teaches AI coding agents how to query Datadog observability data using pup (Datadog's official CLI).

What it does

When installed, this skill gives your AI agent the ability to:

• Search logs -- find errors, filter by service/env/status, control time ranges
• Aggregate logs -- count errors, compute averages, group by dimensions
• Query metrics -- time-series data, CPU/memory/custom metrics
• Inspect APM services -- performance stats, operations, endpoints
• View dependencies -- service call graphs, flow maps

All commands use pup, Datadog's official CLI, under the hood.

Install the skill

npx skills add ethanrcohen/datadog-agent-skill

Prerequisites

1. Install pup: brew install datadog/pack/pup
2. Authenticate: pup auth login (OAuth2, preferred) or set DD_API_KEY + DD_APP_KEY env vars

Previously

This repo was ddcli, a standalone Datadog CLI. The CLI functionality is now covered by DataDog/pup. This repo now focuses solely on the agent skill layer.
