Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads datadog-labs/agent-skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.
npx skills add datadog-labs/agent-skills
Maintenance
Ensure the user has an authenticated Datadog account with a valid DD_API_KEY on the right region before any Datadog setup or instrumentation. Detects existing DD_API_KEY / DD_APP_KEY / DD_SITE, validates them against the Datadog API, and fixes the common wrong-region 403. If no usable key exists, signs the user in (OAuth) or creates a new account, then obtains and validates a key. Use this whenever a user needs a Datadog account or API key, hits a 403 / wrong-region error, or is about to run any Datadog *-setup or instrumentation skill.
