datadog-app

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.

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.
