To update a C/C++ third-party library under deps/, read deps/docs/updating_deps.md and follow it end-to-end. That file is the authoritative procedure; its supporting docs (bump-version.md, config-h-refresh.md, patches.md, verification.md) live alongside it under deps/docs/.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS — <dep-name> (required), <target-version> (optional; ask the user if not supplied). Pass these through to the procedure as its inputs.

The workflow lives under deps/docs/ (not inline here) so it stays discoverable by humans and non-Claude agents, and is owned alongside the code it touches (@DataDog/agent-build).

follow-pr

Monitor the current PR's GitLab pipeline to completion, then report success or investigate a failure. Use when the user asks to follow, babysit, watch, or wait on a PR/pipeline, or just after pushing to / creating a PR.

triage-ci-failure

Classify a failed CI as either caused by an active incident, flakiness, or a true code regression. Use when a PR's pipeline is red and it isn't obvious whether the PR's own changes are at fault. Trigger phrases include: - "investigate this CI failure" - "please fix CI" - "why did this job fail" - "is there an incident affecting CI" - "should I retry this" This should also be invoked whenever the user asks you to investigate _or fix_ a failing CI, to ensure we don't spend hours trying to fix something broken upstream.

write-e2e

Write or extend Datadog Agent new-e2e tests, including fakeintake coverage and the GitLab wiring that runs them; derives scope from the current diff when no target is named. Not for running tests that already exist (run-e2e, run-windows-e2e), or for judging whether a behavior belongs in E2E at all (e2e-audit).
