# DD File Issue Skill
This skill helps you file GitHub issues to the correct repository. All issues — whether related to the `pup` CLI, skills, agents, or documentation — are tracked in `DataDog/pup`.
**Invocation**: `/dd-file-issue`
## Decision Logic: Which Repository?
### File to `DataDog/pup` Repository
All issues are filed here, including:
- **API Functionality**: API calls failing, incorrect responses, missing API endpoints
- **Authentication**: OAuth2 issues, token refresh problems, API key handling
- **CLI Behavior**: Command syntax, flags not working, output format issues
- **pup Installation**: Binary installation, PATH issues, version problems
- **API Coverage**: Missing Datadog API endpoints, incomplete command coverage
- **Performance**: Slow API calls, timeout issues
- **Error Messages**: Confusing pup error messages, API errors
- **Agent Behavior**: Agent selection, agent prompts, agent responses
- **Documentation**: README, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, agent files inaccurate
- **Agent Prompts**: Agent giving wrong guidance, unclear instructions
- **Skill Issues**: Skills not working correctly
- **Agent Selection**: Claude picking wrong agent for task
- **Examples/Guides**: Missing or incorrect examples in agent files
- **User Experience**: Confusing workflows, unclear instructions
**Example Issues**:
- "pup logs search returns 404 error"
- "OAuth token refresh not working"
- "Need support for new Datadog API endpoint"
- "pup --output=json returns invalid JSON"
- "pup auth login fails on Linux"
- "logs agent doesn't explain query syntax clearly"
- "Agent tells me to use wrong pup command"
- "Documentation says to use TypeScript but we use pup now"
- "Need better examples for metrics queries"
- "Agent selection guide is confusing"
## Workflow
1. **Gather Information**
- What went wrong?
- What were you trying to do?
- What error message did you see (if any)?
- What agent/command were you using?
2. **Determine Repository**
- All issues go to `DataDog/pup`
3. **Check for Existing Issues**
- Search the target repository for similar issues
- If found, suggest commenting on existing issue instead
4. **Collect Issue Details**
- Title: Clear, concise summary (e.g., "logs agent: incorrect time format example")
- Body: Detailed description with:
- What happened
- Expected behavior
- Steps to reproduce
- Environment details (OS, pup version, plugin version)
- Relevant logs/errors
5. **Select Issue Type**
- Bug report
- Feature request
- Documentation improvement
- Question
6. **Create Issue**
- Use `gh issue create` to file the issue
- Add appropriate labels
- Provide issue URL to user
## Implementation
### 1. Determine Repository
All issues are filed against `DataDog/pup`. Ask clarifying questions to gather detail:
```markdown
To file this issue correctly, I need to understand:
1. What were you trying to do?
2. What went wrong?
3. Was this a problem with:
- A pup command not working?
- An agent giving bad guidance?
- Documentation being wrong/unclear?
```
### 2. Search for Existing Issues
```bash
gh issue list \
--repo DataDog/pup \
--search "your search terms" \
--limit 10
```
### 3. Create Issue
```bash
gh issue create \
--repo DataDog/pup \
--title "Clear, concise title" \
--body "Detailed description" \
--label "bug" # or "enhancement", "documentation"
```
### Issue Body Template

```markdown
## Description
[Clear description of the issue]
## Expected Behavior
[What should happen]
## Actual Behavior
[What actually happened]
## Steps to Reproduce
1. [First step]
2. [Second step]
3. [...]
## Environment
- OS: [e.g., macOS 14.1, Ubuntu 22.04]
- Pup version: [run `pup --version`]
- Plugin version: [from plugin.json]
- Claude Code version: [if relevant]
## Error Messages / Logs

## Best Practices
### Good Issue Titles
✅ Good:
- "logs agent: incorrect time format documentation"
- "pup metrics query: --from flag ignores relative time"
- "Agent selection guide: missing decision tree for security agents"
❌ Bad:
- "It doesn't work"
- "Bug"
- "Help"
### When to Bundle Issues
- **Don't bundle** unrelated issues - file separately
- **Do bundle** if multiple issues stem from same root cause
- **Do bundle** if documenting several examples of same problem
### Labels to Use
**For pup repository**:
- `bug` - Something isn't working
- `enhancement` - New feature or request
- `documentation` - Improvements or additions to documentation
- `agent` - Related to specific agent behavior
- `skill` - Related to skills
- `question` - Further information is requested
## Examples
### Example 1: Filing a pup Bug
**User**: "The pup logs search command times out after 30 seconds"
**Analysis**: This is a pup CLI issue (command behavior)
**Steps**:
1. Search existing issues: `gh issue list --repo DataDog/pup --search "timeout"`
2. If not found, create issue:
```bash
gh issue create \
--repo DataDog/pup \
--title "pup logs search: command times out after 30 seconds" \
--body "## Description
The \`pup logs search\` command times out after 30 seconds when searching large time ranges.
## Expected Behavior
Should either complete the query or allow configurable timeout.
## Actual Behavior
Command fails with timeout error after 30 seconds.
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Run: \`pup logs search --query='*' --from='7d' --to='now'\`
2. Wait 30 seconds
3. See timeout error
## Environment
- OS: macOS 14.1
- Pup version: 1.2.3
- DD_SITE: datadoghq.com
## Error Message
\`\`\`
Error: request timeout after 30000ms
\`\`\`
" \
--label "bug"
```
### Example 2: Filing a Documentation Issue
**User**: "The logs agent documentation shows TypeScript examples instead of pup commands"
**Analysis**: This is a documentation issue
**Steps**:
1. Search existing issues: `gh issue list --repo DataDog/pup --search "TypeScript"`
2. Create issue:
```bash
gh issue create \
--repo DataDog/pup \
--title "logs agent: outdated TypeScript examples in documentation" \
--body "## Description
The logs agent documentation still shows TypeScript/Node.js examples instead of pup CLI commands.
## Location
\`agents/logs.md\` lines 150-200
## Expected
Should show pup CLI command examples like:
\`\`\`bash
pup logs search --query='*' --from='1h'
\`\`\`
## Actual
Shows TypeScript code with imports and API clients
## Impact
Confusing for users who expect pup CLI commands
## Files Affected
- agents/logs.md
- Possibly other agent files (need audit)
" \
--label "documentation" \
--label "agent"
```
### Example 3: Feature Request
**User**: "Can we add an agent for Datadog SLO reporting?"
**Analysis**: This is a pup enhancement (new agent)
```bash
gh issue create \
--repo DataDog/pup \
--title "enhancement: add SLO reporting agent" \
--body "## Feature Request
### Description
Add a new agent focused on SLO reporting and analysis, separate from the SLO management agent.
### Use Cases
- Generate SLO reports for stakeholders
- Analyze SLO trends over time
- Compare SLOs across services
### Proposed Agent Capabilities
- Query SLO history
- Generate formatted reports
- Calculate SLO burn rates
- Identify at-risk SLOs
### Related Agents
- Current \`slos.md\` focuses on SLO CRUD operations
- New agent would focus on analytics and reporting
### Priority
Medium - would improve SLO workflow
" \
--label "enhancement" \
--label "agent"
```
## Error Handling
If issue creation fails:
1. Check network connectivity
2. Verify gh CLI is authenticated: `gh auth status`
3. Check repository permissions
4. Provide user with issue details to file manually
