Is the Datadog CLI skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from softaworks/agent-toolkit. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Datadog CLI SkillProof Score?

9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Datadog CLI?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Datadog CLI with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.6/10
Tested: Jul 13, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · b1cc94e

Asked it to triage an hour of payment-api errors: it produced the exact errors -> logs compare -> logs patterns -> logs search -> logs context -> logs trace sequence with real, doc-verified flags, versus a from-memory baseline that would have had to guess syntax for an obscure, unfamiliar npm CLI.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 9/10
Docs & honesty 5/5

What Datadog CLI does

Documents a real npm-published CLI (@leoflores/datadog-cli) for searching and tailing Datadog logs, correlating distributed traces, querying metrics, and managing dashboards, plus a step-by-step incident-triage sequence. Triggers when debugging production issues or querying Datadog observability data; requires DD_API_KEY/DD_APP_KEY env vars, so it is a developer-debugging tool rather than a general productivity skill.

How to install Datadog CLI

git clone https://github.com/softaworks/agent-toolkit
cd agent-toolkit
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r dist/plugins/datadog-cli/skills/datadog-cli ~/.claude/skills/datadog-cli

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Datadog CLI

/datadog-cli Wraps the @leoflores/datadog-cli npm tool with a scripted logs/metrics/trace incident-triage workflow.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Pull the Datadog logs and traces for this production incident and correlate them
Query our Datadog metrics and dashboards to triage why the service is erroring
Tail Datadog logs for this service and help me trace the failing request
