What it does
Onboarding Summary is an agent skill from datadog-labs/agent-skills. Generate a live Single Step Instrumentation (SSI) onboarding confirmation report for Linux hosts — verifies APM instrumentation is working end-to-end with deep links into the Datadog UI. Only use after agent-install and enable-ssi have both completed.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Monitoring and alerting. It works with Linux and Datadog. The repository describes itself as: Public repository for Datadog Agent Skills. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Monitoring and alerting
Example prompts
- “/onboarding-summary”
Requirements
- A credential in SSH_KEY
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2411cc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
ssh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use ssh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
SSH_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Onboarding Summary loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 351 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:30
E` | Hostname as Datadog sees it — from `sudo datadog-agent status` | - NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:70
sudo datadog-agent status 2>&1 | grep -E "Agent \(v|Status:|API Keys status"
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

APM Onboarding Summary — Linux Host
Triggers
Invoke this skill when:
- All steps in
verify-ssihave passed - All checks in
troubleshoot-ssihave been resolved - The user asks "is everything working?", "show me the status", or "confirm APM is set up"
Do NOT invoke this skill if any verification or troubleshooting check is still failing — resolve those first.
Context to resolve before acting
| Variable | How to resolve |
|---|---|
HOSTNAME | hostname -f on the target host |
DD_HOSTNAME | Hostname as Datadog sees it — from sudo datadog-agent status |
SERVICE_NAME | DD_SERVICE value from /proc/<PID>/environ or the systemd unit |
ENV | DD_ENV value from /proc/<PID>/environ or the systemd unit |
DD_SITE | grep "^site:" /etc/datadog-agent/datadog.yaml |
SSH_KEY | Path to SSH private key |
SSH_USER | SSH username |
SSH_HOST | Hostname or IP of the target host |
Prerequisites
Claude runs
pup auth status --site <DD_SITE>If valid token — proceed.
ERROR: Not authenticated:
Claude runs
pup auth login --site <DD_SITE>This opens a browser tab for OAuth. Complete the login there — Claude will continue once the command exits.
Collect live confirmation data
Run all of the following. Each populates a row in the final report.
