What it does
Update 3rd Party Libs is an agent skill from DataDog/datadog-agent, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Update a C/C++ third-party library under deps/ — bump version, reconcile sources/copts/config.h/patches, and verify the build.
Its SKILL.md is about 230 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with C++ and Datadog. The repository describes itself as: Main repository for Datadog Agent. The licence is Apache-2.0.
Example prompts
- “/update-3rd-party-libs”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash, AskUserQuestion
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 20eff25. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditGlobGrepBashAskUserQuestion
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Update 3rd Party Libs loads about 234 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 79 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.

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.

- argument-hint
- <dep-name> [target-version]
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).
